CHAPTER 1

Background and History
Sukma Games

9

Malaysian Games (SUKMA) was proposed by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, YB Anwar
Ibrahim in 1983. For a start, 6 sports, which include athletics, tennis, PingPong, Cycling, Sports and
Volleyball. The number of sports increased due to popularity. Surprisingly, this suggestion
somehow captures many attention from interested parties. Hence new proposal were made to add
more sports by involving private sector as sponsor to generate a source of funds. A final agreement
was reached on 5 February 1986 by the board of directors to organized the first event in 1986. A
concept called “Malaysia Incorporated” was used and the amateur sports rules were also being
used. On 6th July 1965, the board of directors established a high-powered committee and the
organizing committee to manage the event. All aspects of the event including infrastructure, venue
selection, sports rules and promotion are within the committee concern. Promotion is a crucial
factor in SUKMA Games because it will deliver information regarding the date, venue and event
schedule.

SUKMA GAMES MASCOT

According to definition, a mascot is a person or famous celebrity, inanimate object and
animal. It is often associated with good luck. The most frequently appearing mascots on
public media we see do far are brand mascots. According to Lentini (2007) brand mascots
are useful for bringing a brand to life in tangible form,spreading their messages across a
variety of media. There is another kind of mascot, which often associated with sporting
events. The one that we are referring to is Anthropomorphic Mascot. The word
Anthropomorphic refers to “the endowment of animals, objects and environments with
human characteristics” (Paul Wells, 1998). In context of Malaysia, Anthropomorphic
Mascot is often used in the promotion of multi-sport event namely Sukan Malaysia or
SUKMA. The mascot will be used for promotion before actual event, during the event and
after the event. It will take the role as the ambassador of goodwill representing the city, state
and country.

before the athlete starts the competition. This should not be taken lightly because it can affect the
health and performance of athletes to compete later. Meals and menus should be appropriate to the
type of sport and diet of an athlete. This is because every athlete has a different diet and needs to get
advice from their respective nutritionists.

equipment such as long material for example a pole vault event, the pole itself will be carried by the
