Indonesia, hosting the games in Palembang and Jakarta, have included 43 ports, offering 542 gold medals.
Since the games will be held at two main venues, the 650-member Malaysian contingent competing in 39 sports will be headed by two Chef-de-Missions - Datuk Naim Mohamad in Jakarta and Datuk Syed Mustaffa Syed Ali in Palembang.
Malaysia will be taking part in all sports except wrestling, traditional boat race, soft tennis and vovinam (self-defence art from Vietnam).
