The Commonwealth Games went to Asia for the first time in its 68-year history as the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur plays host to the event's 16th iteration held from 11 to 21 September 1998. Though these Games were taken place in the midst of the Asian financial crisis during that time, Malaysia has organized the event without a hitch.
Kuala Lumpur was elected to stage the Games during the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) General Assembly held in Barcelona, during the 1992 Olympics, having chosen over a bid from Adelaide, Australia in a 40-25 decision.

The Commonwealth Games went to Asia for the first time in its 68-year history as the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur plays host to the event's 16th iteration held from 11 to 21 September 1998. Though these Games were taken place in the midst of the Asian financial crisis during that time, Malaysia has organized the event without a hitch.
Kuala Lumpur was elected to stage the Games during the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) General Assembly held in Barcelona, during the 1992 Olympics, having chosen over a bid from Adelaide, Australia in a 40-25 decision.
For although this was the last Games of the millennium, it was in many ways, the first of its new era as Kuala Lumpur 1998 marked the debut of team sports at the event; cricket, field hockey, netball and rugby sevens were included in the most expansive sports programme ever seen at a Commonwealth Games. According to then-CGF chairman Arnaldo de Oliveira Sales, the inclusion of team sports was all part of a drive to give the Commonwealth Games a "more modern image at the turn of the century."
It soon became clear that the Kuala Lumpur Games would be undertaken with more teams and participants than ever before, as the event attracted 3,638 athletes from 70 Commonwealth member nations and territories. These 70 participating delegations include first-timers Kiribati and Tuvalu, as well as Mozambique and Cameroon - former colonies of Portugal and France respectively, both of which have admitted to the Commonwealth as member states in 1995 despite not having any historical link to Britain.
At their home turf, Malaysia had enjoyed its best Commonwealth Games performance in their history, finishing with 10 golds and 36 medals overall, which is good for a fourth-place finish. Australia came out as the overall winners with 198 medals - 80 of which were gold, finishing on top ahead of England with 36 golds, and Canada, which rounded up the top three with 30 gold medals.
