PETALING JAYA: Norfaizzul Abdul Razak was disappointed when he was told that he could not leave the takraw team training camp and join his family’s Hari Raya celebrations this year.

But he was celebrating twice as happily after helping the men’s team to a silver medal in the team regu event in the Hanoi SEA Games yesterday.
