JAKARTA (JP): State Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports
Hayono Isman said that the 19th Southeast Asian Games to be
staged here in October next year should be an entertaining event.

"The Games should also serve as an occasion to develop
sportsmanship, instead of a place for violence, as happened after
recent soccer matches," Hayono told a seminar in Semarang,
Central Java, Monday.

Hayono insisted that Indonesian athletes must live up to the
expectations of the country's 195 million people by regaining the
overall title that Thailand won in 1995. (yan)
