The 2023 race was initially taken off from the UCI calendar after the UCI received complains from teams of not receiving payments for appearance fees and flight tickets from last year's race. Malaysia National Cycling Federation vice president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill said that the race will go on as scheduled and he will get a clearer picture of the situation during the world body's board meeting.[2][3] In August 2023, the UCI agreed to reinstate the race in its calendar, with the National Sports Council making key changes on payments to participants from this year's race onwards.[4][5]
