By LIM TEIK HUAT

Tan Cheong Min won two golds in wushu.

PETALING JAYA: Next year’s SEA Games hosts Thailand have had a change of heart and it’s good news for Malaysia.

The hosts initially dropped karate, wushu, jiu-jitsu, lawn bowls and weightlifting from their 40-sport programme for the 33rd edition of the biennial Games due to be held in Bangkok, Chonburi, and Songkhla from Dec 9-20.
