=== Opening ceremony ===
The 16th Commonwealth Games opening ceremony took place on 11 September 1998 at 20:00 MST (UTC+08:00). During the ceremony, approximately 4,840 [[Soka Gakkai International|Soka Gakkai Malaysia]] volunteers displayed coloured flip cards which depicted sporting images, flags of the Commonwealth nations and messages that heralded the first games in Asia in the 68 years since their inception. The ceremony was preceded by a pre-show concert by Malaysian pop singers such as [[Noraniza Idris]], [[Jamal Abdillah]], Amy Search, Saleem, [[Zamani Ibrahim|Zamani]], [[Ella (Malaysian singer)|Ella]], [[Anuar Zain]], [[Ziana Zain]], [[Sheila Majid]], [[Amy Mastura]], [[Ning Baizura]] and [[Siti Nurhaliza]], performance by local comedian [[Harith Iskander]] and 16 paratroopers who descended down the stadium.

The ceremony began with the arrival of dignitaries including the Chairman of Commonwealth Games Federation [[Michael Fennel]], [[Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh|Prince Edward]], Sultan of Brunei [[Hassanal Bolkiah]], Prime Minister [[Mahathir Mohamad]], the Yang Dipertuan Agong and Malaysian minister of Youth and Sports [[Muhyiddin Yassin]]. This was followed by the parade of nations — 69 participating nations, led by mascot Wira and previous games' mascots ([[Canada]] being the first country to come into the stadium as host country of the [[1994 Commonwealth Games|previous games]], and Malaysia entering last as hosts).The Singaporean delegation was jeered by the crowd during the parade of nations.<ref>{{cite news|title=Opening ceremonies were as good as they get|first=Terry|last=Jones|newspaper=[[Edmonton Sun]]|date=12 September 1998}}</ref>
Then came a performance about a Malaysian rainforest by 2,000 school children who dressed as birds, bees and flowers.<ref name="Opening, closing programmes">{{cite web|url=http://commonwealthgames98.com/opcl/opcl.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161016092031/http://commonwealthgames98.com/opcl/opcl.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-10-16|title=Opening, closing programmes}}</ref>

Contrary to tradition, the games were officially opened by the Malaysian head of stage, Yang di Pertuan Agong [[Ja'afar of Negeri Sembilan|Tuanku Jaafar]] by striking the gong three times. A burst of fireworks and blurring of the giant bunga raya and a 16-gun salute which represents 1998 Commonwealth Games being the 16th-edition games, signified the beginning of the games.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=1998&dt=0912&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=fp_01.htm|title=1998 Commonwealth Games gloriously officiated|access-date=27 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127144311/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=1998&dt=0912&pub=Utusan_Malaysia&sec=Muka_Hadapan&pg=fp_01.htm|archive-date=27 January 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sgm.org.my/en/?cur=page/page&id=156&title=XVI_Commonwealth_Games|title=XVI Commonwealth Games &#124; Soka Gakkai Malaysia (SGM)|website=www.sgm.org.my}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=1998&dt=0912&pub=Utusan_Express&sec=Front_Page&pg=fp_01.htm|title=Glittering Ceremony Marks Commonwealth Games Opening|access-date=4 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180405031154/http://ww1.utusan.com.my/utusan/info.asp?y=1998&dt=0912&pub=Utusan_Express&sec=Front_Page&pg=fp_01.htm|archive-date=5 April 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Commonwealth Games flag was then brought into the stadium raised to the theme song of the Games ''Forever As One'' written by local composer, Goh Boon Hoe.

== Sports overview ==
The host nation achieved its best-ever haul of ten gold medals which has since been surpassed by its achievement in the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]], where Malaysia won twelve gold medals.

This is an edition marked by several unprecedented facts in the history of the Commonwealth Games. Not only because it is the first in Asia and the first that was not opened by a member of the royal family.And taking advantage of these factors, the Commonwealth Games Federation decided in [[1994 Commonwealth Games|1994]] that from this edition onwards, team sports could enter the Games program.As a result, the number of sports played rose from 10 to 16.The case studies determined that three team sports were eligible to become mandatory: [[field hockey]] (men and women), [[netball]] (women) and [[rugby 7's]] (men). Adding to aquatics ([[swimming (sport)|swimming]]) ([[sport of athletics|athletics]]), [[amateur boxing|boxing]], [[badminton]], [[cycle sport|cycling]] ([[road bicycle racing|road]]), [[Olympic weightlifting|weightlifting]], and [[lawn bowls]] as compulsory sports. As decided also in 1994, the Organizing Committee could choose up to six sports from a list previously approved by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) and which reflect their respective popularity in the organizing country. And they were the following: aquatics ([[synchronized swimming]] and [[diving (sport)|diving]]), [[cricket]], cycling ([[track cycling|track]]), gymnastics ([[Artistic gymnastics|artistic]] and [[Rhythmic gymnastics|rhythmic]]), and [[shooting sports]]. Another spot was reserved for [[squash (sport)|squash]], which was an evaluation sport and could become mandatory in the next edition. There was still a spot for a local sport and the organizers chose [[ten-pin bowling]] because of the local infrastructure. Which was included as an extra sport because of its popularity in the country and also because of infrastructure spending. However, there was some controversy surrounding the removal of wrestling that had been present in all previous editions because of its low popularity in Malaysia.<ref name="ontour2001.tripod.com">{{cite web|url=http://ontour2001.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfiles/MANCHESTER2002BIDBOOK.pdf|author=Manchester 2002|title=Manchester 2002 Bid Book}}{{Dead link|date=April 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

In front of 20,000 fans at the [[Petaling Jaya Stadium]], rugby sevens in particular were an enormous success with New Zealand collecting its 100th [[Commonwealth Games]] medal with a 21–12 win over plucky [[Fiji]], (the reigning world champions). Man of the match was the giant [[Jonah Lomu]] who had worked tirelessly during the 10-minutes-each-way final. Led by veteran star [[David Campese]], Australia took the bronze beating [[Samoa]] 33–12.
In the squash event many had anticipated a close match between [[Michelle Martin]] and [[Sarah Fitz-Gerald]] who had both comfortably won their respective semi-finals. Fitz-Gerald had won the previous two years' [[World Squash Championships|World Opens]] and Martin the three prior to that and so it was with some surprise to many that Martin took the gold in three straight sets 9–0, 9–6, 9–5. Fitz-Gerald did avenge this defeat in the final of the world championship later that year, in what many people regard as the greatest women's final ever, coming back from 8–2 down in the fifth to retain her title.<br />Martin also teamed up with [[Craig Rowland]] to take the Commonwealth mixed doubles gold.
[[Erika-Leigh Stirton]] took five of the six available gold medals in the [[rhythmic gymnastics]] only being beaten into second place in the team event in the hosts took gold.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thecgf.com/games/games_index.asp|title=Past Commonwealth Games|publisher=[[Commonwealth Games Federation|CGF]]|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130215184607/http://www.thecgf.com/games/games_index.asp|archive-date=15 February 2013|access-date=3 October 2012|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://realtormarina.livejournal.com/11916.html|title=Successful People from Our Neighborhood - Erika-Leigh Howard (Stirton) - Rhythmic Gymnast.|date=6 August 2013}}</ref>

== Medal table ==
Only the top ten successful nations are displayed here.

The ranking in this table is consistent with [[International Olympic Committee]] convention in its published medal tables. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won (in this context, a "nation" is an entity represented by a [[Commonwealth Games Association]]). The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If nations are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their three-letter country code.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kl98.com.my:80/results/default.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990504200443/http://www.kl98.com.my/results/default.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 May 1999|title=Results|access-date=22 February 2019|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sadec.com:80/Kl98/medal.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051222024115/http://www.sadec.com/Kl98/medal.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=22 December 2005|title=Medal|access-date=22 February 2019|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

== Marketing ==

=== Logo ===
[[File:1998 Commonwealth Games Mascot.gif|thumb|right|''Wira'', the orangutan, the official mascot of the games.]]
The logo of the 1998 Commonwealth Games is an image of the [[national flower]] of Malaysia, the [[hibiscus]] (the ''[[bunga raya]]''), the first games logo to introduce the colour yellow. (All previous logos had been red, white and blue to reflect the colours of the British [[Union Jack|Union Flag]].) The red, blue, white and yellow colours represents the colours of the Malaysian national flag and Malaysia as a confident, young, dynamic nation. The yellow pollens represent the six regions of the world that includes the 68 Commonwealth member nations.

===Mascot===
The official mascot of the 1998 Commonwealth Games is an [[orangutan]] named ''Wira'' (Malay for "warrior" or "hero"). It is said that the orangutan is the largest and probably the most intelligent primate in Asia which lives in the tropical rainforests of Malaysia. The adoption of orangutan as a games' mascot is to represent the friendly personality of Malaysia as the games' host as well as the charm, intelligence, and sporting ability of the participating athletes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://kl98.thecgf.com/gamesop/default.html|title=Games Operation|work=Official website}}</ref>

=== Sponsors ===
A total of 55 companies and organisations sponsored the games, including Malaysian state-owned enterprises.
