JAKARTA (JP): The Indonesian team is plotting a coup against
defending champion Thailand in the upcoming ASEAN Student Games
to be staged in Bandar Sri Begawan from July 20 to July 26.

Secretary-general of the Indonesian Student Sports Body
Ekodjatmiko Sukarso revealed his confidence of taking the overall
title yesterday after learning that the biennial event will
feature potential medal winning sports events for Indonesia,
including pencak silat.

"There's no doubt that Indonesia reigns in pencak silat in
Southeast Asia," he said. Thailand ruled the 1994 meet in
Singapore with 52 gold, 34 silver and 16 bronze medals. Indonesia
finished a distant second with 24 golds, 38 silvers and 33
bronzes. (yan)
