Hanis shaping up well to take over from seniors

NATIONAL diver Hanis Nazirul Jaya Surya (pic) is planning to replace his seniors in the springboard events when they call it a day.

The 21-year-old, representing the Federal Territories (FT), proved he had the potential to take over from the likes of Ooi Tze Liang, 28, Chiew Yiwei and Mohd Syafiq Puteh (both 26) after capturing gold in the 1m and bronze in the 3m events in the Malaysia Games (Sukma) at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
