In a message to the Malaysian Ziyad Zolkefli who was in smashing form as he delivered the perfect Merdeka gift for Malaysia before the gold medal was taken away from him, the Malaysian PM says he will remain the ‘champion in our hearts.”
Ziyad broke the world record twice at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo. Ziyad was disqualified over a technicality after a protest from Ukrainian athlete Maksym Koval.
“To Ziyad, you remain the champion in our hearts, breaking the world record is an incredible thing!
“My Malaysian Family and I are so proud of you! Let us all pray that the gold medal victory remains in the hands of Malaysia #malaysiaboleh #letlogicprevail.”
