Malaysia has created history by winning two gold medals at the Rio Paralympics in Brazil, and etching one of the victories by setting a new world record.

The first gold medal was won by Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi on Sunday (Saturday in Rio de Janeiro) in the 100m T36 (celebral palsy) event, and the second by Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli with a new world record in the Men's Shot Put F20 (intellectual disability) event, also today.
