KUALA LUMPUR: Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin has challenged newly-crowned para athletics world champions Ziyad Zolkefli and Abdul Latif Romly to deliver gold medals at the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games next month.

Ziyad and Abdul Latif will not only be making history as the first two para athletes to compete against able-bodied athletes at the KL Games but, based on their personal bests, can possibly contend for gold medals as well.
