KUALA LUMPUR: A 12-year-old disabled boy has victoriously finished a 100m race using underarm crutches during the Jerantut school district meet earlier this week.
In a 48-second clip, the one-legged preteen who was competing in the semi-finals received tremendous support from his teacher who was seen accompanying him every step of the way to the finish line.
He was competing in MSSD Jerantut for the Integrated Special Education Programmes (PPKI).
Netizens have showered him with praises and support for the duo who had displayed a high sportsmanship spirit.
