GOLD COAST: Tern Jian Han made yet another big splash as he smashed Alex Lim Keng Liat's 16-year national record in the 50m backstroke event.
The 22-year-old clocked a time of 25.60 en route to finishing sixth in the semi-finals at the Commonwealth Games.
The time was good enough to erase Alex's time of 25.67, which was recorded during the 2002 Manchester Games.
The superb effort also earned Jian Han a place in the final as he qualified as the fifth fastest swimmer.
He is the second Malaysian to make the final at this Games.
Welson Sim made the final in the 400m freestyle on Thursday but only finished seventh.
