IPOH: At 93, masters athletics sprinter Pushpanathan Letchmanan uses “old age” as an asset rather than a crutch.
The verve of the nonagenarian is electrifying: he challenges himself, aims high and keeps his internal flame alight with an aura of age-defying spirit.

“Never allow anything or anyone to define who you are at any stage of your life,” Pushpanathan said. “We have to do what brings us joy.”
