With such poor preparations, the 18th Asian Games to be held in Jakarta and Palembang this August may turn into a mess. Six months to the opening, several stadiums are not ready. Meanwhile, facilities that have been completed are not up to standards. Strenuous efforts are needed to ensure that the event, portrayed as a momentum for Indonesia's revival in the international arena, does not end up an embarrassment.

To improve performance, the government took the initiative to include non-Olympic sports, such as bridge, jet-skiing, parasailing and Indonesian martial arts. For these unrated sports, scores from judges determine the winners. The problem is that if the judges are seen to favor athletes from the host country, our contingent would be ridiculed by athletes from other countries. It would be much better for the Indonesian National Sports Committee and the Ministry of Youth and Sports to put all their efforts into producing new athletes in Olympic sport branches. Investing in training facilities for athletes in these sports would not prove in vain.
