According to the Order Paper, Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden (PN-Alor Setar) will ask the Youth and Sports Minister to state Malaysia’s targets for the 2025 SEA Games and the ministry’s level of preparedness following Thailand’s decision, as the host, to revamp the events by adding 15 events and dropping 10 others.
