The preparations for the 2027 SEA Games and Asean Para Games are progressing well, with around 40 per cent of the facilities already completed. Deputy Minister Mordi Bimol stated that these completed facilities will undergo operational tests before the Games commence to ensure everything is functioning properly. The success of the Games, themed "Celebrate Unity," requires the participation of Malaysians from various sectors, including the federal government, state governments, local authorities, sports associations, private sector, educational institutions, media practitioners, volunteers, and the public.

During an event marking the one-year countdown to the 34th SEA Games and 14th Asean Para Games, Mordi urged Malaysians to support the national athletes and get ready to welcome athletes and officials from across Asean. He emphasized that Malaysia's experience in hosting previous sporting events should be used to ensure the 2027 Games are smooth and strengthen the spirit of Asean through sport.
