KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27 (Bernama) -- Malaysia is proud of the fighting spirit of all its para athletes, who moved the country up to third overall at the ASEAN Para Games (APG) Thailand 2025, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister was also moved by the determination of the para athletes in pursuing their dreams without ever allowing limitations to become an excuse.
“My highest appreciation goes to all the country’s para athletes who have brought honour to Malaysia at the ASEAN Para Games (APG) Thailand 2025, which officially concluded yesterday.
“Thank you for reminding us all of the true meaning of effort, discipline and self-confidence. Congratulations, national heroes!” the Prime Minister said in a Facebook post today.
The national contingent closed the Games with a total haul of 201 medals, comprising 64 golds, 64 silvers and 73 bronzes across 17 sports, surpassing the pre-Games targets of 55 golds and 181 medals.
Malaysia moved up one spot to third place overall amid an increasingly open and competitive landscape now dominated by Thailand as overall champions with 486 medals (175-155-156), followed by Indonesia in second place with 392 medals (135-143-114).
