KUALA LUMPUR, March 3 (Bernama) -- The names of silat exponents representing the country in the Belgium Open Championship in April will be announced on March 15.
National Silat Federation (Pesaka) Secretary-General Megat Zulkarnain Omar Din said 20 names were approved recently but these needed further perusal. He said although they were new faces the group was expected to do well.
"They need international exposure so that they can face the challenge in the 22nd SEA Games in Vietnam this December. That's why we choose them," he told Bernama today.
Malaysia would participate in all 21 silat categories at the 22nd SEA Games.
At the 21st SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia won five gold medals, one silver and four bronze while Indonesia dominated the event with nine gold medals, six silver, and five bronze. Vietnam, as the host, won six gold medals, five silver and seven bronze.
