The national anthem, “Negaraku” reverberated around the Hangzhou Gymnasium when Noor Askuzaimey Mat Salim clinched the maiden boccia gold medal in the women’s BC4 event while Angeline Melissa Lawas and Lee Chee Hoong contributed the silver medals.

Noor Askuzaimey, the Cambodia Asean Para Games gold medallist, emerged triumphant when she defeated China’s Lin Ximei 3-2 in the BC4 final. (The BC4 category includes players with non-cerebral impairments that also impact their coordination.)

Yuen Cheung of Hong Kong took the bronze medal after overcoming Thailand’s Nuanchan Phonsila 3-2.

However, there was no such luck for Malaysia’s Chee Hoong when he lost 5-3 to Indonesia’s Felix Ardi Yudha in the final of the men’s BC2 event. (The BC2 class players have better trunk and arm function than those in class BC1. The abilities of their arms and hands often allow them to throw the ball overhand and underhand and with a variety of grasps.)

South Korea’s Lee Chung Ho took home the bronze medal after defeating Thailand’s Watcharaphon Vongsa 4-2.

Malaysia’s Angeline Melissa also fell short in the women’s BC1 final when she lost 8-2 to China’s Qi Zhang while Thailand’s Satanan Phromsiri settled for the bronze medal after defeating Rio 2016 Paralympic gold medallist Furiko Fujii of Japan 7-1. (The BC1 category’s athletes have severe activity limitations affecting their legs, arms, and trunk, and are typically dependent on a powered wheelchair.)
