KUALA LUMPUR: Asian Games chef-de-mission (CDM) Datuk Danyal Balagopal Abdullah is taking a cautious approach when setting the initial gold medal target for the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea.

Danyal said as the CDM he does not want to be judgemental in setting the initial target for the Malaysian contingent bound for the Asian Games in September.

“My target is for every sport and athlete to achieve their personal best. We selected to represent the country in a major competition, they must perform better than before,” he said on Wednesday.

Danyal said he does not want to add unnecessary pressure on the athletes by setting the target early. He added that the initial medal target would be decided by the National Sports Associations (NSA) . — Bernama
