Is Malaysia Ready to Host The 2026 Commonwealth Games?

The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) is struggling to find a host for the 2026 Commonwealth Games after the Australian state of Victoria backed out. The government is reportedly considering an offer from the CGF for Malaysia to take on the role of host, which has elicited varied responses from both critics and enthusiasts. Journalist T. Avineshwaran of the Star Media Group weighs in on the debate.
