2026 Commonwealth Games - Waste of Money, or Worth It?

Malaysia has been offered the opportunity to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games by the Commonwealth Games Federation. The announcement has drawn mixed reactions from both the public and sports associations as we await Cabinet's decision on whether we'll be hosting the 23rd edition of the Games. We speak to Twentytwo13's Haresh Deol to discuss the potential benefits of hosting the Games or whether it's squandering resources.
