The exclusion of two national diving darlings, Datuk Pandelela Rinong and Nur Dhabitah Sabri, could put Malaysia in a dicey situation to conquer women’s events in the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia, this May.

National assistant coach Datuk Leong Mun Yee admitted that she was a little worried about the performance of the young divers in both events - women’s 3 metre (m) springboard and women’s 10m platform - at the biennial multisports games. “We should be worried about the emergence of Indonesian divers in the women’s 3m springboard because they did really well in the last SEA Games.
