PADANG BESAR :"Fly Latif... fly Latif!” Those were the encouraging screams by Salmah Yatim as she willed her son Abdul Latif Romly while staying glued to the television watching him take part in the long jump event at the Tokyo Paralympics on Saturday .
"Thank God... I am grateful for Latif’s success because he has brought glory to the country,” said Salmah, 64, after Abdul Latif won the gold medal with a leap of 7.45 metres.Salmah, who is affectionately called Cek Mah, also hoped that the youngest of her seven children was not seriously hurt after sustaining an injury in the fifth jump, which forced him to forgo the sixth and final attempt.
Meanwhile, Abdul Latif’s father, Romly Mat, 70 said he had made a vow to shave his head bald if Latif won on Saturday.
Best ever wishes.
