 Asean Asean Asean – On the 15th day of the 31st Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, on the eve of the biennial Games’ finale, the national contingent added two more gold medals.

Thailand finished second with 90 gold, 102 silver, and 134 bronze medals, followed by Indonesia (68-90-80), the Philippines (50-69-101), and Singapore (47-46-73).

The badminton mixed pair Chen Tang Jie-Peck Yen Wei won Malaysia’s 38th gold medal, ending a 23-year wait for the title when they defeated compatriots Hoo Pang Ron-Cheah Yee See in the all-Malaysian final.

Ahmad Nor Iman Aliff Rakib, the national junior Muay Thai champion, also shone in his SEA Games debut, winning Malaysia’s 39th gold medal in the men’s under 54 kilogramme (kg) elite division.
