Malaysian contingent reports smooth Asiad experience
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian athletes and officials have reported no major problems with accommodation, food or transport at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games despite reports of difficulties faced by some other contingents.
Malaysian athletes and officials have shared that their experience at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games was trouble-free, despite some other teams facing issues with accommodation, food, and transportation. National women's cricket team manager V. Vijayalingam expressed satisfaction with the hosts, praising the Toyota Sports Centre and the quality of food and accommodation.
Vijayalingam joked that if the team had curry, it would be even better. The cricket team's campaign ended with a loss to Sri Lanka in the quarter-finals, and they are scheduled to return home on Sunday. National modern pentathlon coach Nik Lini Hayati Nik Kazem echoed similar positive feedback regarding the team's comfort and satisfactory food arrangements.
The national women's hockey team manager, Rogayah Mohamad, also confirmed that her team had faced no problems, despite the hotel being far from the competition venue. The Malaysian contingent had prepared enhanced Standard Operating Procedures to mitigate any potential disruptions, including e-hailing services and ready-to-eat meals, should the host's arrangements fall short.
