Fatherhood and family first for Latif as he skips Asean Para Games

Bundle of joy: Datuk Abdul Latif Romly has become a father a day before he was due to leave for the Asean Para Games in Thailand.

PETALING JAYA: The Asean Para Games starting in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, on Tuesday will be without one of its high profile stars as reigning world champion Datuk Abdul Latif Romly is not going for a fifth gold medal bid after becoming a father for the first time.

Her wife Datin Nurul Nabila Farhana Musaidi gave birth to their first child on Friday night and the new dad decided to skip the Asean Para Games a day before departing.
