We’ve picked up our 4th Asian Games gold medal!
This is after our Sepak Takraw team beat defending champions Thailand 2-0 in the team regu final.
Their triumph also ended Malaysia’s 36 year wait for a gold medal in the event.
Our last victory was back at the 1990 Games in Beijing.
This takes our overall gold medals tally to 4, meaning we just need two more to reaching our target.
We also have 1 silver and 5 bronze medals.
