GRIDLOCK, PUTRID WATERWAYS: IS JAKARTA ASIAN GAMES READY?

 Indonesia’s capital has scrambled to prepare for this weekend’s pan-Asian multi-sport event, but organizers insist that whatever is left on the to-do list is minor – critics disagree.

Jakarta is nicknamed the “Big Durian” by its denizens, as a strange smell usually accompanies its varied delights.

While enjoying all the attractions of an Asian megacity – deliciously spicy street food to capacious luxury malls – visitors to the Indonesian capital can find themselves distracted by the endlessly gridlocked traffic, impassable pavements, fetid waterways, and perpetually hazy skies.

Jakarta workers held their version of the Asian Games in the city’s streets as they downed tools for Indonesia’s annual independence day celebrations yesterday.

Workers played football, held tugs-of-war, and climbed a greasy bamboo pole as part of the traditional celebrations they held this year ahead of the Games opening ceremony.

What are the Asiad or Asian Games? 45 countries competing in everything from athletics to Pro Evolution Soccer

Esports make their debut as a demonstration event that hit Jakarta and Indonesia’s oldest city Palembang. 

It’s the second-largest world sporting event after the Olympics, where 45 countries compete in everything from football to card games.

The Asiad, or Asian Games, begins in Jakarta and Indonesia’s oldest city Palembang and the colorful event is the subject of the Google Doodle in some parts of the world.

China will be showing off an embarrassment of sporting riches. Indonesia will seek to prove its organizational capability. But, equally importantly, the 18th Asian Games will offer a sneak peek into the future of the Olympics.

All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min, whose career could be put on hold due to South Korea’s military service laws if he does not lead his team to a second consecutive soccer gold medal.

  • This includes killing dozens of petty criminals, Amnesty International said.
  • 31 killings happened in the host cities of Jakarta and South Sumatra alone.
  • The police chief is open about the treatment of suspected criminals – saying if they fight back, his guys will just shoot them.

Last month, authorities said they had shot more than 50 suspects in Jakarta who “resisted arrest” during a crackdown.

According to Amnesty International, dozens of people have been killed amid a police crackdown on petty crime in the run-up to the Asian Games in Indonesia.

The human rights organization said the police action was “unnecessary and excessive.”

It said at least 31 suspects were killed under a “shoot first and ask questions later” operation in host city Jakarta and South Sumatra in the build-up to the world’s second-biggest multi-sport event, which starts on Saturday.

Philippine bets hoping to medal in an initial blast of Asiad action

Nelson Beltran (philstar.com) – August 17, 2018 – 6:08 pm

JAKARTA – Philippine sports officials hope the swashbuckling opening-game victory by the national quintet can inspire the rest of the Filipino athletes as they start their quests for precious mints the day after curtains finally go up in the 18th Asian Games here Saturday night.

Twenty gold medals will be at stake Sunday, with the Philippine contingent banking on the Filipino jins in a bid to get to the medal column right in the initial blast of hostilities in the Jakarta meet gathering 15,000 athletes and sports officials in the region.

Gilas Pilipinas ripped apart Kazakhstan, 96-59, in a rousing debut in a men’s basketball competition, providing an early morale boost and momentum for Team Philippines ahead of the opening rites set for 7 p.m. (8 p.m. in Manila) tonight at the 75,000-seater Gelaro Bung Karno Sports Complex.

Asian Games: Indonesia’s police chief unapologetic about Shootings of petty criminals

By Indonesia bureau chief David Lipson

Posted 

Indonesian police have wrapped up their blitz on crime ahead of the Asian Games opening ceremony, shooting dead at least 15 petty criminals and injuring dozens more.

National Police Chief General Tito Karnavian said his officers had arrested “thousands of people” and detained “hundreds” to ensure the safety of visiting tourists during the games.

“In the last month … I have ordered my personnel to finish off all networks of pick-pockets and bag-snatchers, with the support of the Indonesian Military Chief,” he told reporters in late July.

 

He was unapologetic following accusations; police were using excessive force to solve relatively minor crimes.

“If [criminals] fight back, don’t hesitate. Finish them off,” he said.

August 16, 2018, 12:13 AM
The torch for the 18th Asian Games reached Indonesia’s capital Jakarta yesterday, ending a month-long journey across the Southeast Asian archipelago nation.
It was welcomed in style by marching bands, traditional dances, and concerts after starting its journey in the host country’s cultural center Yogyakarta on July 17.
The flame was lit in India’s capital New Delhi, which hosted the first Asian Games in 1951.
The torch is set to arrive Saturday at the Gelora Bung Karno stadium for the opening ceremonies, ending its 18,000km journey across 54 cities.

 

Asian Games: A lot at stake for hosts

16 August 2018

Despite a massive counter-terrorism crackdown since the 2002 Bali bombing, the past several years have increased militants’ activity.

Jakarta (Indonesia): Indonesia is deploying 100,000 police and soldiers to provide security for the Asian Games, the biggest event ever held in its terror attack-prone capital Jakarta, parts of which have been dramatically spruced up as the city readies to welcome tens of thousands of athletes and visitors.

The 18th Asian Games, which run until September 2, are held in Jakarta, Palembang on Sumatra, and West Java. About 12,000 athletes, support staff, officials, and 5,000 journalists are expected.

It’s the second time Indonesia has hosted the games. The first in 1962 was under the country’s founding President Sukarno, who wanted to showcase Indonesia and himself as a leader of nations who’d thrown off colonial Western rule. This time, Indonesia, projected to be among the world’s 10 biggest economies by 2030, wants to shift perceptions that it’s in the ‘too hard basket and pave the way for an eventual tilt at even bigger sports hosting baubles.

**All teams in the Top 7 ranked higher than the Philippines by FIVB, India, and the Maldives not ranked higher than the Philippines but didn’t finish higher than the team ranked higher than the Philippines by FIVB

GOLD Thailand
SILVER Indonesia
BRONZE Vietnam

4 Philippines

5 Myanmar
6 Malaysia

**Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia are ranked higher than the Philippines by FIVB, so finishing behind them is no surprise. In retrospect, how did other women’s team sports fare at SEA Games

Basketball 4th of 7 (but not being sent as per the recent article)
Rugby 4th of 5
Netball 5th of 5

 

2017 Asian Champs (host Philippines)

4 China (as expected, the top 4 in FIVB and Asian Games top 4 again in a different rotating order)
5 Vietnam
6 Chinese Taipei
7 Kazakhstan
8 Philippines
9 Iran
10 Australia 
11 Hong Kong
12 New Zealand
13 Sri Lanka
14 Maldives

 

**The Philippines did finish ahead of Hong Kong, ranked 66th. Australia and NZ did not send the strongest teams.

***Note having a good knowledge of stats and geography starting about 25 years ago or more certainly helped.
