To everyone that has been showing me so much #love over the past few days, thank you so much! You guys are the best 🙆🏻 I appreciate every single like, comment and all the kind words. ❤️❤️❤️ A lot of you have been asking me about the meet up tomorrow at IOI and unfortunately I won't be there, but I'll be doing an instagram live SUNDAY at 11am for anyone that has any questions!

The last gold was the most special to me because I got to share the podium with my team. Despite two falls, we still got back up and pulled through with almost a lap ahead of the competition. Proud of how hard my girls have been working and how we worked together as a team. Together, team Malaysia got 145 golds, double that of Thailand and way over our target! Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend and celebrating #seagames2017 day on Monday... what is everyone doing to celebrate?

3 GOLDS 🥇🥇🥇
Overwhelmed by all the support I have received in the last few days - everyone one of your messages has meant the world to me! These medals were for MALAYSIA 🇲🇾 couldn't have been prouder or more honoured to close the gold medal tally this #seagames2017 Everything that could go wrong, went wrong - from my suit to my laces breaking. But winning is a reward that you receive when you put in the hard work. Today, it paid off 🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼

What a race. What a day. 1000m and 3000m relay tomorrow. Let's do this! 💪🏼💪🏼🏆 #seagames2017 📸: Bazuki Muhammad

GOLD 🥇🏆#seagames2017
Today was a very emotional day for me. I have waited for this moment for so long. This medal is dedicated to my family and friends who may not have been racing on the ice, but have been there every step of the way. This was your moment as much as it was mine. To my coach, who has pushed me even when I thought I had nothing left - you have made me the athlete that I have become. This is also dedicated to all the Malaysians out there that continue to dream big - you can achieve anything that you set your mind and time to. Remember that gold medals aren't just made of metal, but blood, sweat, tears and a lot of hard work. This wasn't luck or talent, but the result of a lot of hard work and sacrifices.

Today is Women's Equality Day, which marks the 19th year that women are allowed to vote in the US. Those who are close to me will know how important the issue of women's equality is for me. I've personally been affected by patriarchal and sexist behaviours and mistreatment and I hope to advocate for a more inclusive and respectful future. 🌏💃🏻
Feminism is not about making women stronger - women are already strong. It's about recognising that strength, and treating women fairly and both genders equally. It's about changing the way people perceive women and how we judge them. There is no limit to what we as women can achieve, especially when we stick together and lift each other up. #womensequalityday #yeswecan 💪🏼
