PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s top long-distance swimmer Kevin Yap has never won a SEA Games gold medal in the 1,500m freestyle in three attempts.

He finished second all three times – to Ryan Arabejo of the Philippines in the 2009 Laos Games; to Teo Zhen Ren of Singapore in the 2011 Indonesian Games; and to Vietnam’s Lam Quang Nhat in the 2013 Myanmar Games.
