Concerns and controversies

On 15 August 2026, a localised controversy erupted on social media early on when a viral video exposed an incident where the host state Para Sukma swimmers were abruptly forced to halt their official training sessions.The sudden interruption sparked backlash regarding scheduling fairness and respect for para-athletes. The situation grew significant enough that Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari had to publicly issue a guarantee that the pool schedule coordination errors would be resolved and would not happen again.
