  "summary": "The National Sports Day (HSN) 2026 celebration at Bukit Jalil, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed due to severe haze affecting the country. The Youth and Sports Ministry announced that the new date will be determined once air quality improves to a safe level for outdoor activities. This decision was made to ensure the health and safety of participants, organisers, and the public. While state-level HSN events and other locations may still proceed based on local conditions, the nationwide postponement highlights the ministry's commitment to public health. The ministry is actively monitoring the haze situation and will continue to update the public on the revised schedule.",
