00:00Four years in a row, Malaysia has been in a state of shock
00:03because of the story of the inspiration of the country's Paralympic athletes.
00:06That's right, and this year was no exception
00:08when the country's contingent managed to bring back
00:10two gold medals, two silver medals and one bronze medal from Paris.
00:14But did you know that the moment of the start
00:16for the heroes of an extraordinary country like Zia Zulkifli
00:19all started from a private school?
00:22According to the exclusive interview
00:24with the winner of the Paralympic silver medal from Paris,
00:26which was prepared by reporter Karl Nunez.
00:30The story of Zia Zulkifli
00:34Sukan Pendidik Ahas is the beginning of Zia
00:40Zia at school until Zia now
00:44I started from Pendidik Ahas
00:46School from Pendidik Ahas, I know Sukan
00:50I know, I'm really interested in Sukan
00:53In Pendidik Ahas, there are many branches of Sukan that I can pick
00:58For example, I used to play football
01:01I used to play 400m track
01:06I used to play 800m
01:08All the branches of Sukan that are related to sports
01:11I picked them all
01:13In Pendidik Ahas, it's a new beginning and a new world
01:18that I can see, I can go further
01:23I've heard, but I don't know
01:25I've heard that we need to set up a school
01:32for those who lack education
01:37For Pendidik Ahas
01:39We will have a branch of Akaumbi
01:41to get younger athletes
01:46From there, our career begins
01:49From there, we will choose which branch of Sukan we are really interested in
01:54From there, it's really the beginning of Pendidik Ahas
02:02The story of Zia from childhood
02:04Zia was a person who liked to be alone
02:08When she was young, she didn't like to be around many people
02:13Zia was not a person who liked to smile
02:15Zia was also a person who was very shy
02:21Zia didn't have self-confidence to speak in front of people
02:26Zia used to be a champion in school
02:31But when my teacher called me to go up the mountain
02:34I would never go up
02:35I would take a shortcut
02:38or a dirt road to go up the mountain
02:44because I was too shy
02:46If you compare Zia to now
02:49She is more confident
02:51She is more confident
02:53She is more cheerful
02:57She has a sweet smile
02:59If I were to describe her to you
03:01I would say that she was a bit shy
03:03She was too crowded
03:06When she was in Sukan
03:08She changed my life 360 degrees
03:12She was very brave
03:17She was very disciplined
03:19She was confident
03:23When she got the baton
03:26She gave me support
03:28She gave me attention
03:30Attention is something that boosts you
03:33In Sukan
03:34For me, it boosts me
03:35You don't have to be afraid
03:37In Sukan, you have to enjoy it
03:40When people give me boosters
03:42I feel more energized
03:4470,000 people are watching me
03:47That is something that is extraordinary
03:50It is like having a chance
03:53to go to Sukan
03:57You learn while you are in Sukan
03:59Our school is a regular school
04:03Without the school
04:06There is no champion
