Boxer’s Games hopes dashed
BUKIT MERTAJAM: A national boxing team trainee’s hopes of representing Malaysia in the SEA Games next month were dashed when 20 men attacked him with knives and broken bottles.
B. Perabagaran, 21, needed 50 stitches on his right arm and leg after the attack in Kuala Lumpur on Oct 28.
The Lumut-based physical training instructor with the Royal Malaysian Navy was coming out from the toilet of a food court when he was set upon by the group, around 10.30pm.
Assault wounds: Suresh pointing out the injuries on Perabagaran’s body Wednesday, as the boxer’s uncle S. Kasi looks on. “I was rushed to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital where I was admitted for three days,” he said at a press conference called by state MIC Youth chairman M. Suresh here yesterday.
Perabagaran said his chances at the SEA Games in Laos were affected as he was unable to attend the month-long training that started in Haadyai, Thailand, on Oct 29.
