Selangor Para Athletes Honoured at 2026 Para SUKMA

What happened

Muhammad Safwan Suhaimi was named Best Male Para Athlete of the 2026 Malaysia Para Games (Para SUKMA) Selangor.

The award ceremony was held in Shah Alam on Sept 10. Safwan, a para-swimmer, won six gold medals and one bronze at the Games.

Who was recognised

Noshazwani was crowned Best Female Athlete of the 2026 Para SUKMA Selangor.

Both athletes were honoured at the same event in Shah Alam. Bernama reported the recognition on Sept 10.

The winner's performance

Safwan competed as a para-swimmer for Selangor. His six gold medals and one bronze stood out at the Games.

That medal haul earned him the Best Male Para Athlete title.

Why it matters

Para SUKMA is Malaysia's national multi-sport event for athletes with disabilities.

The awards highlight top performances within the Selangor contingent. Recognition at this level draws attention to para-sport development in the state.

Selangor's standing

Selangor fielded athletes across para-sport disciplines at the 2026 Games.

Safwan's six gold medals anchored the state's swimming results. Noshazwani's award added a second individual honour for Selangor.

What comes next

The awards close out Selangor's 2026 Para SUKMA campaign.

Both athletes return to training under the state's para-sport programme. Further honours will depend on results at future national Games.
