General Interest

General
RETIREMENT THOUGHTS
She thought of retiring from the sport following the shoulder and back injuries she sustained in 2016. "I have faced severe injuries such as a back pain and I was at the stage of giving up. But my teammates helped me to boost my spirit and keep working hard to recover from the injury and stay in contention to be one of the best national divers. As a professional athlete, injury is a normal thing in our careers; the more we want to avoid it, the higher the risk of an injury occurring. I went for the shoulder operation [in 2018] but it still felt painful at times. But since the COVID-19 pandemic, I had more time to recuperate and feel so much better now." (thestar.com.my, 11 Oct 2020; ocasia.org, 24 Sep 2020)

SANCTION
In March 2018 she was suspended for eight months after testing positive for the prohibited substance sibutramine at the 2017 South East Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The suspension was backdated to August 2017, meaning she was eligible to return to competition in April 2018. (malaymail.com, 06 Dec 2019; thestar.com.my, 02 Mar 2018)
