00:07 Former national athlete and five-time Malaysian record holder, Melinder Kaur,
00:11 broke two world records this evening at the Arena Sukan Kuala Lumpur in Setapai here.
00:16 Melinder broke the record for the fastest one-mile run with handcuffs at 5 minutes and 57 seconds.
00:24 The previous record was set by Ireland's Sandra Hickson in 2018 with a time of 6 minutes and 37
00:30 seconds. I'm super happy and I feel really satisfied and I just told myself I just do
00:39 whatever I can and thank God I managed to clock a good timing. She also became the fastest woman
00:46 to run 1.6 kilometers barefoot, a never before attempted world record. She clocked in at 6
00:53 minutes and 4 seconds under the 6.5-minute benchmark given to her by Guinness World Records.
00:58 But the second one I was really struggling but I just told myself just run, enjoy, finish the race.
01:04 While the results await official verification by Guinness World Records, Melinder has automatically
01:10 earned herself another award from the Malaysia Book of Records for her handcuffed feet,
01:15 adding to the five she already has.
