The biggest regional event that we hosted was the 2017 SEA games.We did a good job according to local critics, became the champion with 145 gold as compared to 72 gold won by Thailand, but received s brickbat from the latter, accusing us of cheating and unexpected changes of venues and time for certain events.

All else is quite stable in Malaysia except for the meteoric rise in the cost of consumer goods,
believed to be triggered by the GST and the declining value of the ringgit. The GNP and Trade
figures of the country are on the rise but external debts keep increasing and the buying power of the ringgit seems to keep falling.

Such remarks had made many Malaysians very unhappy. That's all for now.
