- At the age of 16, Marina Chin made her mark in the Malaysian athletics scene by winning the 100m and 200m events at the School Zone Athletics Championships in 1971. Her outstanding performance caught the eye of the Malaysian Athletics Association, which led to her participation in the 1971 SEA Games, where she clinched a gold medal in the 4x400m relay.
Marina continued to dominate the SEA Games, earning five more gold medals and breaking the championship record twice in the 100m hurdles. She also achieved glory at the Asian Athletics Championships, with her final gold medal coming from the 4x400m relay event in 1981. She was recognised as the Sportswoman of the Year in 1976 and 1977 consecutively.
In the 70s, besides being a prominent figure in Malaysian athletics. She also had stunning looks that earned her the title of Railway Beauty Queen in 1975. She was a remarkable woman who combined athletic excellence and aesthetic appeal.
After retiring from athletics, Marina pursued her career as a teacher and was involved in various sport activities organised by the Ministry of Education and the National Sports Council. She was the former Bukit Jalil Sports School principal where she retired in 2015 after 39 years working with the Education Ministry.
In 2017, Marina had the honour of being Malaysia’s chef-de-mission at the KL SEA Games, completing her journey as a track and field legend. She was delighted to be back at the Games to support the emerging talents.
We hope that Marina Chin’s accomplishments and dedication will inspire future generations.
Im a 70s child and grew up as a big fan of Datuk Marina Chin! ❤
She is the most beautiful sprinter of her time. She is simply attractive.
Yes agreed
Salute to you my big sister. Those were the days when Malaysians where Malaysians.
Well said
She teaches English when I was in Pudu Secondary Girls School - for a brief period I think. We always look out for this beautiful lady. She is still so beautiful in this video.❤
In 1979 my PE teacher in PESS was Datuk M Rajamani, another ex country runner
Me too was in Pudu Secondary Girls school.
Me too was in PESS n my PE teacher was M Rajamani
She's even an English teacher at Ampang Girls School and Puan Sri Bainun Ali(spouse of the late Sultan Azlan Shah)
Two figure during my school days
When I was still studying, I really adore her.
Beautiful, tall & lanky
Tq so much for making Malaysia known
I remember her. I was in primary school but used to watch the field and track events because of her, Mdm Angamma and the rest of the team. Really felt proud of them.
The gorgeous living legend of Malaysian Athletics....

Datuk Marina was my senior in Sentul Convent. Always admired her. Tall, pretty and good in sports.

Reminiscent of Malaysia's Golden Generation. Thank you for sharing, Maam !
Legend!! Used to watch her during teens. Favourite besides Lydia De Vega and many more!!
Interesting life story, thanks for sharing.
I was proud and am still proud of her…. Beautiful lady
What a legend! It is sad that her family, like thousands of others, find it necessary to migrate to Australia, etc. And yet, she ended the interview, thinking of Malaysia. When, may I ask, can we be truly 1 Malaysian nation in thought and deed? . We must try.
@@Jeffrey2323 To me, her moving to Australia is like 'balik kampung'. Her siblings and biological father's family are there. Happy for her. 😊
Hi , I remember you as my PE teacher in TANJUNG BUNGAH,,,,at TANJUNG BUNGAH SEC. SCHOOL,,,,,WOW YOU STILL LOOK SO GOOD ,,,,

Yes ....year 70's....I admire her a lot..
Zaiton Othman also🥰🥰🥰💪💪💪
Her dad was australian n her mother was Chinese. Her biological parents r these . She schooled in vonvent sentul n lived in sentul railway govt quarters cos she was adopted by her biologicak mother sister n her chinese husband who worked in sentul railways.
After form five she was running after istiaq mubarak for a long time but eventually it did not work out . Then she married a punjabi
She was supposed to win the gold medal in 1977 sea games 400m hurdles..but she accidentally....i still remember how sad we are when she fell but manage to win silver,if I'm not wrong,but Jessica Lau still manage to give us the gold medal in the same event... datuk Marina kind of Carl Lewis back then...famous...

Hv oways3 admired her whn I myself was growing up.
She was a definite Class Act in sports. She is still a Class Act after all these years.
Syabas, Datuk Marina Chin.
Tq for the insights of your works, fmly life. Enjoyed this video
During my basic training at Pulapol used to see Datuk Marina, V. Angamah, Saik Ooi Kam & Zaitun Othman. Strong quartet. Semoga mereka sihat2 semuanya.
So Marina is hinting I am a grandparent? Yes, younger generation surely wouldn't know her. Haha. 😂 Marina was the most beautiful track queen that Malaysia ever had.
Enjoyed this ! Thanks
I know Marina Chin, as a pin up girl and as a teenage idol.
Marina Chin truly a legend
I knew her via TV telecast during the SEA Games 1977 and I was 10 years old at that time She won 2 gold medals and silver which she was very dissapointed because most of the fans and her coach think she can go for hatrick (win 3 gold medal straight)
Marina Chin, Saik Oik Kam, Gladys Chai, M Rajamani, V Angamah, Zaiton Othman, Mumtaz Jaafar (just name it a few) are the queen of athletics during the late 70s and early 80's of Malaysia sports era👍
Listening to her journey in sports especially running and her personal experiences in life...very inspiring even Im not her generation..I admire her courage and enthusistic...
Nice to see you in the video. I was a BIG FAN of yours during youth era in the 70s. Never missed any of the events you took part at Merdeka Stadium. Hope u remain healthy & conyr retirement with yr husband.
Yes, this country needs to be ONE MALAYSIA👏👏👏
I remember marina she represents malaysia sport wow I can't see change still look athletic and I was 18 before I left malaysia and now 44 years marina bring back a lot of fond memories. ❤

If I am not mistaken, her son(s) used to attend an English language centre in Sungai Ara, Penang, maybe back in 2013/2014. I was their teacher at the time. And I vaguely remember the boys talking about paintball. Only she can confirm this.
Saya wanita yang moden, bergaya dan bebas. Saya pakai Passola. Brings back memories.
Me & other Malaysian friends visited her home in Columbus, Ohio, US in early 1980s. She was studying there & living with fellow Malaysians..

This feedback is for the creators of the living history project. The errors in subtitling the words spoken, takes a lot of the impact out of the content. Hence for those who don't have a Malaysian background, they will not understand what was spoken
The most beautiful and famous Msian womens athlete in those days...
Dato' Marina Chin, Zaiton Osman, Mumtaz Begum
There of them Track Queen n very pretty too
Hi...Seen You Very Closely 1976 at Penang City Stadium... I'm In Scout Uniform Under Duty... Studying form 1...& You're Running 100M...I Still Remember You Won Gold... It's MSSM...Stay Blessed Ya...🤍👍
Still our darling....😊❤
❤
I like wordscape too.
Leagend remember that
Passola vespa girl,back in late 70s.
Marina you still pretty n sweet
Is her Chinese name 甄玲心 ？
It is disappointing to read the subtitles. If the names of the athletes cannot be typed correctly, it is a disgrace!
Auto generated subtitles lah...
3:19 wahhh...you gang rumah hijau ya? Saya gang rumah biru main takraw for my school - CHS, PJ...hehe 😁
Wasn’t she absolutely gorgeous.
Marina your youngers you were sweet n pretty until today
She went to Ohio State University, Columbus
…. Not forgetting how gorgeous u were😍😍😍
Marina Chin is more successful as an educator .Despite approaching compulsory retirement age, she continues giving her best by agreeing to extend her services on yearly basis and the government rewarded her with promotion just before she eventually retired which means she is getting higher pensions. Just another way the country remembering her services.
Alhamdulillah. Shes is a muslim. ❤❤
The subtitles are atrocious.
I wonder what mixed ancestry is she ??
Mengapa berckp dlm bah inggeris,inikan Malaysia Dato,sepatutnya Dato fasihbqhasq Malaysia.
It's people like you that failed Malaysia. If the reporter asked her in English, then, she has to reply in English. Don't be a racist.
Any problem... Or u needs subtitles?
She speaks fluent bahasa melayu
This interview was make in Australia. That's why Marina talks in English
Alahai alahai kenapa yea you tak faham bahasa inggeris ke cik ooi naak dia berbahasa melayu,,,,,😊
The beautiful lady of Malaysian sport.
dato ur has inspired the young athelete
❤
