Megat Zulkarnain said he received the letter of appointment from the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) a few days ago and it was endorsed by the National Sports Council (NSC).
“This is not only an honour to me but also to the silat community. It was something unexpected,” he told reporters after attending a meeting of team managers for the Myanmar SEA Games here Thursday. Megat Zulkarnain said the NSC would hold a meeting with team managers for the ISG on Tuesday.
OCM secretary-general Datuk Sieh Kok Chi had said that Malaysia would send 112 athletes and officials to take part in 13 events at the ISG. Malaysia finished seventh after winning five golds, five silvers and six bronzes at the inaugural ISG in Saudi Arabia.
