Hannah Yeoh also announced that the government will reward Cheah Liek Hou with RM1 million and a lifetime monthly allowance of RM5,000 under the Skim Insentif Sukan Olimpik (SITO). This initiative aims to motivate all athletes and serve as a significant appreciation for their hard work and dedication.

The 36-year-old para-athlete clinched his second Paralympic gold by defeating Indonesia’s Suryo Nugroho in straight sets, 21-13 and 21-15, at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena.

His victory is being celebrated across the nation, representing not only his extraordinary skill and dedication but also a major milestone for Malaysia on the global para-sports stage. Cheah’s success serves as an inspiration to athletes everywhere and marks a proud moment for Malaysia in the world of Paralympic Games.
