Message from the Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia, YB Encik Khairy Jamaluddin
After 16 years, Malaysia is once again hosting the SEA Games. Back then, we had just hosted a highly successful Commonwealth Games in 1998, and we managed to become overall champion at the 2001 SEA Games.
Since then, Malaysian sports has seen its ups and downs. Despite that, it never lost its vibrancy and excitement, especially among sports fans who never failed to support their local sporting heroes.
The year 2017 will also mark Malaysia’s 60th year of independence - an important milestone in our young nation’s history. I am sure that on the sporting front, the 29th chapter of the SEA Games will also be a landmark occasion and a source of pride for all Malaysians for many years to come.
Most importantly, we promise to put on a good show for all the athletes, officials and most importantly, sports fans and enthusiasts like yourself.
See you in Kuala Lumpur in 2017!
