The Indonesia, or Inasoc, was the organizing body for the games. It was also the organizing committee for the 2011 ASEAN ParaGames. The President of Inasoc is Rita Subowo, who is also the President of Indonesia Olympic Committee, and Rahmat Gobel, an Indonesian entrepreneur and the President of Panasonic Gobel Indonesia becomes the director-general.[5][6]

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.[8]

Host cities

Palembang
Jakarta
Co-hosts of 2011 Southeast Asian Games

Palembang, the capital city of South Sumatra will be the main host of the games by holding a total of 296 events,[9][10] while the nation's capital Jakarta will be the supporting co-host by staging 266 events.[11][12] As the main host, Palembang will only hold 21 of 44 sports, the rest will be held by a co-host city. Palembang will host the opening and closing ceremonies.[13]

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 organize.[14]

The 2011 ASEAN ParaGames will be hosted in Surakarta, Central Java.

Athletes village

Jakabaring, Palembang which covered the area of more than 45,000 square metres will be the athletes village (wisma atlet) during the games. It is located in front of Jakabaring Stadium (Gelora Sriwijaya).[16]

Transport

In order 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.[17] Currently the airport is served by only seven airlines and served only three other ASEAN countries, which are Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. The Inasoc is currently improving 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.[18] 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.[19] Besides, a bus rapid transit, Trans Musi, will serve Palembang and surrounding regency of Ogan Ilir and Banyuasin.

Jakarta is served by Soekarno–Hatta International Airport. On December 31, 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 is no sign these projects will be finished before November 2011.

Concerning traffic jam in Jakarta, police will block trucks from the inner city toll road between 5:00am and 10:00pm, just like during the ASEAN summit. Only shuttle buses with certain sticker will allowed to enter the 2 main games in Ancol and Gelora Bung Karno stadium and vice versa between them.[20]

Eco-policy

The government of South Sumatra declared its commitment to incorporate eco-policy with the games.[21] All venues during the games will also be free smoking area.[22]

Palembang as the first city outside Jakarta to host the SEA Games is facing some environmental problems due to development for the games.[23]

Songs and themes

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

The official theme of the event opening ceremony "Together We Will Shine" was 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.[24][25]

Marketing

The official Logo of SEA Games this time is 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.[26] Physical appearance of Garuda represents strength, while its wings epitomizes glory and splendor. The upper green strokes symbolize the islands, forests, and mountainous terrain of the Indonesia archipelago, while the blue strokes epitomizes 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.[27] This logo was introduced during SEA Games Preparation Ministerial Meeting in Jakarta, December 3, 2010,[28] and launched to the public in a celebration of 300 days before the opening ceremony, January 15, 2011 at Teater Tanah Airku, Taman Mini Indonesia Indah.[29]

Mascot

The official mascots for 2011 SEA Games in Indonesia are called Modo and Modi, a pair of Komodo dragons.[30] 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 was 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.[31] "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 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.[32] Rajawali is an Indonesian hawk. Then both Sumatran elephants and Javan hawk eagles were discarded in favour of Komodo dragons. The chosing of Komodo dragons for the Games' mascots was in line with an Indonesian effort to promote Komodo National Park as a New 7 Wonders of Nature candidate.

Concerns and controversies

Event cut down

INASOC (The Indonesia SEA Games Organizing 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.[56]

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, petanque, and table tennis. Most critics come out after the host country decided to remove the women's football. On the other hand. Indonesia includes new disciplines, some of them are considered unpopular by other participating countries, such as contract bridge, parachuting, roller sports, wall climbing and vovinam.[57] 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.[58]

The strategy to maximize 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 petanque, 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 rejects the appeal from Olympic Council of Malaysia. The National Sports Council of Malaysia is mulling 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."[59]

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.[60] 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).[60][61] 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[60] and also sent a document of apologizing to Thai Pencak Silat Federation.[62]

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 in order to keep ahead in the point.[63] 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.[64] 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.[65]

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.[66] Several others were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
