17 Jan 2001 THE STAR Malaysian Newspapers: SEA Games No more appeals as KL SEA Games panel shut the doors KUALA LUMPUR: Two additional events--the women's mistral one boardsailing, lightweight, in yachting and the women's up to 69kg category in weightlifting--have been included to the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games' programme. They were included in the Games following appeals made by Indonesia and Myanmar at the SEA Games Federation (SGF) meeting last Saturday. The addition of the two events takes the number of gold medals at stake in the 32-sport Games, which will be held from Sept 8-17, to 390. Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein said that they would not entertain requests for any more events. "This is final. There is no room for the inclusion of further events in the Games,'' said Hishammuddin after the SEA Games organising committee's board meeting at his office yesterday. He added that the sports associations had major roles to play in ensuring the success and smooth-running of the Games. "We need the assistance of all parties concerned, including sports associations, to make the Games a successful one,'' said Hishammuddin. Meanwhile, a decision will be made next week on the venue of the shooting competitions. The two venues shortlisted are the Subang Shooting Range and the Langkawi International Shooting Range.
