The Mascot of the 2002 Sukma Games is a [11]Proboscis monkey named Bayau. It is said that the Proboscis monkey is a reddish-brown arboreal Old World monkey that is endemic to the south-east Asian island of Borneo. In Sabah, it can be found in Sukau, Sg. Segama, Klias and other places in small population. Apart from having a large body size, it can swing fast from tree to tree and swimming. The adoption of the proboscis monkey is to promote eco-tourism and to create awareness about the animal.[12][13]

The theme song of the 2002 Sukma Games is "Gemilang Di Alaf Baru" which means, Glory in the New Century and is eponymous to the games theme.[14]
