Haze hits Para Sukma, four events postponed after Selangor API climbs to unhealthy 169

The Selangor 2026 Malaysia Games and Para Sukma Organising Committee have postponed four para sports events due to an unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) reading of 169 in Shah Alam and Klang. The decision was made following advice from the Department of Environment, the Ministry of Health, and a special technical committee. The postponed events include athletics at the UiTM Stadium, swimming at the Selangor Aquatic Complex, archery at the Selangor State Youth and Sports Complex, and lawn bowls at Bayuemas, Klang.

Updates on the resumption of the events will be announced depending on the API readings in the affected areas. The Selangor Para Sukma competition began yesterday, with various events such as athletics, powerlifting, archery, badminton, boccia, table tennis, chess, and lawn bowls held throughout the day.
