        "summary": "The Indonesian House of Representatives' Commission X has called on the provincial governments of West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara to coordinate their budget plans for revitalising sports arenas for the 2028 National Sports Week (PON) with the central government. The two provinces have each prepared approximately Rp250 billion for the upgrades, but the House insists on central coordination to ensure efficiency, in line with President Prabowo Subianto's directive against new construction. The event is also seen as a key opportunity to boost local economies through increased activity from athletes, officials, and supporters.",

Lalu Hadrian Irfani, Deputy Chairman\nof Commission X, stated on Tuesday at the DPR building in Jakarta that\neach regional government has prepared a budget of approximately Rp250\nbillion for revitalising the competition venues to be used during PON\n2028. \u201cFrom this Rp500 billion budget, we are asking the governors of\nNTB and NTT to coordinate with the central government, including the\nMinistry of Public Works and Public Housing, the Ministry of Youth and\nSports, and other relevant ministries,\u201d he said. According to him, the\nquadrennial sporting event must be carried out efficiently, in\naccordance with the directive of President Prabowo Subianto. \u201cIn line\nwith the President\u2019s directive, there will be no construction of new\narenas. What will be done is the revitalisation or rehabilitation of\nexisting arenas,\u201d he said. He noted that sports which lack adequate\nfacilities in NTB and NTT will be contested in Jakarta. He also stressed\nthe importance of inter-regional synergy in organising the PON, as the\nevent serves as a momentum for developing high-achieving athletes who\nare expected to bring honour to Indonesia on the international stage.\nFurthermore, Lalu reminded the regional governments, particularly those\nin NTB and NTT, to leverage the PON momentum to stimulate the local\neconomy. \u201cMSMEs can grow, the real sector can move, and the economy in\nboth provinces can improve because athletes, officials, and supporters\nfrom all over Indonesia will come,\u201d he said. During a press conference\nfollowing the meeting, Minister of Youth and Sports Dito Ariotedjo\nstated that the government has decided not to build new arenas for PON\n2028 as part of budget efficiency measures. Therefore, the host regional\ngovernments are expected to maximise the improvement and revitalisation\nof existing facilities to meet competition standards.<\/p>",
