PETALING JAYA: Former national cyclist Josiah Ng is never one to shy away from a challenge.

He was kicked out of home when he was just 18 for choosing cycling over studies. And he went on to write a letter to the National Sports Council (NSC) to offer to ride for the country while he was still an unknown.
