Sharizan Shazali, known to be great backstroker, claimed 2 gold in his pet events. He was catching up pretty steadily in his breaststroke as he sliced off considerable time to a new PB of 1:11.86 in 100m breaststroke to win the silver and 32.57 in 50m breaststroke to snatch the bronze.

Comrade, Yap Min Shun also do not want to be left out as he won 1 gold and 1 bronze in his freestyle events.
