Kota Kinabalu: Sarawakian shot putter Jonah Chang Rigan reportedly shattered the national record once again.

His earlier throw of 18.09 meters had already broken the national record, but in his final attempt, he gave it his all to reaffirm his position as the undisputed national number one in the shot putt event.
