While one analyst says earlier spending and Sarawak’s contribution must be considered when assessing the SEA Games allocation, another warns that funding for both the Games and athlete development falls short of Malaysia’s sporting ambitions
The allocation includes RM240 million for preparations to host the 2027 SEA Games and Asean Para Games, RM460 million for national sports development and RM30 million for a sports matching grant
Funding will strengthen elite programmes, prepare for the 2027 SEA and Asean Para Games, and upgrade facilities while expanding support for para-athletes
