The country has hosted the games four times; in 1981, 1991, 2005, and 2019.[1] The country's best finish at the games happened twice, both of them which they hosted: in 2005 finishing as overall champions of the games with Thailand and Vietnam finishing second and third in the overall medal standings.[2][3] and in 2019 in which they beat their own 2005 medal record.[4] Their best finish in the games, excluding editions hosted by the Philippines, was at the 1983 edition where they finish second behind Indonesia.[1]
