The final medal tally was led by Thailand, followed by host Malaysia and Vietnam. Several Games and National records were broken during the games. The games were deemed generally successful with the effective cost spent to host the games and arrangement of public transport, commitment in environment conservation and with the rising standard of disabled sports competition amongst the Southeast Asian nations. Host city The 5th ASEAN Para Games was originally scheduled for Laos in January 2010, but Laos begged off from hosting the games due to financial constraints and inexperience in providing disability-accessible venue adaptations for disabled athletes. Hence, the 5th ASEAN Para Games was instead held five months ahead of the Laos 2009 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 15 to 19 August 2009, featuring 409 events in 11 sports.http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v3/printable.php?id=432561 Asean Para Games Set To Be A Smash Despite H1N1 Bernama 13 August 2009http://mpm.syaf.net/2009/08/13/kl09-5th-asean-para-games/ KL'09 5th ASEAN Para Games 13 August 2009 Paralympic Council of Malaysia dead https://web.archive.org/web/20160701043827/http://mpm.syaf.net/2009/08/13/kl09-5th-asean-para-games/ 1 July 2016 Development and preparation The Kuala Lumpur Asean Para Games Organising Committee (KLAPGOC) was formed to oversee the staging of the event.http://www.aseanparagameskl09.org.my/news/cheif_de_mission.asp https://web.archive.org/web/20090913053204/http://www.aseanparagameskl09.org.my/news/cheif_de_mission.asp Chief de Mission Preliminary Meeting 13 September 2009 Venues The 5th ASEAN Para Games had 11 venues for the games. 9 in Kuala Lumpur and 1 each in Selangor and Negeri Sembilan respectively.
