History

In March 2017, Malaysia's national team competed in the 2017 SBL pre-season blitz in Perth, Western Australia.[3]

In August 2017, Malaysia defended gold after beating Thailand 65-60 in the 2017 SEA Games women's basketball match at the MABA Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. Yoong Sze Yuin's squad, which won its five previous games, started the game a little slow and trailed 12-26 in the first quarter but later managed to reduce the points gap in the second quarter to 35-39. The line-up of national players led by Nur Izzati Yaakob finished the game 65-60 in the fourth quarter. This win was the basketball squad’s 14th gold medal during the SEA Games since it was first competed in 1977. Yoong Sze Yuin had won the Singapore SEA Games two years ago, too.[4]
