Steely determination


Record breaker: Puteri Nur Adillah Shik Azizir Rahman celebrating after clearing 3.80m in the pole vault at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh yesterday.

POLE vaulter Puteri Nur Adillah Shik Azizir Rahman comes from a poor family.

But the hardship has only made her stronger as the pint-sized Negri Sembilan lass showed great resolve to break an 18-year Malaysia Games (Sukma) girls’ pole vault record twice at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh yesterday.
