The day we soared at SEA Games


Najib, who was Deputy Prime Minister then, turns footballer in Pekan as he tries to beat Chini assemblyman Bakar Haron. He has always been a football fan.

THE 1989 SEA Games is simply unforgettable. Malaysian athletes soared on their own home turf by winning a whopping 200 medals (67-58-75) – the best medal haul in the SEA Games until then – to the delight of the fans from different walks of life.

Winning the medals was one thing but there were special moments, great breakthroughs and personal achievements too.
