Fencers Muhammad Radhi Hasim, Yu Peng Kean and Liong Ming Chang outfoxed Vietnam's Vu Thanh An, Nguyen Van Quynh and To Van Hop 45-37 in sabre team event to clinch Malaysia's second gold from fencing.
National team manager Riduan Abdul said he was satisfied with the overall performance of the squad as it had surpassed the target set by the National Sports Council - one gold from an individual event.
"I am glad that we got another gold today after Joshua Koh delivered us the first gold in individual epee," he told Bernama at the close of the competition.
Earlier, the Malaysian trio beat Gian Carlo Nocom, Edmon Velez and Eric Brando Ii from the Philippines 45-33 in the semi-final while Vietnam beat Thailand 44-43.
The national fencing squad bagged two golds and five bronzes, outshining their previous best performance at the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games in 1989. - Bernama
