The Selangor state government has allocated just RM 8 million towards athletesā€™ development and preparations for the 21st SUKMA (Malaysia Games) which Sarawak will host later this year.

The 21st edition of the SUKMA will see Sarawak hosting the event on 17-24 August 2024.

With Selangor aiming to send 1,138 athletes to take part in all 37 sports, the announcement of a budget of just RM8 million is well below the host and several other states.

Sabah have allocated RM27.2 million, Sarawak RM23.1 million and Terengganu RM20 million.
