Biography
Started: He began the sport in 2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "It wasn't easy picking up tennis because I wasn't an athlete before my injury. I had zero knowledge about tennis when I started." (Athlete, 28 Jun 2016; thestar.com.my, 12 Sep 2017)
Reason: He was encouraged to take up wheelchair tennis by his wife Norisah. "She was the one who introduced the sport to me and encouraged me to focus on it full-time. My wife is 10 years older than me. She's been in a wheelchair longer than me, yet she is independent and has her own career. She shared a lot of her experiences and is my source of inspiration."
