BANGKOK: Malaysia’s young 4x100m quartet announced themselves as the nation’s hope for the future, winning the silver medal and shattering the national record at the Supachalasai Stadium.

Even with three new faces, Malaysia powered to second place in 38.03s, obliterating the previous national mark of 39.09s and finishing only behind hosts Thailand, who rode the brilliance of sprint king Puripol Boonson to gold in a Games-record 38.28s.
