KUALA LUMPUR, April 27 — The Malaysian contingent will be gunning for 36 gold, 35 silver and 75 bronze medals at the Hanoi SEA Games from May 12-23.
“Based on current performance, we can also strike gold through taekwondo, wushu, petanque, pencak silat, bodybuilding and several other sports. We found out that more than 58 per cent of the athletes are set to compete in their maiden SEA Games. Ahmad Faizal also admitted that, with the 36-gold target, the national contingent would not be able to vie for the top-three overall position at the Games.
“Apart from that, a total of 22 sports like sailing, equestrian, hockey, rugby and waterskiing which usually contributed medals at the SEA Games will also not be contested this time, thus resulting in us lowering our medal target.
