Ever since the first modern Olympics was held in 1896 in Athens, it has only been disrupted three times before.
The first time it happened was in 1916 due to the First World War, and then during the Second World War in 1940 and 1944, when they were cancelled altogether.
Despite this postponement, the upcoming games will still be referred to by their original name for marketing purposes, and will show "Tokyo 2020" on all of the winning medals.
Since the nation's official debut in 1956 under the name Malaya, Malaysian athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the United States-led boycott.
“Make the country proud! May your success be an inspiration to us all!” said DrKKJohan on behalf of The BrandLaureate.
