National Sports Day postponed across seven Malaysian states due to haze

Seven states and federal territories will not hold National Sports Day celebrations on their scheduled dates due to hazardous air quality, the Ministry of Youth and Sports announced. The postponement affects multiple regions across the country as haze levels continue to impact outdoor conditions. The ministry cited safety concerns for participants as the primary reason for the deferment. Officials stated that rescheduled dates for the events will be confirmed once air quality index readings return to safe levels permitting outdoor activities. Participants and organisers have been advised to await further announcements from the ministry regarding new event dates. The ministry continues to monitor air quality conditions across affected areas to determine when celebrations can safely proceed.
