A father's sacrifice for his Olympian daughter

KUCHING - His father's words and his own tough life. Those were the things Pamg Joheng drew upon to push him to sacrifice everything for his children.
And if Malaysia's new darling Pandelela Rinong drew even a little from her father's drive and sacrifice, those were the things that started her journey towards Olympic bronze, a journey which by all indications, is far from over.
Pamg never went far in his studies. Knowing just how tough life was without education, he vowed his children would never experience what he went through during his younger days. Staying close to his father's teaching, Pamg always reminded his children to plan ahead.
"My father used to tell me to plan two days ahead, so that we can live today," Pamg told the New Sunday Times.
It could be said that Pamg took his father's words and built on it. Instead of planning two days ahead, he planned years ahead. It was 12 years ago, when Pandelela was 7, Pamg would take her and her elder brother, Pardika Indoma, 8, for diving lessons.
Despite earning only RM45 (S$17.95) a day, the contract worker knew he had to sacrifice for his children's future.
