19. 68 Golds for Malaysia

KORAT, Dec 15 (Bernama): The Malaysian contingent ended their Korat SEA Games campaign on a high with 68 gold medals to finish second overall behind host Thailand who finished at the top with 183 gold medals.

Malaysia's best ever performance was when the 2001 Games was hosted in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia emerged overall champion with 111 gold, 75 silver and 85 bronze and the second best performance before this (67) was also when Kuala Lumpur hosted the Games in 1989. More...

Syabas and Tahniah to the Malaysian Contingent. And over to Vientiane (Laos) in 2009.
