Development and preparation
The 11th Sukma Games Organising Committee was formed to oversee the staging of the event.Official 11th Sukma Games Website http://www.sukmakedah.com.my/home.aspx dead https://web.archive.org/web/20060819005332/http://www.sukmakedah.com.my/home.aspx 19 August 2006
Venues
The 2006 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 were done at venues which were more than a decade old. They reverted to public use after the Games.http://www.thestar.com.my/news/community/2006/05/24/worldclass-facilities-for-sports-tourism_1/ World Class Facilities for Sport Tourism 24 May 2006 26 June 2016 The Star
At the centrepiece of the activities was the upgraded 40,000-seat Darul Aman Stadium, which hosted most of the events. A games village was not built, instead athletes and officials were housed in universities throughout Kedah. Besides being physically near to the sport venues, it was hoped that this approach would add vibe to the city and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.
The 11th Sukma Games had 24 venues for the games. 12 in Kota Setar, 4 each in Kuala Muda and Kubang Pasu and 1 each in Langkawi, Padang Terap and Pendang.http://www.sukmakedah.com.my/BM/gVenue/list.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20060703004944/http://www.sukmakedah.com.my/BM/gVenue/list.htm Venue: Official Website 3 July 2006 26 June 2016http://ww2.utusan.com.my/utusan/special.asp?pr=sukma2006&y=2006&dt=0604&pub=sukma2006&sec=Berita&pg=sb_03.htm Reevaluate the Sukma rules 17 October 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171017093646/http://ww2.utusan.com.my/utusan/special.asp?pr=sukma2006&y=2006&dt=0604&pub=sukma2006&sec=Berita&pg=sb_03.htm 17 October 2017 dead

Mascot
The mascot of the 2006 Sukma Games is a nameless Eagle. It is said that the eagle is the state bird of Kedah and one of the prevalent species in Kedah especially in Langkawi where an eagle sculpture was erected in the Eagle Square (Dataran Helang) to symbolise the island. The adoption of eagle as the games' mascot is to represent the fighting spirit of the athletes participating at the games.http://www.sukmakedah.com.my:80/BM/gInfo/maskot.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20060408174935/http://www.sukmakedah.com.my/BM/gInfo/maskot.htm dead 8 April 2006 Mascot at Official Website 19 August 2006 25 February 2021http://documents.pageflip-flap.com/uocI9l7SFb9BVHJ3ovBUDcJV#p=31&z=1 Flip flap mascot 16 October 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304080732/http://documents.pageflip-flap.com/uocI9l7SFb9BVHJ3ovBUDcJV#p=31&z=1 4 March 2016 dead

Concerns and controversies
On 28 May 2006, the Kedah state team lost a Gold medal after it was found out that Linvern Lim Yu Zheng represented Kedah as a Negeri Sembilan citizen. The Kedah state team deliberately took him for the Swimming event and was found not to obey the Games rules. Lim Yu Zheng previously represented Negeri Sembilan in the two previous Sukma Games.
On 4 June 2006, An athlete failed a doping test.
On 28 May 2006, a power shortage occurred at several Sukma Games venues in Kedah. At the Mount Keriang Aquatic Centre, the electronic scoreboard suffered some damage when the diving event was about to begin at 11 am. At the Squash centre in Muadzam Shah Sports Complex, the power shortage occurred at 4:40 pm, which caused the following events to be delayed.http://ww2.utusan.com.my/utusan/special.asp?pr=sukma2006&y=2006&dt=0528&pub=sukma2006&sec=Berita&pg=sb_10.htm Electrical disturbance affects 11th Sukma Games 6 October 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171006212255/http://ww2.utusan.com.my/utusan/special.asp?pr=sukma2006&y=2006&dt=0528&pub=sukma2006&sec=Berita&pg=sb_10.htm 6 October 2017 dead
