More than 1,000 people gathered at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) this afternoon to welcome the Malaysian athletes who participated in the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Also present was Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, his wife Rosmah Mansor and several cabinet ministers.
Prior to their arrival at the Bunga Raya Complex, national shuttler Tan Wee Kiong’s brother, Yun Ying, 15, told Malaysiakini that he could not wait to give his brother a hug and congratulate him.
“I know he did his best and our family is proud of him,” he said.
Tan and Goh V Shem won silver in the men’s badminton doubles.
The crowd, some of whom came with flowers and placards, also chanted the names of the Olympians, including that of badminton ace Lee Chong Wei.
