Well, there's this-
"Suryani qualified for the Games at the Asian Shooting Championships in January, days after finding out she was pregnant"
There's also the fact that it's something she's extremely passionate about and has trained many years for, as is the case with most folks who participate in the Olympics.
And before we rush further into judgment there's this-
"Her doctors have given her the tentative OK to compete, as has her husband and Malaysian Olympic officials."
Also, why are we assuming she wants to leave Malaysia?
What do you even know about Malaysia?
It's an extremely ethnocentric view to believe people in other countries desperately want to escape their homeland, she could be perfectly happy in Malaysia.

She's a competitive athelete who worked for her entire life to get to and compete in the Olympics.
She just wants to compete, what she worked her entire life for.
Nothing more then that.
