Sementara itu Timbalan Setiausaha Kerajaan (Pembangunan) Dato’ Johary Anuar yang merasmikan program berkata festival menjadi titik tolak untuk semua pihak menggembleng tenaga dan idea bagi mengembangkan lagi industri seni dan sastera negeri.

Selangor Sports Council executive director Mohamad Nizam Marjugi said all athletes and officials, including coaches, were listed for the biennial Games before the registration deadline on July 5.

In a statement today, LLSB said it competed against more than 500 other nominations from around the world in this year’s award edition, for its improvement efforts of Sungai Klang to make it viable for new economic opportunities and for the social well-being of communities around the river.

“Jadi ia akan berjalan selepas ini menggunakan dana khas Kerajaan Negeri. Tak ganggu mana-mana peruntukan,” katanya kepada SelangorKini.

Pemberian insentif kemenangan kepada atlet, pegawai dan jurulatih kontinjen Selangor baru-baru ini diharap dapat menyuntik semangat untuk terus beraksi cemerlang pada temasya Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) akan datang.
