Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim attends the Sarawak state-level 2024 Gawai Dayak Dinner at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching, June 22, 2024. With him is Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg . Sarawak has accepted to co-host the 2027 South-east Asian Games together with the federal government on condition that the opening ceremony will be held in Kuching while the closing ceremony can be held in Putrajaya.
“If these conditions are met, we will accept to co-host the SEA Games with the federal government, and it is not a problem for us,” he said at the last leg of the baton run for the 21st edition of Malaysian Games to be hosted in Sarawak from August 17 to 24 and Para Sukma from September 22 to 28, 2024.
The premier said it would be an embarrassment if Malaysia skips hosting the games on grounds of high budget to be incurred.“The Sarawak government will make efforts to be the co-host based on the Malaysian nationalism spirit and the spirit to search for new talents in sports,” he said. Abang Johari said the federal Minister of Youth and Sports Hannah Yeoh has spoken to state Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah on co-hosting the SEA Games.
