PETALING JAYA: Teen sensation Khiew Hoe Yean is simply unstoppable as he capped off a superb week at the Malaysian Open swimming championships with another national record. And he did it in style as the record fell in his first attempt in the men’s 800m freestyle. On Saturday, Hoe Yean broke the 23-year-old record held by Lim Keng Liat in the 200m backstroke. Hoe Yean was delighted with his performance after netting four personal bests on his first return to competition since the National Age-Group Championships in March last year. I was however surprised but satisfied with my 200m free,” said Hoe Yean.
