KUALA LUMPUR: One doesn’t need to train with the national team to be excellent. Selangor swimmer Ng Jing Fu proved just that when he smashed a three-year national record in the 100m breaststroke at the Malaysian Open swimming championships at the National Aquatics Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday. In third for the bronze medal was Jing Fu’s state teammate Ng Yi Hao, who had a time of 1:05.50.
