Built to last – bodybuilders endure 17-hour transit


PETALING JAYA: It’s no joke to spend 17 hours at the airport but that’s exactly what the national bodybuilders had to go through as they prepare for the World Bodybuilding and Physique Championship in Uzbekistan from Oct 1-7.

At the world meet, Malaysia will be represented by defending world champion Mohd Syarul Azman Mahen Abdullah (pic), Buda Anchah, Malvern Abdullah, Ahmad Faiz Ariffin, Zamarul Adam and sole woman representative Meilaura Dora.
