SHAH ALAM: Butterfly specialist Yap Siew Hui soared to a double to kickstart host Selangor’s bid to retain the overall title in the MSSM (national schools) swimming championships at the Darul Ehsan Aquatic Centre here.
Siew Hui was not at her best but still managed to smash the previous meet record of 29.34 seconds, held by former SEA Games gold medallist swimmer Leung Chii Lin in 2007, in the girls’ 16-18 year-old 50m butterfly race on Monday.
