It is said that the mousedeer is a native animal in Malaysia locally known as pelanduk or kancil which is shy, but very agile and quick thinking. It is a favourite character in local folktales commonly known as "Sang Kancil", noted for its intelligence, wit, cunning feints and quick reaction to escape from all kinds of danger, especially from its enemies. The adoption of mousedeer as the games' mascot is to represent the courage of the Paralympic athletes in overcoming challenges and the odds. The name of the mascot, Ujang is a common nickname for local Malay youths.http://www.asianyouthparagamesmalaysia2013.org.my/aypgm2013/default.asp?mAction=new&where=aypgm2013&mnaction=mascot Mascot bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20140303132617/http://www.asianyouthparagamesmalaysia2013.org.my/aypgm2013/default.asp?mAction=new&where=aypgm2013&mnaction=mascot 2014-03-03 The games Participating nations 22em BRN 2009 Asian Youth Para Games BRU 2009 Asian Youth Para Games CHN 2009 Asian Youth Para Games HKG 2009 Asian Youth Para Games INA 2009 Asian Youth Para Games IRI 2009 Asian Youth Para Games IRQ 2009 Asian Youth Para Games JOR 2009 Asian Youth Para Games JPN 2013 Asian Youth Para Games KAZ 2009 Asian Youth Para Games KOR 2009 Asian Youth Para Games KSA 2009 Asian Youth Para Games MAS 2009 Asian Youth Para Games MAC 2009 Asian Youth Para Games MGL 2009 Asian Youth Para Games MYA 2013 Asian Youth Para Games PAK 2009 Asian Youth Para Games PHI 2009 Asian Youth Para Games PRK 2009 Asian Youth Para Games SIN 2009 Asian Youth Para Games SRI 2009 Asian Youth Para Games SYR 2009 Asian Youth Para Games QAT 2009 Asian Youth Para Games (x) TPE 2008 Asian Youth Para Games TJK 2009 Asian Youth Para Games (x) THA 2009 Asian Youth Para Games UAE 2009 Asian Youth Para Games UZB 2009 Asian Youth Para Games VIE 2009 Asian Youth Para Games Sports 22em 20px Archery 20px Athletics 20px Badminton 20px Boccia 20px Chess 20px Goalball 20px Judo 20px Powerlifting 20px Swimming 20px Table tennis 20px Bowling 20px Sitting volleyball 20px Wheelchair tennis 20px Wheelchair basketball Medal table http://results.aypg2013.com.my/medaltally/default.asp?x=1&p=o Medal table bot: unknown https://web.archive.org/web/20131030215412/http://results.aypg2013.com.my/medaltally/default.asp?x=1&p=o 2013-10-30 MAS flagIOC2team 2013 Asian Youth Para Games 39 20 25 27 13 19 25 8 5 19 22 18 yes 16 11 9 16 4 3 15 14 7 15 10 7 12 15 12 11 7 6 8 5 5 8 4 3 6 4 2 4 5 2 4 3 0 3 4 4 3 2 0 1 1 5 1 1 3 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 3 1 0 3 0 0 2 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 References External links 2013 Asian Youth Para Games official website Asian Youth Para GamesKuala Lumpur Tokyo Dubai II Asian Youth Para Games (2013) Category:Asian Youth Para Games Category:2013 in Asian sport Asian Youth Para Games Asian Youth Para Games Category:Multi-sport events in Malaysia Category:International sports competitions hosted by Malaysia Category:2013 in youth sport Category:2010s in Kuala Lumpur
