THE 2026 Malaysia Games (SUKMA) in Selangor will introduce e-sports, chess, cricket, and kabaddi as new competitive sports, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh announced. The decision was finalized during the SUKMA Supreme Council meeting chaired by Yeoh, which also confirmed boxing and softball as mandatory sports from 2026 onwards. “This brings the total mandatory sports to 30. With the four additions, 34 sports will be contested,“ Yeoh said in a press conference. She emphasized that no further appeals for additional sports would be considered to allow organizers ample preparation time for the event, scheduled from August 15 to 24, 2026. Brunei Darussalam’s contingent was officially approved for participation, though the specific sports they will compete in will be decided by a technical committee. Additionally, state sports councils will oversee Para SUKMA participation starting 2026, replacing youth and sports departments for more strategic athlete development. Addressing gender disparity, Yeoh highlighted new policies to boost female representation. Open events will now require mixed-gender participation, and Olympic-recognized sports will proceed regardless of meeting the six-state minimum for women athletes. “This ensures opportunities for women despite funding challenges,“ she said. States must also appoint female contingent heads or deputies and allocate 20% of support roles to women. Selangor SUKMA will further ensure 30% female volunteers and 20% female technical officials. “This edition will be more inclusive, setting a new benchmark,“ Yeoh added. - Bernama

IPOH : The Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) has set aside RM5.5 million this year to fund two key initiatives—the Asnaf Economic Empowerment Programme (Proper A) and the Asnaf Entrepreneur Umbrella Programme (UPAYA). CEO Syamsul Hazeman Md Salleh said Proper A now adopts a dynamic model focusing on four sectors: smartphone repairs, mobile hairdressing, coffee franchises, and Roti Kaya Junus outlets. Participants receive RM8,000 to RM14,000 in financial aid, tailored to their business type, alongside training. “Mobile business participants get a motorcycle and starter kit, while franchisees gain full brand support to ease operations,“ he said after launching UPAYA. Monitoring will span three to six months to ensure effective fund utilisation. Under UPAYA, MAIPk has aided 60 Asnaf food entrepreneurs with equipment, training, and mentorship. “This lifts small-scale traders, resolves financial hurdles, and boosts household incomes,“ Syamsul added. The council aims to break poverty cycles and foster sustainable livelihoods. - Bernama

KUALA LUMPUR : A unified strategy between corridor authorities (PBK) and regional development agencies (LKW) is crucial for advancing rural development, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. As Minister of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW), Ahmad Zahid emphasised that structured planning aligned with local needs will drive sustainable progress. “The synergy between PBK as strategic planners and LKW as implementers can foster high-impact partnerships,“ he stated on his official Facebook page. Under the KKDW Strategic Plan 2026-2030, the government prioritises transforming rural economies via inclusive Rural Investment Hubs. These hubs aim to modernise rural identities by linking local potential with global markets. Key collaborations include Kedah’s Integrated Economic and Community Centre (iCON) by KEDA, NCIA-PERDA’s income initiative (IPR INTAN), and Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) along the East Coast supported by ECRL. Johor’s KEJORA also backs the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ). Ahmad Zahid affirmed that today’s PBK-LKW meeting underscores Malaysia’s commitment to coordinated rural growth. “Insya-Allah, this synergy will shape a resilient future for rural communities,“ he added. - Bernama

PUTRAJAYA : The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has taken statements from three individuals linked to a controversial video that went viral on social media. The clip, which showed them offering leftover food to a homeless man, triggered widespread backlash online. MCMC confirmed that the individuals were questioned today at the Iskandar Puteri district police headquarters in Johor. Authorities seized three mobile phones and SIM cards as part of the investigation. The commission stated that the video contained highly offensive content, provoking public anger and touching on sensitivities within Malaysia’s multiracial society. The case is being probed under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which carries penalties of up to RM500,000 in fines, two years’ imprisonment, or both. A Bernama check on TikTok revealed that the nearly two-minute video had been shared by multiple accounts. The footage showed three young men placing chicken bones in a rice packet before handing it to a homeless man sleeping on the sidewalk. - Bernama
