KUALA LUMPUR: The Youth and Sports Ministry will build the first international standard indoor track in South-East Asia in a bid to develop athletics in the country.

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the idea for the indoor track came from the success of three para athletes – Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli, Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi and Abdul Latif Romly – at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
