Prof. Khoo presented two lectures on adapted physical activity and disability sports in Malaysia. One topic was \u201cNewspaper coverage of the Paralympic Games\u201d, which focused on the power of media reporting Paralympic Games and if the coverage of the Paralympic news may further influence the public attention or attitudes and perceptions of Paralympic Games. The other lecture focused on Special Olympics, Prof. Khoo introduced bibliometric analysis of Special Olympic Games, which showed us a particular view on understanding the development and the impacts of current research on Special Olympic Games.
