If Jason Chee can do it, you certainly have no excuse to be the best person you can be. The table tennis player just took home the gold earlier today at the Asean Para Games.
The 34-year-old para athlete clinched his first ever individual gold medal in the Games, emerging top dog in the men’s individual Class 2 event after beating Thailand’s Thinathet Natthawut of Thailand and fellow countrymen Eric Ting and Darren Chua. It’s a hard-earned victory for Chee, who won silver the last time round in 2015.
An accident on board a Republic of Singapore Navy warship in 2012 took both of Chee’s legs, his left arm and three fingers on his right hand. In April, he was diagnosed with choroidal melanoma — a cancer of the eye — after a tumor was found in his right eye, and that led to its removal a month later.
