Malaysia cannot afford another SEA Games slip-up in Thailand | Timesport On The Beat

from Timesport On The Beat · host Audio+

Malaysia’s countdown to the 2025 SEA Games comes with a harsh reality check as sports critic Datuk Dr Pekan Ramli warned that the nation could no longer afford another slip-up. After finishing seventh in the 2023 Phnom Penh edition, he insisted Malaysia must target at least fourth place in Thailand — or risk further embarrassment ahead of hosting duties in 2027. In this episode of Timesport: On the Beat, Pekan pulled no punches, calling out “colourless medal” goals, inconsistent athlete selection, and complacency.
