Dad’s drive pays off with gold


Close bond: Sriven Tan being carried by his father and coach Tan Chee Leong after the prize-giving ceremony.

TAN Chee Leong lives in Kepala Batas in the north of mainland Penang and travels to Tanjung Malim in Perak twice a week – just to train his son in speed walking.

The father’s sacrifice has paid off, with Penang walker Sriven Tan coming home with the Malaysia Games (Sukma) boys’ 10,000m walk gold medal.
