SHAH ALAM, July 21 — All venues for the Malaysian Games (SUKMA) Selangor 2026 are ready, with organisers only needing to put finishing touches and perform minor repairs before the tournament kicks of next month, said SUKMA Secretariat chief executive officer Datuk Yazid Sairi.

“We are only performing finishing works or improvement touches before (the venues are ready),” he said when met by Media Selangor after the launch of the Klang Royal City Council (MBDK) Hockey Stadium today.
