Dr Amanda represented Malaysia at the FIMS Council of Delegates, and also served as proxy representative for Thailand, strengthening Malaysia’s engagement within the international Sports Medicine community.

Both MASM representatives also contributed to the scientific programme through e-poster and poster presentations, showcasing Malaysian Sports & Exercise Medicine research and clinical experience:

As the SUKMA curtain closes, we celebrate more than just the athletes on the podium.

Behind every performance throughout SUKMA XXII Selangor 2026 was a dedicated team working quietly behind the scenes — providing Sports Medicine and Sports Science services, supporting athletes’ health, recovery and performance every step of the way.

MASM Press Statement
For Immediate release

MASM is deeply saddened by the recent passing of several athletes and extends its heartfelt condolences to their families, friends, teammates, and the wider sporting community.

These tragic losses remind us that prevention matters. Pre-Participation Evaluation (PPE) isn't about discouraging participation in sports. It's about helping athletes participate safely by identifying potential health risks early. Together with Emergency Action Plans (EAP), CPR-trained personnel, and readily available AEDs, these measures can save lives.

Let's honour those we've lost by building a safer sporting environment for every athlete. ❤️
