00:29And he is on a mission to defend the gold medal he won in this edition to record the 5th gold medal.
00:3618 years ago, there was a situation that almost took his life.
00:41Let's listen to what he has to say.
00:45I have been playing padang bowling for 20 years.
00:49I started playing in 2003-2004.
00:54Before this, I participated in the Sukma edition 3 times.
01:00Until in 2006, I had an accident.
01:06I injured my hand.
01:11When I was injured, I gave up my life.
01:21Before this, I lived a normal life.
01:24Now, I am injured.
01:27I have given up my life.
01:30Then, I was introduced to OKU Long Ball.
01:36Originally, I played from normal to par.
01:41That's for OKU.
01:43From there, I met many people who were worse than me.
01:49From there, my spirit came back to continue my life.
01:55Before this, I thought my life was meaningless.
02:01So, I joined OKU Long Ball in 2008.
02:08In 2008, I won the gold medal in KL.
02:16In 2010, I won the gold medal in Melaka.
02:21In 2012, there was a problem.
02:25So, I withdrew from OKU Long Ball.
02:30In 2018, I made a comeback.
02:34I still hold on to the gold medal.
02:37In 2008 and 2022.
02:42Inshallah, this is the fifth time that I will try to hold on to the gold medal.
