NATIONAL karate exponent R. Sharmendran has been given the honour of carrying the Jalur Gemilang at the 2023 SEA Games opening ceremony at the Morodok Techo National Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia on May 5.
Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) president Mohamad Norza Zakaria said one of the reasons it had chosen Sharmendran to be the flag bearer is because he has the prospects of winning a gold medal.
