Belait are in second with 23 gold, 17 silver and 10 bronze medals while defending champions Brunei-Muara are in third with their medal haul of 22 gold, 32 silver and 33 bronze medals.
Belait collected one of their gold medals yesterday through basketball. Yeo Chun Kiat turned up the heat late in the game to lift Belait to the basketball title with a 90-85 overtime victory over Brunei-Muara at the Brunei Basketball Association (BBA) court in Batu Bersurat last night.
The basketball gold could very well help them stick to the runners-up spot at the end of the June 11-18 tournament.
Yeo finished with a total of 13 points with 11 of those coming in the last 10 minutes of the game to erase a 13-point deficit at the beginning of the fourth period.
