PUTRAJAYA: The 20th Malaysia Games (Sukma) have been brought forward two weeks and will be held from Sept 16-24, in conjunction with the Malaysia Day celebration, followed by the Para Sukma from Nov 1-6 in the Klang Valley.

This follows the postponement of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games previously scheduled for Sept 10-25, allowing the organisers to use public university facilities for the placement of athletes during the semester break.
