Development and preparation

The 10th Sukma Games Organizing Committee was formed to oversee the staging of the event. According to the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Dato' Seri Utama Haji Mohamad bin Haji Hasan, the state government spent around RM170 million. [8] Around RM132.6 million was allocated for the renovation and upgrading of the stadium and facilities. The actual cost of organizing the sports event was around RM36 million.

Major construction took place, especially in the hub of the sports complex in Paroi, such as the renovation of Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium and the construction of the new aquatic complex, which began in 2002. There was a major upgrade for the state hockey stadium and Tan Sri Dr. Mohamed Said bowling complex in Seremban 2.

Venues

The 2004 Sukma Games used a mix of new and existing venues. Most venues were existing public-sporting facilities, while others were newly constructed venues. Some retrofitting work was done in venues that are more than a decade old. They will be returned to public use after the games.

The centerpiece of the activities was the upgraded 45,000-seat Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium, which hosts most of the events. A games village was not built; instead, athletes and officials were housed in universities, apartments, and hotels throughout Negeri Sembilan.

Besides being physically near the sports venues, it was hoped that it would add vibe to the city and reduce post-game costs by converting a dedicated games village to other uses.

The 10th Sukma Games had 31 venues for the games. 22 in Seremban, four in Port Dickson, three in Kuala Pilah and two in Rembau. [9] [10]
