Aid for Pak Alwi

Pak Alwi Ahmad's sheer upper body strength enables him to carry Choy Mow Thim over his shoulders all those years ago. Mow Thim finished second in the 200km road race in the 1965 SEAP Games. Picture by Lim Ghee Haw (NSTP Resource Centre).

Today, Pak Alwi is bed-ridden. Sports Minister, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, paid him a visit on Thursday. Pic courtesy of blogger asampedas.

Our prayers are with Pak Alwi. His son Rosman was one of cycling's icons in the early 1980s. Read here and here. Pak Alwi's Alfa GTA still lingers on my mind. Read here
