Selangor ready to host your next big championship, MB Amirudin tells the world

SHAH ALAM, Oct 31 — The Selangor government is ready to make its high-standard sports facilities available to other countries seeking to host regional or international championships, said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

He said the initiative was in line with Selangor’s existing capabilities, given its wide range of upgraded sports facilities and reputation as a preferred destination for major international sporting events, including the SEA Games.

“Our challenge lies in how we can make the best use of these well-maintained facilities to enhance our athletes’ capabilities and prepare them for future competitions,” he said at the Sanjungan Budi event for the 22nd Malaysia Games (Sukma) and Para Sukma Selangor 2026 at Dewan Raja Muda Musa here last night.

Also present were Selangor Youth, Sports and Entrepreneurship Executive Committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi and 22nd Sukma and Para Sukma Selangor 2026 Secretariat chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Yazid Sairi.

On the recent hosting of the Sukma and Para Sukma Games, Amirudin said Selangor had the advantage of not needing to build new sports facilities, having instead channelled nearly RM100 million into upgrading existing venues in collaboration with local authorities and the private sector.

“We are also grateful to the private sector for its contributions towards upgrading and maintaining its own facilities, which helped ensure the smooth running of the Sukma and Para Sukma Games,” he said.

Amirudin said the upgrading of competition venues and active involvement of various stakeholders were key factors in the successful staging of the biennial Games, despite initial challenges, including a tight preparation schedule and concerns over haze.

He said lessons learned and experience gained from past challenges, including natural disasters and issues relating to economic stability, had enabled Selangor to adopt a more organised and systematic approach to ensuring the success of events.

At the event, the state government presented tokens of appreciation to local authorities, sponsors and private sector partners for their contributions to the successful staging of the Games. — Bernama

莎阿南，10月31日讯——雪兰莪州务大臣拿督斯里阿米鲁丁·沙里表示，雪兰莪州政府已准备好向其他希望举办区域或国际锦标赛的国家提供其高标准的体育设施。

他表示，鉴于雪兰莪州拥有种类繁多的升级体育设施，并且是举办包括东南亚运动会在内的重大国际体育赛事的首选目的地，这项举措符合雪兰莪州现有的能力。

“我们面临的挑战是如何充分利用这些维护良好的设施来提高运动员的能力，并让他们为未来的比赛做好准备，”他昨晚在拉惹慕达慕沙礼堂举行的第22届马来西亚运动会（Sukma）和2026年雪兰莪残疾人运动会（Para Sukma Selangor 2026）的Sanjungan Budi活动上说道。

出席的还有雪兰莪青年、体育和创业执行委员会主席Mohd Najwan Halimi以及第22届Sukma和Para Sukma Selangor 2026秘书处首席执行官Datuk Mohd Yazid Sairi。

关于最近举办的马来西亚运动会和残疾人运动会，阿米鲁丁表示，雪兰莪州的优势在于无需建造新的体育设施，而是与地方政府和私营部门合作，投入近 1 亿令吉用于升级现有场馆。

“我们还要感谢私营部门为升级和维护自身设施所做出的贡献，这有助于确保苏克马运动会和残疾人苏克马运动会的顺利进行，”他说。

阿米鲁丁表示，尽管初期面临一些挑战，包括准备时间紧迫和雾霾问题，但比赛场馆的升级和各利益相关方的积极参与是两年一度的运动会成功举办的关键因素。

他表示，从过去的挑战（包括自然灾害和与经济稳定相关的问题）中吸取的教训和获得的经验，使雪兰莪能够采取更有组织、更系统的方式来确保活动的成功举办。
