KUALA LUMPUR: Youth and Sports Minister Dr Taufiq Johari has downplayed rumours that Indonesia may boycott next year's Malaysia SEA Games.
Dr Taufiq said he had not received any official statements from Indonesia regarding the matter.
It was reported that a national sports association from Indonesia had suggested boycotting the SEA Games in Malaysia, and the idea has gained traction online.
Indonesia are reported to be unhappy that a number of their favoured sports such as climbing, rowing, beach volleyball, wrestling, chess, jujitsu, kickboxing and handball have been left out of the Games.
