01:23As time went by, Yahya bin Ahmad's name still echoes in the corner of the bicycle race history of the country.
01:31A fighter, a legend who once brought Malaysia's Panji to the top of the world's highest bicycle race.
01:37In 1976, there was the Montreal Olympics.
01:40There were four trials from Alosta to Kuala Lumpur.
01:47I won the first place in all four trials.
01:53I was chosen as one of the four best olympians in Malaysia.
02:01The government gave me the title of the best olympian.
02:17I was the only olympian in the hockey team.
02:21I was the only olympian in the hockey team.
02:31I was the only olympian in the hockey team.
02:41I was the only olympian in the hockey team.
02:43Years went by with the trials.
02:46His health was deteriorating.
02:49His physical condition was poor.
02:52His financial burden was heavy.
02:54Oh, the saddest moment was when we wanted to stop.
02:59People said I was an old horse.
03:03Yahya is an old horse.
03:06What's old?
03:08From that moment, I felt sad.
03:10I started to feel...
03:12I started to feel...
03:13That's when I stopped.
03:15So I stopped at the age of 27, 28 years old.
03:18I stopped. I'm still strong.
03:19However, the initiative of the Ramadan Astro Arena project
03:22with the cooperation of the National Athletes' Charity Foundation
03:25succeeded
03:26in bringing back the smile and laughter
03:29that once disappeared from his face.
03:32We understand that there are many difficulties that they face
03:35because when they grow up, they don't have the attention that they deserve.
03:38So, from the Malaysian Muslim Association, we are very concerned
03:42and want to work with you in this continuous matter.
03:45And we hope that in the coming years,
03:46we will do more efforts with the athletes
03:50to provide assistance, especially for the athletes.
03:57Sometimes, I feel sad when I talk about it.
03:59Because at one point, sometimes, the government didn't look at me.
04:03It was in Italy.
04:04Luckily, there was Yaqib.
04:07I felt that Yaqib was okay.
04:10Even though it was hard for him to find money,
04:14it wasn't easy to get money to support everyone.
04:18But we were still lucky to have Yaqib.
04:21Whenever Yaqib called, we were happy.
04:24We got to meet our old friends.
04:26We chatted here and there.
04:30When we got home, we got money.
04:33I would like to wish a happy Eid Mubarak to all my friends who know me.
04:40Even though I didn't get to meet them, I felt sad.
04:44Many of my friends have passed away.
04:48Many of them have passed away. I feel sad.
04:52Even though the Eid Mubarak has come to an end,
04:54his spirit will never die.
04:56I am Zainudin for Project Ramadhan.
