Malaysia surged past the 50-gold mark in the Indonesia Sea Games after winning six events yesterday.
There was no surprise gold though as Malaysians prevailed in events that the nation is known to be strong in.
Starting the day with 47 gold, the Malaysian contingent added six more to stay at fourth place overall in the medals table.
In the morning, wushu got Malaysia going by bagging two gold medals.
Kevan Cheah and Tai Cheau Xuen ensured Malaysia a steady supply of gold medals from the martial art sport by delivering a gold each in the men's and women's nandao-nangun combined event respectively.
While Kevan is another new talent emerging from the wushu stable, Cheau Xuen stole the limelight by dethroning her more illustrious compatriot Diana Bong.
Then it was the turn of the women's synchronised swimmers to sparkle with a double success.
Katrina Ann Abdul Hadi and Shareen Png Hui Chuen teamed up perfectly for the women's synchronised swimming gold.
The duo then joined forces with Tan May Mei, Mandy Yeap Mun Xin, Tasha Jane Taher Ali, Emanuelle Mah Thil Da, Ling Yeo Pei and Zyanne Lee Zhien Huey to win the free routine team gold.
In cycling, Malayia's Amir Mustafa Rusli, Harrif Salleh, Adiq Husainie Othman and Akmal Amrun became the " fantastic four" of the day when they won the team pursuit gold.
Adrian Ang won the most coveted medal in bowling when he captured the Men's Masters crown for his fourth gold medal of the Games.
Adrian's success underlined the superiority of the Malaysian team who had outclassed their rivals in almost all the events.
