COMMONWEALTH EXPERIENCE
"It was my first Commonwealth Games (2014) and I wasn’t sure about the strength of the other nine lifters. I was surprised to win the bronze medal. I did the nation proud by winning the only medal in the Para sport. It has also boosted my morale to continue training harder to win more medals for Malaysia." (thestar.com.my, 3 Aug 2014)
