Host selection

edit

During a meeting of Sukma's highest committee, which was chaired by then-Ministry of Youth and Sports, Khairy Jamaluddin on 15 May 2015, the committee awarded Perak and Johor the right to host 2018 Sukma Games and 2020 Sukma Games respectively, but the latter was postponed to 2022 and held in Kuala Lumpur instead by the National Sports Council due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7][8]

In 2023, Sarawak were chosen as the host of Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) 2024 after full agreement by Malaysia Games (Sukma) Supreme Committee to organize the biennial sports event. The Committee, which is chaired by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Hannah Yeoh, said the selection of Sarawak for next year's Sukma was also based on the new rotation system between National Sports Council and the States.[a] [10]

Marketing

edit

The official logo, mascots and song are chosen through a competition organised by the Ministry of Youth, Sports And Entrepreneur Development Sarawak and was unveiled during the launching ceremony at Pullman Hotel, Kuching on 9 March 2024.[28]

edit

The official logo of the 2024 Sukma Games, resembling a "burning torch", is designed by Azrilalfatt Hassim. A slightly different version was used for the Para Sukma Games.[28]

Mascot

edit
Satria (2024 version)
Satrina (2024 version)

A revised version of the pair of Rhinoceros hornbill named "Satria" and "Satrina", with a fiercer and more realistic look than the 2016 version, was adopted as the official mascot of the 2024 Sukma Games. The mascots were designed by a freelance designer, Ikhbar Ruzaini Abang@Ebai who incorporates complex colouring, while staying true to the colours of the Sarawak flag — red, yellow, and black. The designer crafted a total of 47 different icons for the mascots, depicting them in various sports actions, with 37 icons representing different sports and 10 icons dedicated to Para Sukma events.[28]

Official song

edit

The official song of the games is entitled "Sukma Sarawak, Kesukanan dan Perpaduan" (lit.'Sukma Sarawak, Sportsmanship and Unity') and is composed by Kaderi Awang Lihi. Another version of this song is also composed for Para Sukma Games.[28]

Official mobile app

edit

On 9 August 2024, Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah launched the official Sukma Sarawak 2024 mobile app, a first for Sukma games. The app contains detailed information about the Games, including event schedules, athlete profiles, results and the medal tally.[29] A separate app was also created for Para Sukma Games as well.
