I dun think U need a permit to use roof racks. Just check with JPJ la.. but I really dun think there's any requirement for a permit, or else we won't see so many roof racks on so many cars.

Used to be. When I was racing the track program at SSBJ was just starting. That was like 12 years ago, so I dun think Azizulhasni was around at that time. My specialty was sprints & kilo.. I was a track sprinter. Ranked as high as 2nd national in 1996.

When I decided to quit, Josiah had just returned to Malaysia, met him a couple of times, never had the chance to race him though.

My former coach, Rosman Alwi is now coach at SSBJ (I think)..

Azizulhasni is indeed a special breed. & the whole national track team is now really world-class, with a world-class coach & managing to challenge at world level. During my time, U'd never heard of anybody clocking 10secs for flying 200m, the national record in 1997 was 10.98 by Rosman. Nowadays at least 4-5 guys in the track team is capable of clocking mid 10secs.

In the late 90s & early 2000s, our best kilo rider was Jamil Kadiron (I dunno where he is now). His best time (& national record) was around 1:08. Nowadays Rizal Tisin can do very low 1:02s... at ACC last year I think he won it with 1:01.. during my time, that kinda time was a world record...

So much has changed now in track cycling, better bikes, better training technique, better understanding of aerodynamics... all that contributes to phenomenal times. Wished I had stayed around longer...

isn't ZIPP a tyre and rim brand, not bike brand la
