PETALING JAYA: National sprint ace Mohd Azeem Fahmi (pic) has been named in Malaysia’s 52-strong athletics squad for the SEA Games in Thailand this December.

However, national head coach Manshahar Abd Jalil stressed that this does not guarantee the national 100m record holder’s participation, as Malaysia Athletics (MA) are still in talks with him.
