ndonesia collected three gold medals on the second day of the pencaksilat finals at the Zayar Thiri Indoor Stadium, Naypyitaw, Myanmar,on Saturday.
The gold medals were won by Dewa Ayu Ari Partiwi in the women's artistic singles, Gusti Ngurah Arya Yuda in the men's artistic singles final and the third gold was won in the men's artistic team event.
