Ilham sets new 400m record, next target is the national mark


IT is only his first Malaysia Games (Sukma) but Muhammad Ilham Suhaimi (pic) of Selangor created the biggest roar in the athletic competition by breaking a 16-year record in the boys’ 400m.

The 18-year-old was in sizzling form at the Perak Stadium yesterday as he clocked a personal best of 47.02 to shatter the old mark of 47.34 set by Muhd Zaiful Zainal Abidin of Federal Territories in Sabah in 2002.
