00:06 Hi, Assalamualaikum. Welcome to Nadi Arena, Nadi Sukan Malaysia Akhbar.
00:10 I can finally smile.
00:11 That's right.
00:12 Because I've been having a heart attack since the afternoon. I can't rest.
00:15 What's the story?
00:16 It's about our racket for Sukan Siang.
00:18 That's right.
00:19 It's either squash or badminton.
00:21 Badminton is the most...
00:23 -Duked up. -Duked up.
00:25 Okay, the first report.
00:26 A day is enough to make the country's contingent in Sukan Asia go wild.
00:30 When on the 13th of June,
00:32 the Malaysian athletes won two gold, two silver and one bronze medals.
00:38 Yes, and Malaysia also surpassed the 27-point target
00:43 with a total of 28 points won this time.
00:47 And the winner of the national squash squad
00:51 who won two gold and one silver on the day of the competition.
00:55 The two gold medals were won by each in the men's and women's competition
01:00 by Siva Sanggari and Ng Yen Yau.
01:03 Siva Sanggari won the second gold.
01:07 All the sacrifices were finally paid for.
01:09 The hard work that was done was well worth it.
01:12 For those who don't believe it,
01:13 after being caught in the accident last June,
01:15 Siva Sanggari had to start from scratch.
01:18 You can't imagine that the gold will be his in Sukan Asia.
01:22 On the last day, Siva Sanggari won the bronze medal
01:25 from Hong Kong player Chan Shin-yook,
01:27 and the second gold in Sukan Asia.
01:30 And the winner of the Paralympic gold medal
01:33 is now replaced by Dato' Nicole David
01:35 to defend her gold since 2006.
01:38 I don't think I have any words to say at this point.
01:42 I'm just...
01:43 I'm very...
01:45 I would say I'm very proud of myself
01:47 of how I've came through in the finals today.
01:49 I've played Chan Shin-yook many times.
01:51 It has always been close.
01:53 I think the last time I played with her, I lost in five as well.
01:56 This time, it went to five again.
01:58 It was... The fifth set was...
02:00 To be honest, I don't know what I was thinking.
02:03 I don't even know how I made it, to be honest.
02:05 But I think, you know, I was down all the way.
02:08 All I told myself is, you know, you got to push yourself.
02:11 You know, it's...
02:12 You know, Asian Games is...
02:13 The next one is in, like, four years.
02:15 I was like, "Might as well I do it now
02:17 "or, like, it's never going to happen in, like, four years."
02:20 So I'm just really happy with my performance, actually. Yeah.
02:24 (INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)
02:26 (SPEAKING INDONESIAN)
02:29 (SPEAKING INDONESIAN)
02:57 Amazing.
02:58 I don't know. I still cannot believe it.
03:01 I mean, it was really hard.
03:03 To be honest, it was really hard today.
03:05 First game, second game.
03:07 It was really hard. I don't know how I did it.
03:10 I just had to stay calm, stay...
03:12 Stay calm on there and make sure I don't think too far.
03:15 Play one point at a time.
03:17 Make sure...
03:18 I know if it's hurting me, it's hurting him at the same time.
03:22 So I just had to stay confident.
03:24 I mean, yeah.
03:25 Again, I really was really enjoying it.
03:28 I don't know. I don't know. I still have no words for that.
03:32 Yeah, speechless at the moment. Just happy.
03:35 Yeah, I rasa all this wouldn't be possible
03:39 without all the support that I get.
03:41 I mean, at the end...
03:43 I felt like...
03:44 (SPEAKING INDONESIAN)
03:46 It's all the effort that everyone has put in.
03:50 I mean...
03:52 I don't think people realise or notice how much effort there is
03:57 for us to win one gold medal.
03:58 It's not from the athletes' play apart, but yes.
04:02 (SPEAKING INDONESIAN)
04:03 The whole team, it's a huge team effort to do it.
04:06 I mean, ISN staff, MSN staff, everyone, every night.
04:11 They're making sure I'm on track.
04:13 When I'm lost, they are there for me.
04:15 When I win, they are there for me.
04:17 So, Untuk Sayi, it's not about myself.
04:19 It's about the country, it's about all the staff that's behind me.
04:22 And today, this is for them.
04:24 This is for all the people who's behind me,
04:26 for everyone back home, for the country.
04:29 I'm just here playing a small part.
