KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 — The Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) today said it would consult the Selangor government on the proposed postponement of the Malaysian Games (SUKMA) Selangor 2026, following a Royal address by Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah Alhaj.
“This is the Sultan’s message due to concern over the ongoing global energy crisis and its impact on the country’s economy, in addition to taking into account the need to wait for the (Shah Alam Sports Complex, KSSA) to be completed.
“In this regard, I will seek the views and feedback from the Selangor government as the host on this matter,” Youth and Sports Minister Mohammed Taufiq Johari said in a statement today.
He added that a special meeting of the SUKMA Supreme Committee will be held to discuss the matter, which will include representatives from all states, the National Sports Council (NSC), and the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM).
Earlier, Sultan Sharafuddin said SUKMA Selangor 2026 should be postponed until the crisis in West Asia is over and until the KSSA is completed.
SUKMA Selangor 2026 is scheduled for August 15 to 24, with Para SUKMA from September 5 to 14.
