PETALING JAYA: The age eligibility of Malaysia Games (Sukma) athletes will be a poser as the meet has been postponed for the third time. Yesterday, the Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican announced that the Games will be deferred by a year to 2022. It will however, will still be held in Johor Baru.
The biennial Games was initially scheduled in June but was postponed to March next year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The ministry then had to give up the March dates to accommodate the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia examinations.
