SEA Games 2027: Miri Ready To Host Several Sports – Awang Tengah

MIRI, The city of Miri is ready and open to be the venue for several sports if Sarawak co-hosts the 2027 SEA Games, said Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.

He said the city has the potential to host some sports based on observations at several venues currently involved in organising the 2024 Malaysian Games (SUKMA).

A total of six sports were contested in Miri, namely karate, fencing, sailing, pencak silat, rugby and softball at the biennial event.

“In Miri, I found good and complete equipment not only in the Miri Indoor Stadium but in some other places, it appears that Miri is sufficiently ready to host a bigger tournament.

“This has been proven by SUKMA. If we host the SEA Games, of course we can hold some events in Miri,” he said after visiting the pencak silat venue at the Miri City Stadium, here today.

Earlier Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the state is ready to co-host the 2027 SEA Games and suggested that the opening ceremony be held in Land of the Horn
bills.

At the same time Awang Tengah hopes that the state’s contingent will be able to emerge as the overall champion of SUKMA 2024 with a target of 70 gold medals.

As of 2.50 this afternoon, the host is leading with 51 gold, 29 silver and 39 bronze.
