"I've messaged him and he's okay. He could send whatsapp to me. He is being checked by the doctor and he says not to worry and the CT scan report is normal.
"That's a big relief, I saw the video and how they rushed to give him instant aid. The National Sports Institute (ISN) was the first to highlight this to me so I've told the CEO to see what kind of rehab we can do for him," she said when met here on Sunday.
At the time of the incident, Tze Liang was competing with his national teammate Mohd Syafiq Puteh as well as divers from Japan, New Zealand, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Singapore. He had to withdraw from the event.
