Powerlifting world record by Matthew Yap

Matthew Yap sets world record but had no money to come home. After
setting a world record at the World Classic Powerlifting Championship

in Belarus for lifting 208kg in the men’s Under 66kg sub junior division,

Matthew and his brother, acting as his coach, were caught in a

misunderstanding by the Belarus immigration. The immigration officer

demanded US$600 for not having the requisite visa.
