If Azeem skips, Aiman’s on the blocks


PETALING JAYA: Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) 100m sprint champion Aiman Ikhwan Yahya (pic) has emerged as a potential replacement should national star Mohd Azeem Fahmi skip the Thailand SEA Games later this year.

The 18-year-old SMK Tunku Anum student blazed to a meet record of 10.40s, a time faster than the bronze medal mark at the 2023 Cambodia SEA Games where Khairul Hafiz Jantan clocked 10.45s.
