At the 1999 Southeast Asian Games in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, Manggang powered home with two gold medals each in the 400 m freestyle (4:00.34) and 1500 m freestyle (15:57.47).[2][3]

Manggang competed in a long-distance freestyle double at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. After claiming two titles from the SEA Games, his entry times of 4:00.34 (400 m freestyle) and 15:57.47 (1500 m freestyle) were accredited under a FINA B-standard.[4][5] On the first day of the Games, Manggang placed forty-third in the 400 m freestyle. Swimming in heat two, he rounded out the field to last place in 4:03.77, more than three seconds off his entry time.[6][7] Nearly a week later, in the 1500 m freestyle, Manggang challenged five other swimmers in the same heat, including 18-year-old Jonathan Duncan of New Zealand. He held off Duncan by more than half the body length to take a third spot and thirty-sixth overall in a time of 16:02.11.[8]

When his nation Malaysia hosted the 2001 Southeast Asian Games in Kuala Lumpur, Manggang won a total of three bronze medals each in the 200 m butterfly (2:05.70), 400 m freestyle (4:00.12), and 1500 m freestyle (15:55.73).[9][10][11]
