PETALING JAYA: Forget about winning an Olympic or a Commonwealth Games medal. Former Malaysian swimmer Alex Lim Keng Liat will be happy just to have someone step up and break his long-standing national records in the 100m and 200m backstroke events.To this day, Keng Liat remains one of the most successful swimmers Malaysia has produced.
He reached the top 16 semi-finals at the 2004 Athens Olympics, was a finalist at the World Championships in Barcelona in 2003, a Commonwealth Games double medallist in Manchester in 2002 and rocked Bangkok in 1998 with a historic Asian Games gold and an Asian record – all in his pet 100m backstroke event.
