81 GOING ON 18
I met a very interesting person today. His name is Encik Jamil. He is one of the match officials for badminton during the Super IV Games in Ipoh. What is remarkable about him is that he is 81 years old but has the energy and drive of an 18 year old. I could see this elderly gentleman actively going about the courts the whole afternoon when the matches were being played. Not only is he physically fit but he is also mentally alert. I am told he cracked some witty jokes during the managers' meeting on the first day.
