The '''1963 [[Southeast Asian Peninsular Games]]''' was cancelled, as the designated host [[Cambodia]] was not able to host the event due to unsettling in-country conditions, and a disagreement with the [[International Amateur Athletic Federation]]. The 3rd SEAP Games then passed to [[Laos]] as hosts, but they begged off the 1965 event citing financial difficulties and would later known to have hosted the [[2009 Southeast Asian Games]] decades later. Fortunately though, [[Malaysia]] stepped in. The [[1965 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games]] was held in [[Kuala Lumpur]] with around 1,300 athletes and officials taking part. By then, the SEAP Games Federation had gained another member which is [[Singapore]] after [[Singapore in Malaysia|separated from Malaysia]] in August that year.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of the SEA Games|url=http://www.olympic.org.my/web/gamesrecords/sea/sea_history.htm|work=www.olympic.org.my|accessdate=26 February 2013}}</ref>
