SEA GAMES 2011 Target

When Malaysia achieved 55 gold medal in 1997 SEA GAMES in Jakarta, it was the best performance outside Malaysia, then.

The best performance outside Malaysia, so far is 68gold medals at 2007 Bangkok Games. But now, for 2011 Games, the target is only 40-45 by our Minister and it contradicts with MOM's target of 60.

First of all, why can't we target higher? It would be good if they can give solid reason for such kind of targets. It could be because, some of the games which Malaysia it not participating are the non-Olympic Sports i.e fin swimming, muay thai, shuttlecock kicking, petaunque.

Nest, just because, Lee Chong Wei is not playing doesnt mean, the entire Malaysian squad is not able to perform.

It's Olympic year next year, and we need to proof if the Road to London athletes are really performing.
