Malaysia has a 27-medal aim from this game
Malaysia has set a goal to bring back 27 medals from the Hangzhou Asian Games taking place from 23 September to 8 October 2023.
However, the Sports Ministry did not reveal any gold medal target to avoid putting undue pressure on the national contingent.
Malaysia already “lost” 12 medals after some games did not make the programme for Hangzhou this time around.
Some of the excluded games include bowling and pencak silat.
