The 2011 Southeast Asian Games, officially known as the 26th Southeast Asian Games (Indonesian: Pesta Olahraga Asia Tenggara 2011) was a multi-sport event held in Jakarta and Palembang, Indonesia from 11 to 22 November 2011 with 545 events in 44 sports and disciplines featured in the games.[3] It was Indonesia's fourth time to host the Southeast Asian Games, the last time it hosted the Games was in 1997. Parallel to the Southeast Asian Games, the 2011 ASEAN Para Games for physically disabled athletes, begins 2 weeks after the 2011 Southeast Asian Games ends, with the competition held in Surakarta (Solo),[4] Central Java, Indonesia.

The capital city of Jakarta has been the host of Southeast Asian Games for three times, namely in 1979, 1987, and 1997. Palembang is the third SEA Games host city which is not the national capital, after Chiang Mai (1995) and Nakhon Ratchasima (2007), Thailand. Indonesia is the fifth nation to host the Southeast Asian Games after Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia and Singapore.

The final medal tally was led by host Indonesia, followed by Thailand and Vietnam. Several games, Asian and national records were broken during the games. Though there were several controversies, the Games were deemed generally successful with its promotion for conservative effort on endangered fauna species namely the komodo dragon through the mascot and with the rising standard of competition amongst the Southeast Asian nations.

Organisation

Host cities

Palembang
Jakarta
Co-hosts of 2011 Southeast Asian Games

Palembang, the capital city of South Sumatra was the main host of the games, holding a total of 296 events,[5][6] while the nation's capital Jakarta was the co-host, staging 266 events.[7][8] As the main host, Palembang only hold 21 of 44 sports, the rest was held by the co-host city. Palembang hosted the opening and closing ceremonies.[9]

Initially, the government had named four provinces as candidates to host the SEA Games 2011, namely Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, and South Sumatra. However this idea has been discarded and host only granted for two provinces. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has suggested two provinces would be enough for Indonesia to host the 26th SEA Games, to reduce operational costs and make the games easier to organise.[10]

The 2011 ASEAN Para Games was later hosted in Surakarta, Central Java.

Development and preparation

The Indonesia, or Inasoc, was the organising body for the games. It was also the organising committee for the 2011 ASEAN Para Games. The President of Inasoc is Rita Subowo, who is also the President of Indonesia Olympic Committee, with Rahmat Gobel, an Indonesian entrepreneur and the President of Panasonic Gobel Indonesia became its director-general.[11][12]

Indonesian Government Budget of 2010 gave a total of 350 billion rupiahs (± US$38.7 million) for the games, while the budget of 2011 gave a total of 2.1 trillion rupiahs (± US$230 million).[13]

According to Indonesian Minister of Youth and Sports, Andi Mallarangeng, the government of Indonesia added 1 trillion rupiahs (± US$110 million) from the government budget, including 600 billions from the budget for education sector, and fund from sponsorships.[14]

The government of South Sumatra declared its commitment to incorporate eco-policy with the games.[15] All venues during the games are smoking-free area.[16]

Palembang as the first city outside Jakarta to host the SEA Games was facing some environmental problems due to development for the games.[17]

Athletes village

Jakabaring, Palembang which covered the area of more than 45,000 square metres was the athletes village (wisma atlet) during the games. It is located in front of Jakabaring Stadium (Gelora Sriwijaya).[19]

Public transport

To prepare for athletes, officials, and visitors during the games, several significant changes are being done in both host cities. Palembang expands its Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Airport more than a hundred percent.[20] Currently the airport is served by only seven airlines and served only three other ASEAN countries, which are Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The Inasoc improved the number of flights, especially connecting flights from Jakarta and Singapore to Palembang, and also easiness for charter airflights from other SEA Games participating countries.[21] South Sumatran Office of Transportation, Communication, and Information will provide a total of 40 buses, 100 midibuses, 300 minibuses, and 100 motorcycles for the athletes, officials, and journalists.[22] Besides, a bus rapid transit, Trans Musi, served Palembang and surrounding regency of Ogan Ilir and Banyuasin.

Jakarta is served by Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. On 31 December 2010, Jakarta's bus rapid transit, TransJakarta opened its newest two corridors, Corridor 9 and 10. KRL Jabotabek is a mass rapid transit system which serves Jakarta and its commuters. There are currently two mass transportation systems under construction, the Jakarta Monorail and the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit System but there was no sign these projects will be finished before November 2011.

Concerning traffic jam in Jakarta, police blocked trucks from the inner city toll road between 5:00 am and 10:00 pm, similar to the ASEAN summit. Only shuttle buses with certain sticker were allowed to enter the 2 main games venues which were Ancol and Gelora Bung Karno stadium and vice versa between them.[23]

Countdown

The official countdown to the games' opening ceremony started since 11 November 2010, marking a year before the games. The countdown clock is located nearby the Ampera Bridge, the landmark of Palembang.[24]

Three hundred days before the opening ceremony, a special event showing Indonesian art performances and featuring a number of Indonesian famous celebrity was held at Teater Tanah Airku, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta. During the event, the official logo of the games was launched publicly.[25] On 10 November 2010 in Palembang, Indonesian Minister of Sport and Youth begin a year countdown to SEA Games opening.[26]

Torch Relay

A torch relay was held with the chairman of Indonesian National Sport Committee of South Sumatera province, Muddai Madang, said that the flame for SEA Games was taken from the eternal flame in Desa Mrapen, Purwodadi in the province of Central Java. The flame from Merapen was also used for 2008 Asian Beach Games and 1997 Southeast Asian Games torch relays. The relay started in Purwodadi and arrived in Palembang on 11 November 2011. It traveled through several Indonesian provinces before it followed the route across 15 South Sumatran regencies. The torch was passed from 6 to 11 November through Borobudur, Yogyakarta, Semarang, Komodo Island and Kupang, Jayapura, Makassar, Balikpapan and Samarinda, Jakarta, and finished in Palembang, South Sumatera.[27] The journey involved 45 torchbearers for every single leg of the relay.[28][29]

Logo and mascots

Official logo of 2011 SEA Games featuring the stylised brush strokes resembling Garuda, the national symbol of Indonesia

The official Logo of the 2011 SEA Games is a Garuda, which also the national symbol of Indonesia. The logo that depicts the philosophy of "Garuda Flight above Indonesia Nature”, as a symbol of the country.[30] Physical appearance of Garuda represents strength, while its wings epitomises glory and splendor. The upper green strokes symbolise the islands, forests, and mountainous terrain of the Indonesia archipelago, while the blue strokes epitomises the vast Nusantara ocean which unifies differences. Land and water or Tanah Air in Indonesian means homeland. The red strokes represent courage, zeal, and burning passion to give the best for the country.[31] This logo was introduced during SEA Games Preparation Ministerial Meeting in Jakarta, 3 December 2010,[32] and launched to the public in a celebration of 300 days before the opening ceremony, 15 January 2011 at Teater Tanah Airku, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah.[33]

Official mascots of 2011 SEA Games, Modo and Modi. They are inspired by the Komodo dragon, native to East Nusa Tenggara
Modo and Modi mascots in SEA Games venue

The official mascots for 2011 SEA Games in Indonesia are called Modo and Modi, a pair of Komodo dragons.[34] Modo is a male Komodo dragon wearing a blue traditional Indonesian costume and a batik sarong, while Modi is a female Komodo dragon wearing a red kebaya with a batik sash and pants. The mascots were adopted from Komodo dragons, an endemic Indonesian fauna native to Komodo, Rinca, and Padar islands in East Nusa Tenggara. The mascots were introduced and launched 200 days before the SEA Games XXVI, on Monday 25 April 2011 in three places: in Jakarta, Tanah Airku Theatre in Taman Mini Indonesia Indah and Selamat Datang Monument in Central Jakarta.[35] "Modo" is a short name for Komodo, while "Modo-Modi" is a modified spelling of Muda-Mudi which means "youth" in Indonesian language, derived from pemuda (male youth) and pemudi (female youth).

Previously, the government of Palembang had chosen the Sumatran elephant as the mascot through an open contest, but there was a suggestion from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the National Sports Committee of Indonesia to use rajawali instead.[36] The rajawali is an Indonesian hawk. Then both Sumatran elephants and Javan hawk-eagles were discarded in favour of Komodo dragons. The choosing of Komodo dragons for the Games' mascots was in line with an Indonesian effort to promote Komodo National Park as a New7Wonders of Nature candidate.

Songs

The 2011 Southeast Asian Games's first theme song, "Ayo Indonesia Bisa" was composed by Yovie Widianto and sung by vocalist Ello featuring Sherina Munaf duet vocalist pop music soloist, was the official theme anthem of the 2011 Southeast Asian Games. The second theme song "Kita Bisa" was composed by Yovie Widianto and sung by Dudi Nuno, Dikta Nuno, Ello, Judika, Terry, Astrid and Lala Karmela (credited as Yovie and Friends). A music video of the second theme song, featuring the singers and Indonesian athletes and accompanied by the Victorian Phillaharmonic Orchestra was also released. At the closing ceremony, the song "Kita Bisa" was played just after the torch was extinguished.

The official theme song of the opening ceremony "Together We Will Shine" composed by Addie MS and Jozef Cleber was performed at the opening ceremony by Agnes Monica from Indonesia, Jaclyn Victor from Malaysia, and KC Concepcion from Philippines.[37][38]

Concerns and controversies

Event cut down

INASOC (The Indonesia SEA Games Organising Committee) proposed to stage a total of 577 events during the games, but later the Minister of Youth and Sport, Andi Mallarangeng ordered the committee to reduce the number, especially for those events with less than 4 countries to participate.[59]

Countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam deplore the decision which being made by the host country. Indonesia decided to remove some events from cue sport, shooting, aerobic, pétanque, and table tennis. Most critics come out after the host country decided to remove the women's football. On the other hand. Indonesia included new disciplines, some of them are considered unpopular by other participating countries, such as contract bridge, parachuting, roller sports, wall climbing and vovinam.[60] In this event Indonesia has captured all out of the total 12 gold medals contested in rollerskating in the sport's first appearance at the Southeast Asian Games.[61]

The strategy to maximise the medal yield and advantage for host country has been a major problem for Southeast Asian Games that being carried out by the host country. The strategy among other cutting down the numbers of medals for sports that are the advantages of other countries, also introducing new sports numbers that is unpopular among other countries. At 2001 Southeast Asian Games, Malaysia introduced lawn bowls, netball and pétanque, 2003 Southeast Asian Games, Vietnam added fin swimming and shuttlecock, 2005 SEA Games, the Philippines added arnis, a demonstration sport in 2003, with 6 sets of medals and it won 3 gold medals.

At SEA Games Federation Meeting in Bali, February 2011, Malaysia appealed for the reinclusion of 60 dropped events, but then the federation rejected the appeal from Olympic Council of Malaysia. The National Sports Council of Malaysia mulled over the possibility of sending only back-up athletes for the 26th SEA Games. Datuk Zolkples Embong, the director-general of the council, said that the move to drop several events would adversely affect Malaysia's medal chances. He argues:

"Why should we [Malaysia] waste time and money to send the elite athletes if it is only for a small gain."[62]
Controversial decision

The gold medal rewarded for Indonesian Dian Kristanto in the Class A Pencak Silat finals has raised criticisms from some countries, namely: Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.[63] Singaporean Pencak Silat referee Jasni Salam didn't give a fair decision and announced Kristanto the winner after he had bitten his Thai counterpart Anothai Choopeng, ran away from him and hid behind Salam’s back. Thailand’s Pencak Silat team manager Rattanaphorn Thupbumrung expressed her dismay at the outcome of the match, telling Yahoo! Tin tức (Vietnam).[63][64] Right after that, the Singaporean team manager Sheik Alau’ddin Y Marican on behalf of the whole Singapore expressed his shame of Salam’s actions and submitted a written request to the SEA Games organising committee to ban Salam from refereeing in the competition[63] and also sent a document of apologising to Thai Pencak Silat Federation.[65]

Vietnam Television at late night gave a comment with quotation from Anothai Choopeng "Except Indonesian here every single body finds who is worth winning. I am truly disappointed with the behaviours from the set of referees. They always do everything to make the host country win."

Indonesian Pencak Silat team official Bambang Rus Effendi explained that what Kristanto did should be regarded as strategy; keeping distance from his opponent in third round after already winning points in first two rounds to keep ahead in the point.[66] He explained two or three years ago Kristanto suffered knee ligaments injuries, that during the match the intramedular nail embedded in his knee is pointing up and hurting him.[67] Nevertheless, the incident has also uproared Indonesian media and spectators that reportedly felt ashamed and condemned the way Kristanto fought that has insulted Indonesian martial art legacy and tarnished the image of Indonesian Pencak Silat.[68]

Football stampede

Two people were reportedly dead after a dramatic stampede at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium for Football Final event of the Games. A little boy has also fought for his life.[69] Several others were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
