He began playing badminton at age 12. (cnnindonesia.com, 10 Oct 2018)

"At the beginning, my family rejected the idea of me becoming a badminton player. I was considered incapable. In reality I never felt ashamed when playing with my friends. It was at university that the assumption was gone. I was seen as capable when competing against able-bodied players." (cnnindonesia.com, 10 Oct 2018)

To reach the semifinals at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. (thestar.com.my, 23 Jun 2020)

RETIREMENT PLANS
He plans to retire after competing at the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. "This is the first time badminton is contested at the Paralympics and I don't want to miss it. It's also my best chance to probably end my career as a Paralympic medallist. I don't think I'll be able to do it in 2024 as I'll be almost 50 then. The 2020 Games will feature only six players, but this is the cream of the crop. They are all younger than me by at least 10 years. My target is to enter the semis first. If I can do that, then the sky is the limit." (thestar.com.my, 23 Jun 2020)
