Making way for juniors at Asean Para Games is no issue for Liek Hou


Switching priority: Cheah Liek Hou will focus on winning honours at the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou in October.

PETALING JAYA: Cheah Liek Hou is not disappointed that he won’t be able to defend his SU5 gold medal at the Asean Para Games (June 3-9) as a more important mission – the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou – await him in October.

Liek Hou, who never says no to an opportunity to compete internationally, said the National Sports Council (NSC) have made the call for the back-up players to gain exposure and fight for medals in Cambodia.
