Preparations
Shahrul Zaman Yahya was appointed as the chef-de-mission of the delegation on 25 September 2021 during the 198th Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) Executive Council meeting which was held on virtual basis.[3]
On 29 December 2021, the OCM Selection Committee under the Chairmanship of OCM President Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Norza Zakaria held a meeting to discuss the selection criteria for the 2022 Commonwealth Games and decided that:
- For Category A, athletes and teams will have to be in the top 4;
- For Category B, athletes and teams will have to be in the top 8 (reduced from top 16 due to tightened criteria); And,
- The Committee will utilise competitions from 2018 to May 2022, including 2021 Southeast Asian Games as basis for selection.[4]
On 14 June 2022, in a selection committee meeting, the OCM initially set a seven-gold medal target for the contingent and chose Bonnie Bunyau Gustin and Sivasangari Subramaniam as flag bearers.[5][6] However, Sivasangari had to withdraw after she was involved in a road accident. Aifa Azman was announced as Sivasangari's replacement.[7] The gold medal target for the contingent was reduced to six on 19 July 2022 after taking into consideration the personal records and current status of the national athletes.[8] The Malaysian delegation managed to win seven golds, eight silvers and eight bronzes, equalling the achievement of seven golds, five silvers and 12 bronzes at the 2018 edition and surpassing the six-gold target, as well as improving its position from 12th to 10th place.[9][10]
During the opening ceremony, the Malaysian delegation was represented by 40 athletes and officials wearing white five-button baju Melayu and short modern kebaya featuring the national flower - hibiscus with a hand-painted batik-like abstract interpretation by a local designer.[11]
Russel Taib and Gilbert Daim were the flag bearers at the closing ceremony.[12]
