KUALA LUMPUR: The time has come for Malaysians to “Bangkit Bersama” (Rise Together) and throw their support behind the athletes representing the nation.

Hosting the 29th SEA Games after 16 years provides an opportunity to once again bring together all Malaysians under a common cause, said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who is the Malaysia Organising Committee chairman.
