Sukma returns to Selangor with vision to nurture braver generation

After a 28-year absence, the Malaysia Games (Sukma) have returned to Selangor, according to Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari. The Games are not just about returning to the state, but providing a platform for the younger generation to challenge themselves, develop their talents, and gain the confidence to achieve more.

The return also emphasizes the importance of Para Sukma, as excellence should not be measured solely by podium finishes. Para athletes demonstrate that human capabilities extend beyond physical limitations, showing perseverance, courage, and an indomitable spirit that can overcome what was once considered impossible. The theme "Rentak Kita, Aksi Kita" (Our Rhythm, Our Action) represents the unity of Malaysia's diverse population, with the athletes' performances reflecting their courage and true capabilities.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, and praised the Selangor Youth and Sports Committee chair, Najwan Halimi, along with the staff, volunteers, and parents who supported the aspiring athletes.
