MALAYSIA sprint queen Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli broke the 31-year-old national women’s 100m record at the Perlis Open, clocking 11.49 seconds.
This surpasses the previous record of 11.50 seconds set by G Shanti in 1993.
Zaidatul, known as “Adik,” took gold, while Nur Afrina Batrisyia Rizal earned silver with 11.91 seconds, and Azreen Nabila Alias claimed bronze with 12 seconds.
