This is the latest FIDE rating for the Malaysian Top 10 active chess players:-

#	Name	Title	Fed	Rating	G	B-Year
1	Chan, Nicholas	f	MAS	2403	8
2	Mas, Hafizulhelmi	m	MAS	2391	62
3	Lim, Yee-Weng	f	MAS	2376	8	1982

5	Long, Peter	f	MAS	2331	0	1961
6	Liew, Chee-Meng-Jimmy	m	MAS	2299	0	1958
7	Lim, Chuing Hoong Ronnie		MAS	2281	8	1983
8	Chin, F		MAS	2223	5
9	Zakaria, Fairin		MAS	2188	0
10	Leong, Mun Wan		MAS	2182	0

The speculated rating change is correct. FM Nicholas Chan crosses the 2400 rating and is also takes over the no 1 position from IM Mas Hafizulhelmi. Mas may have just broken the record for the most rated game for a Malaysian for a given rating period. 62 games in total!!

FM Mok Tze Meng overtakes FM Peter Long to take 4th place. It’s also surprising to see Francis Chin is still in the active list. He has 5 games rated recently.
