PETALING JAYA: Paralympic champion Cheah Liek Hou maintained his dominance at the Asean Para Games after securing his sixth men’s singles (SU5) gold in Solo, Indonesia, yesterday, without the presence of coach Rashid Sidek.

Liek Hou, who has been with Rashid for more than two years and won the Paralympic gold under the tutelage of the former Olympic bronze medallist, has resigned to the fact that he will be preparing for the 2024 Paris Paralympics under a new coach.
