Sea Games: Malaysia in rhythm for two dancesports gold

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia believes it is in rhythm to do well in dancesports, and eyeing two gold in breakdancing.

However, the Malaysian Dancesport Federation (MDF) is keeping a low profile as it does not want to put its athletes under pressure.

Jee Lek is in good form, having come out tops earlier this year in an international breakdancing competition.

If all goes well, Malaysia can achieve a golden double at the dance floor in Phnom Penh.
