Latif leads Malaysia’s quest to complete 10-gold haul at Paralympics

Mission to accomplish: The Malaysian Paralympics contingent in high spirits before leaving for Paris on Aug 23.

PARIS: The national contingent’s success in bringing home three gold medals from the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games not only made history for Malaysia but also introduced a new dimension to the country’s para sports scene.

The groundbreaking achievements by para athletes Datuk Abdul Latif Romly, Mohd Ziyad Zolkefli and Mohd Ridzuan Mohd Puzi in Brazil have had a significant impact on the development of para sports, an endeavour the community may have overlooked previously.
