KUALA LUMPUR - A 22-year-old Malaysian electronic engineer has claimed a national record for running backwards. S. Moganasundar ran backwards for 30 kilometres (18.75 miles), taking three hours, 30 minutes and 35 seconds to complete the feat at the Perak Stadium in the northeastern town of Ipoh.

"I am happy I did this. I always wanted to do something meaningful in life," he said.
