PETALING JAYA: Former Malaysian 400m hurdles champion Zambrose Abdul Rahman died yesterday in Seremban from throat cancer. He was 76.

His proudest moment must have been winning the 4x400m relay gold medal at the 1969 Rangoon SEAP Games with teammates G Rajalingam, AS Nathan and Asir Victor. Former national walker V Subramaniam, who worked with him at Telekom Malaysia for nine years, said they both coached the company’s athletics team.

Middle and long-distance runner turned coach Papu Ignatius said he trained with Zambrose at the Prisons training centre at Jalan Gurney, Kuala Lumpur.
