Malaysia’s performance at the SEA Games this year has come under scrutiny, given the poor ranking in the medal tally. Malaysia garnered 39 gold medals, three more than the target of 36, but this showing put Malaysia at 6th place out of the 11 countries competing in the Games. What does this achievement signal about sports development in the country? We discuss the issues at hand with Haresh Deol of online portal twentytwo13.my.
