PETALING JAYA: MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has congratulated national shuttler Cheah Liek Hou for bringing home a gold for Malaysia in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
“A second gold medal for Malaysia! Congratulations to Cheah Liek Hou for winning the gold medal for Malaysia in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games after defeating world number one, Dheva Anrimusthi of Indonesia 21-17, 21-15,” Dr Wee wrote in a Facebook post on Saturday (Sept 4).
Cheah defeated Indonesia’s Anrimusthi in a 50-minute men’s singles SU5 final at the Yoyogi National Stadium in Tokyo on Saturday.
Besides the world titles and Paralympics gold, 33-year-old Cheah is also a multiple medal winner of the Asian Para Games and Asean Para Games.
The gold was Malaysia’s second after powerlifter Bonnie Bunyau Gustin’s triumph in the men’s 72kg category. Malaysia also won silvers through powerlifter Jong Yee Khie in the men’s 107kg and Chew Wei Lun in boccia BC1 individual.
