He later competed against able-bodied badminton players and joined the able-bodied squad when he was 12 years old.^[4] He completed his pre-university education in Bukit Jalil Sports School.^[5] He competed in both able-bodied and para-badminton tournaments before exclusively competing in the latter upon obtaining his degree.^[6]
