PETALING JAYA: It’s time for Malaysia’s athletics wonder woman Shereen Samson Vallabouy to conquer the South-East Asian region.

Based on her current hot form and record-breaking feat, Shereen has all the credentials to end the country’s 24-year wait for a women’s 400m gold medal at the Cambodia SEA Games next month.
