Tan Sri Mohamed Al Amin Abdul Majid has declared that he has achieved his key performance indicators (KPI) as the Malaysian chef-de-mission (CDM) at the Rio Olympic Games here.

He said, at least the silver medal in waiting from mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying who made it to the badminton finals on Wednesday had improved on Malaysia's two medal haul at the 2012 London Olympics.

In London, Malaysia brought home a silver through badminton star Datuk Lee Chong Wei and a bronze from diving queen Pandelela Rinong.

At Rio, Pandelela and Cheong Jun Hoong last week clinched a silver medal, the first medal for Malaysia here, in the synchronised 10m Platform.

"We have improved on the medal colours and more than that would be a bonus," said Al Amin, who is also the acting president of the Badminton Association of Malaysia.

He was in a joyous mood at Pavilion 4, Riocentro here Monday after witnessing the mixed doubles pair make a giant leap into the final by disposing off Xu Chen-Ma Jin of China, the silver medallists in London, in 21-12, 21-19.

"Our pair were composed, cool and kept to their game plan. Indeed a final berth was a suprise but they were in fact earmarked to bring in a medal," he said.

He said Datuk Lee Chong Wei was another medal hopeful, a gold medal, while the men's doubles pair of Tan V. Shem-Tan Wee Kiong, who are in the semis, were also medal prospects.

"As I said before, there will be suprises and it's unfolding now," he said, adding that cyclist Azizulhasni Awang and Pandelela in the individual 10m Platform were the Games' tail end hopefuls.

The Rio Games is four just days away before it draws the curtain and Malaysia have yet to find the midas touch for the elusive gold medal.
