Now in his 80's, he is still an active sportsman, but also heavily involved as chairman of Young Talent Track & Field Sdn Bhd (YTTF), which is a long-term community engagement initiative to help young children achieve sporting and academic distinction. Karu joins us to share his story, and how YTTF is working towards restoring Malaysia’s reputation as a feared and respected athletics power in Asia.
