Since 1977, Malaysia have dominated men’s high jump at the Sea Games with the likes of Baljit Singh, Ramjit Nairu, Ho Yoon Wah, S. Kesavan, Lou Cwee Peng, Loo Kum Zee, Lee Hup Wei and Nauraj Singh Randhawa.Recently, in a great leap forward for Malaysian athletics, Hup Wei has gone further than any others in the country at world level. At the other end, it is Nauraj, who had qualified for the Rio Olympics three years ago, who still holds the national record of 2.30m.
Lee Hup Wei became the first Malaysian athlete to reach the final of the World Athletics Championships in Doha recently. We also had dedicated sport teachers in the various sports, who also apart from being coaches, acted as talent scouts. Many high jumpers have been spotted and groomed from school level. The Kem Bakat programme also spotted many talented athletes and developed them from there.
However, the athlete must have the talent, discipline, and desire for success, and also the coaches and facilities.High jump has a strong tradition in Malaysia because of the past champions. In my case, I was so impressed by former national jumper Baljit Singh in Sabah that I took up the discipline. I was lucky to have come under the wing of Baljit, and I competed with him before he retired and became my coach.
