I recall the XIV Commonwealth Games held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in the year 1998

India is currently hosting the XIX Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, I recalled my country Malaysia hosted the XIV Games in Kuala Lumpur in the year 1998. A series of postcards depicting various sports and games were issued by the authorised souvenir agents bearing the 1998 Games logo and the Mascot - Orang Utan. These postcards had been very useful for me to utilise to create several MCs for these years on relevant topics on sports events.
