KUCHING, Oct 20: Athletes who demonstrate potential at the 2026 Malaysia Games (Sukma) will be identified for continued development through structured programmes tailored to their performance, potential and individual needs, to help them progress to the national and ultimately, international level.
Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the Sarawak government, through his ministry, the Sarawak Sports Corporation (SSC) and the National Sports Council of Sarawak (MSN Sarawak), would strengthen the athlete development pathway from grassroots and junior levels to Sukma and beyond.
“The focus is to ensure promising young athletes did not lose momentum after the Games, but continued to receive the necessary support and opportunities to advance their sporting careers,” he said when delivering his ministerial winding up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUNS) sitting today.
