: The Cabinet will discuss next week whether Malaysia will host the 2026 Commonwealth Games following the decision of Australia’s Victoria state not to stage the Games due to escalating costs.
“There is a lot of feedback out there, everyone has their views, but I assure you that this government is very responsible with every ringgit of the people’s money. The fate of the 2026 Commonwealth Games remains uncertain after Victoria in Australia, originally slated to host the 23rd edition, withdrew in July last year due to a significant increase in hosting costs from the initial estimate of AUD2.6 billion to AUD7 billion .
Of the 74 countries and territories that are members of the Commonwealth Games Federation , only England, Canada, Australia, Wales, New Zealand, Jamaica, Scotland, India and Malaysia have ever hosted the event.
