KUCHING, Oct 13: Sarawak is looking to turn major international sporting events into career opportunities for local athletes and technical personnel, with the 2027 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games expected to open more doors beyond competitive sports.
Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Datuk Gerald Rentap Jabu said Sarawak’s hosting of 18 sports at the upcoming SEA Games would provide opportunities for local athletes to contribute their expertise and services while gaining exposure to international-level competitions.
“As another opportunity, Sarawak will host 18 sports at the upcoming Southeast Asian (SEA) Games. This will provide opportunities for our athletes to offer services to participating athletes,” he said speaking during the tabling of the Supply Bill 2027 at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUS) complex today.
