2011 was yet another successful year for the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) and Malaysian Sports. The premier event of the year was the Indonesian 26th SEA Games held in Jakarta and Palembang from 11th to 22nd November 2011. The Malaysian Contingent won 59 gold medals, 50 silver medals and 82 bronze medals, to finish in fourth position based on gold medal tally.

The Malaysian Contingent participated in 39 out of the 43 sports. Out of these 39 sports, only 8 sports did not win any medal. 13 sports won gold, silver and bronze medals, 8 other sports won silver and bronze medals, while 10 sports won bronze medals only, making a total of 31 sports out of the 39 sports won medals.

While the overall medal tally was good, what was just as good, if not better was the outstanding performances of some of the Malaysian athletes, such as the Football team who retained the gold medal won two years ago in Vientiane, by defeating the home team, Indonesia, not once but twice, the Synchronize Swimming team who swept all 5 gold medals, the Divers and the Track Cyclists who won 7 gold medals in their respective sports, the bowlers, swimmers and others athletes.

The response to the Education Fund was overwhelming and within the first five months, RM251,050/= were received from friends and supporters of the late Tan Sri Alex Lee.
