BANGKOK, Dec 16 (Bernama) -- National trap shooter Ong Chee Keng ended Malaysia’s 32-year gold medal drought in the men’s trap individual event after clinching the gold medal at the 2025 South East Asian final at Photharam Shooting Range in Ratchaburi today.
The Sarawakian emerged as champion with a score of 39 in the six-man final, delivering Malaysia its first gold in the event since Heng Chai Yee achieved the feat at the 1993 SEA Games in Singapore.
Hagen Alexander Topacio of the Philippines settled for the silver medal with 38 points while Indonesia’s Andreas Yunus Boki claimed the bronze after posting 30 points.
Chee Keng had dominated the qualification round after amassing a total of 113 points to comfortably advance to the final.
The historic triumph marks a major milestone in Chee Keng’s career, surpassing his bronze medal finish at the 2019 SEA Games in Manila.
