KUALA LUMPUR: Khairul Hafiz Jantan is not only the fastest junior sprinter in Asia. He is also a devoted son.

The first thing he did after receiving the RM12,500 incentive from the National Sports Council (NSC) – for winning a gold and two silvers in the 17th Asian Junior Championships in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, last month – was to hand it over to his parents.
