Nur Nadiah Osman breaks Malaysian Javelin Record
>> May 12, 2013
NILAI (Malaysia) 12.05.13 ____ A NEW Malaysian National Record established in the women's Javelin Throw during the 2013 Negeri-Sembilan State Championships. SITI NUR NADIAH OSMAN (b. 25 February 1993) who registered a throw of 45.87m in her 5th attempt, successfully surpassed Ho Sin Hui 44.98 NR set in 2008 Malaysian Games in Kuala Terengganu.
Nur Fathin Adibah Surahman came 2nd in 42.96 while Nur Akilah Amran 3rd in 236.54.
Readers may NOT be confused the the better distances or marks by Norsham Yoon who finally has thrown her best at 47.50m in 1989 SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, which is now to be valued as "national best" only as it was achieved with 'old' javelin specification.
New javelin specification for women's JT has been introduced in 1999.
Meanwhile SUKMA Gold medalist Harith Ammar Sobri takes the men's 100m title, clocking 10.8h (-2.7), ahead of Sebastian Lee who crosses the line in 10.9h. Heats in the morning seems to produce better timings because of the conditions with some tailwinds. In heat 6 Shahmimi Azmi has run the fastest among finalists with a time of 10.77 (finals false start) followed by Sebastian in 10.87 in the same heat.
Women's 100m final was won by Komalam Shally in 12.2h (-2.4), beating Siti Zubaidah Adabi in 2nd place (12.4h).
More to come.

Former International Dilbagh Singh Kler Dies at 76
>> October 19, 2012
Dilbagh Singh Kler (b. 14 April 1936, Kota Kinabalu), one of the Malaysian track and field's most illustrious names died yesterday (18 October 2012) after being admitted a week following a short illness at Queen Elizabeth Hospital II in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. He was 76 years old.
He started competing internationally in late 1950's and then went to compete in all World's major events likes Olympic Games, Commonwealth Games (formerly British Empire & CWG) and Asian Games. He also appeared in four SEAP Games (now SEA Games).
In 1964, he represented Malaysia at the XVIII Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. He finished 10th (9:18.8s) in heat 3 of 3000m Steeplechase which was won by Soviet's Adolf Alexeiunas (8:31.8s).
Many national records surpassed and renewed by Dilbagh during his prime time (1960's), the last one was in December 15, 1971 (at age of 35) in Kuala Lumpur where he broke his own 3000m Steeplechase national record with 9:16.0s, which has stood until renewed by M.Ramakrishnan in 1982.
Announced his retirement soon after that, but then involved in many coaching clinics and talent identifications mostly done by himself for decades. And one of his activities was involving myself as a kid/participant back in early 1990's !!
His younger brother Datuk Balwant Singh Ker (b. 1938) is a secretary general of the Asian Triathlon Confederation. Previously served as the official statistician for the Asian Amateur Athletics Association / AAAA (now AAA), and is a member of the Association of Track and Field Statisticians (ATFS) since 1976.
His father Datuk Gurbakhs Singh Kler (b. 1912) migrated to North Borneo (now Sabah, Malaysia) in 1920's, started with sports activities after advised by a doctor, and then became the "VVIP" of the North Borneo / Malayan / Malaysian sports especially athletics. He started compiling athletics statistics in late 1930's and became the author of dozens sports books and statistics. He also went to several Olympics as a manager. In the 50th Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) anniversary in 2004, he was one of the 50 outstanding retired athletes/officials who inducted into the OCM Hall of Fame, in recognition in their superb contributions.
Dilbagh, until his last breath, "did not manage" to find a Sabahan successor in long distances, as his records at 3000m Steeplechase, 1500m, 5000m , and 10000m (see 'personal bests') remains as the State records of Sabah, while his 800m record was only surpassed in 2008 by youngster Yunus Lasaleh, who later switched into 400m.
In 2006, he was conferred Datukship (equivalent to Knighthood in Britain) by the "Yang Di Pertua Negeri / Head of State".
