NEW CLARK CITY , Dec 8 — Andre Anura Anuar broke the national record in men’s long jump yesterday but it was not good enough for gold, leaving Malaysia with just two silver and two bronze medals on the opening day of the 30th SEA Games athletics competition here. His effort yesterday was also better than his personal best of 7.90m recorded at the Berwang Open athletics championship in Kota Kinabalu on November 2 this year, which failed to be counted as a national record because it was aided by a tailwind of more than 2.0 metres per second.
National hammer throw record holder Jackie Wong Siew Cheer gave Malaysia their second silver when he hurled the iron ball 63.83m while teammate Sadat Marzuki Ajisan finished fourth among seven participants with a throw of 57.35m.
