PAST records will not count in the criteria for selection with the
National Shooting Association of Malaysia (NSAM). Consistency does.
In slashing their Commonwealth Games shooting list yesterday, NSAM left
out Sea Games air rifle gold medallist Azmi Zakaria and Commonwealth
Countries Shooting Championship team air rifle gold medallist Noriha Rani.
Seven shooters were dropped and two more face the axe because NSAM only
want 22 to represent the country.
Nordalila Abu Bakar, Aziz Brahem, David Hor, Roland Lau and Villow Kabah
were also dropped.
