KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) today dismissed the inaccurate ringgit exchange rate data circulating on social media based on an erroneous USD/RM exchange rate published by Google on Friday, March 15.
PETALING JAYA: Olympic Council of Malaysia president Tan Sri Norza Zakaria feels the Malaysian government should take up the offer to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Norza even revealed that the offer included significant financial investment of £100mil to support the local delivery and legacy planning of the 2026 edition. "The last time Malaysia hosted the Commonwealth Games was in 1998, thus CGA Malaysia is of the opinion that the Government of Malaysia should consider this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – and the associated support and financial investment - which will build on the success of Kuala Lumpur 1998 and put Malaysia back onto the world sporting map," he said.
"The hosting will involve minimal government spending and bring significant socio-economic benefits to the country.
