Can Indonesia host the 2019 Asian Games?
The move, however, has received different reactions from the republic's athletes and sports associations.
The Indonesian Government was asked to give the matter deep thought, in terms of when to host a bigger event, given the fact that no evaluation of the 2011 SEA Games had been made.
Indonesia's number one beach volleyball player Koko Prasetyo Darkuncoro said the government needed to start preparations early to avoid the various delays which plagued the 2011 SEA Games.
"We have heard so many complaints from athletes of other countries over the quality of food served in the athletes’ village during the event.
"Morover, the menu did not have much variety and some foreign athletes even found worms in their dish! What was that about,?” he asked.
Koko, who has competed in several multi-sporting events, also regretted the bad transportation services at the recent games.
"In my past experiences during several SEA Games, Asian Games or Asian Beach Games, basic services were all well managed.
"In Thailand, they had everything we needed in the athletes’ village, so we did not have to go out [of the complex].
"Indonesians tend to procrastinate, it also happened during the SEA Games. The government needs to prepare better, because it’s us who are shamed when we’re not ready as host,” he noted.
The 2011 SEA Games was considered successful in terms of sporting achievements. However, the organisers were taunted with complaints over the lack of venue preparations which affected many events and schedules, and even the accomodation of athletes and officials.
However, Youth and Sports Minister Andi Mallarangeng reaffirmed it was about time for Indonesia, who hosted the 1962 Asian Games, to host another Asian Games.
Ministry secretary Djoko Pekik Irianto said the ministry had set about fulfilling the necessary procedures for a new competition bid.
Indonesian Cycling Association head Phanny Tanjung said, hosting international sporting games in two cities meant a lot to both organisers and participants.
"Jakarta is a well-developed city, especially in sports infrastructure. Instead of taking such a huge risk by appointing a less-developed city, why not hold it in Jakarta? It is realistic."
In the 2011 SEA Games, Indonesia organised the biennial games in two cities, namely Jakarta and Palembang.

South Sumatra bids for the 2019 Asian Games
Despite scandals and near-misses on venue deadlines, Alex claimed that the 26th SEA Games were a big success for Palembang, which co-hosted the event with Jakarta.
“With the successful event we had in Palembang, I think the central government must dare to accept the offer made by the Olympic Council of Asia, for Indonesia to host the 2019 games,” he said.
The council, which governs the event, has not formally endorsed an Indonesian bid but sports officials have said the country has the council’s backing.
The upcoming 2014 Asian Games will be in Incheon, South Korea.
India, Vietnam and Taiwan have all indicated they will bid for the 2019 event.
Indonesia last hosted the Asian Games in 1962.
Alex was adamant that Palembang would be able to improve its facilities and infrastructure to meet the higher standards of the Asian Games, which are the second largest global multi-sports event after the Olympics.
Sports Minister Andi Malaranggeng said it was too early to decide whether Indonesia would host the biggest Asian sporting events or not. “There are a lot of matters to consider,” Andi said.
