The Malaysian Olympic Council (OCM) is in a bit of a pickle as they gear up for the 2025 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games. Despite the clock ticking, they haven’t received a single penny from the Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) to kickstart their preparations.

OCM’s president, Tan Sri Mohamad Norza Zakaria, spilled the beans during a recent press conference. He mentioned that they’re still waiting for the green light from KBS to get the ball rolling on their SEA Games plans.

What’s the holdup?

It turns out that the Youth and Sports Minister, Hannah Yeoh, is taking her sweet time to give the thumbs up. She’s apparently still mulling over whether Malaysia should host the 2025 SEA Games or not.

Why the hesitation?

Well, it’s not just about sports. The minister is weighing the pros and cons, considering factors like:

  • The economic impact
  • The country’s ability to host such a big event
  • Whether it’s the right time for Malaysia to take on this challenge

What’s next?

For now, the OCM is playing the waiting game. They’re hoping to hear some good news soon so they can start preparing for the games. After all, hosting a major sporting event like the SEA Games is no small feat – it requires tons of planning, coordination, and, of course, money.

So, sports fans in Malaysia might need to hold their horses for a bit longer. The fate of the 2025 SEA Games in Malaysia is still up in the air, and everyone’s waiting to see what Minister Yeoh will decide. Stay tuned for more updates on this sports saga!
