The 2004 Sukma Games, officially known as the 10th Sukma Games was a Malaysian multi-sport event held in Negeri Sembilan from 29 May to 6 June 2004. Sarawakian swimmer Daniel Bego and Perakian swimmer Cindy Ong were announced as Best Sportsman and Best Sportswoman of the event respectively.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Development and preparation
The 10th Sukma Games Organising Committee was formed to oversee the staging of the event.
Venues
The 2004 Sukma Games used a mix of new and existing venues. Most venues were existing public-sporting facilities, while others were newly constructed venues. Some retrofitting work were done in venues which are more than a decade old. They will be revert to public use after the games.
At the centrepiece of the activities was the upgraded 45,000-seat Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium which hosts most of the events. A games village was not built, instead athletes and officials were housed in Universities, apartments and hotels throughout Negeri Sembilan. Besides being physically near to the sport venues, it was hoped that it will add vibe to the city and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.
The 10th Sukma Games had 31 venues for the games. 22 in Seremban, 4 in Port Dickson, 3 in Kuala Pilah and 2 in Rembau.[8][9]
