KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is ready to provide specialist assistance to former race walking champion G. Saravanan, who is stricken with motor neurone disease (MND), says minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad (pic).

He said this is because Saravanan, who won the men’s 50km walk gold medal at the 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games, is a sports icon who deserves attention.
