Malaysian states cash incentives for Sukma Games

Entities: Sabah · SUKMA 2026 · Kelantan · Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan · Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor

Overview

In early August, Penang detailed its tiered cash‑reward scheme for gold‑medal winners: RM4,000 per gold for up to 39 golds, RM6,000 for 40‑49, RM8,000 for 50‑59, and RM10,000 once the 60‑gold target is reached, reinforcing the state’s aim of 60 gold medals from its 886‑person contingent.

Sabah announced a raised incentive of RM10,000 per gold medal—up from RM5,000—and set a goal of at least 40 golds, fielding 744 athletes in 36 sports.

Kelantan’s sports committee outlined a target of 16 gold medals, with 582 athletes competing in 35 sports and an additional 62 para‑athletes for the Para SUKMA events.

All three states are preparing for the main SUKMA Games (15‑24 August) and the Para SUKMA competition (5‑11 September) in Selangor.
