WHEELCHAIR-BOUND Dr Mohd Sharizal Abdul Aziz was proud to be the second last torchbearer for the northern and central Seberang Prai legs of the Kuala Lumpur 2017 SEA Games Torch Run.

The 34-year-old mechanical engineering lecturer was the one who handed the torch to Bukit Mertajam Umno division chief Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir to mark the end of the torch run for both legs.
