PUTRAJAYA: The Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) will present a study on the impact of organising the 2027 Sea Games to the Cabinet before the 2024 Paris Olympics scheduled on July 26-Aug 11.
Its minister, Hannah Yeoh, said the presentation will also explain the financial impact of hosting the 2027 edition.
The presentation will include findings from the engagement session with all stakeholders at the National Sports Council, Bukit Jalil, last Thursday.
"We are preparing the cabinet paper now based on the engagement with stakeholders and the previous organisation of the 2017 Sea Games in Kuala Lumpur. I don't know the exact week, but of course, before the 2024 Olympic Games.
"There was only one stakeholder session, and the response from the day-long session is positive," she told Bernama after flagging off the POWERMAN Malaysia 2024 participants here today.
Last month, Hannah expected the expenses to host the 2027 Sea Games to cost more than RM700 million.
The Sea Games Federation (SEAGF) council members meeting in May 2022 unanimously agreed to grant the right to host the 2027 edition Malaysia following Brunei's withdrawal.
Malaysia hosted the Sea Games in 1965, 1971, 1977, 1989, 2001 and 2017. – BERNAMA
