KUALA LUMPUR: The government will decide on the offer to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games in a Cabinet meeting on Friday (March 22), says Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh.

She said the decision must undergo thorough analysis and cannot be made hastily.

“Pending the government's current undisclosed stance, the Youth and Sports Ministry is of the view that the people's interests always come first. We are committed to not wasting taxpayers' money, even if we are prepared to host the Games," said Yeoh.
