Malaysia competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics, held in Beijing, People's Republic of China. Malaysia had 32 athletes who took part in ten sports in the games. Lee Chong Wei won the nation's first medal in twelve years in the badminton men's singles final despite losing to Lin Dan, from the host country China. It was the second silver medal ever won throughout Malaysia's participation history since its nationhood in 1957. Hockey legend Dato Ho Koh Chye was the chef-de-mission of the delegation.[1]
