The 2019 Asian Games (also known as the XVIII Asiad) is the largest sporting event in Asia and is governed by Olympic Council of Asia. The selection process is yet to begin, however several countries already announced their interest in bidding this Games.

Hanoi, Vietnam

Afterbowed out in favour of Incheon for the 2014 Asian Games, Vietnam is set to place a bid to host the 2018 event in Hanoi. Nguyen Hong Minh, vice president of Vietnam Olympic Committee said that they have credibility in hosting the large events after the successful organisation of the 2003 Southeast Asian Games and also the APEC meeting in November 2006.

Manila, Philippines

The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) plans to bid for the 2019 Asian Games in the capital city of Manila. In a visit to Guangzhou in June 2009, Philippine Sports Commission chairman Harry Angping was impressed with the infrastructure being built and the economic benefits it would bring to the city. He said he would try to convince president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to bid for the 2018 Asian Games. The country was the host of 1954 Asian Games and has successfully hosted the Southeast Asian Games on 3 occasions - in 1981, 1991 and 2005. The country will host again in 2019.

Singapore City, Singapore

The Singapore Sports Council is considering bidding to host the 2018 Asian Games following the establishment of the Singapore Grand Prix and the city state's securing of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, the inaugural edition of these games. Singapore will also host the 2013 Southeast Asian Games, whilst the city is developing a world-class Sports Hub which expected to be open in 2011.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

President of Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), Sheikh Fahad Al-Sabah stated that Dubai is considering placing a bid for the 2018 edition of the games. Previously, Dubai was to bid for the 2014 event, however they withdrew because they did not see it as a priority.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

On August 7th 2009 it is reported that Malaysia will bid to host the 2019 Asian Games.

This was announced by Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek who said his ministry would inform the Cabinet about this to get its approval for the bid.

"Malaysia has the experience to host world-class games like when we hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1998. I believe with that experience Malaysia can host the Asian Games," he told reporters here Friday.

Even though I dislike the new one-year-ahead-of-the-Summer-Olympics date because the first Asian Games were held in 1951 instead of 1950, I would like to see Kuala Lumpur host an Asian Games. They have already hosted the Southeast Asian Games and the Commonwealth Games, and an Asian Games would put the city one step closer to hosting an Olympics.If Kuala Lumpur fails in this attempt, they can try for the 2022/3 Asian Games. And they can bid for every successive Asian games until they win the right.

Olympic Council To Finalise Calendar Changes
Tuesday, June 30, 2009

KUALA LUMPUR, June 30 (Bernama) -- The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) will finalise proposed changes to its competitions calendar which include re-scheduling its flagship event, Asian Games, to a five-year cycle, instead of the current four years at its 28th General Assembly in Singapore on Friday.

The OCA Sports Committee, at its meeting in the island republic on Monday, proposed that the Asian Games be held in 2019 -- a year before the Summer Olympic Games -- instead of the traditional two years before the Olympics.

According to the OCA website, the proposed changes include the merging of the Asian Indoor Games and the Asian Martial Arts Games into one event, held every four years.

This would leave the OCA with five events, as opposed to six in the current schedule.

According to the website, the final approval of the changes could only be given by the General Assembly, which meets on July 3.

With events already pencilled through to the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, South Korea, the new calendar would take effect from 2016, according to the website.

Sports committee chairman Wei Jizhong said, the new cycle would alleviate the logistical burden on the OCA's 45 national olympic committees and result in only one multi-sports event per year -- except in the year of an Asian Winter Games, when there would be two.

In general, the OCA would try and restrict one sport to one game but in special circumstances such as beach volleyball, the same sport could be played in two different games, he said.

"Beginning 2016, we will use the new cycle, following studies and discussions among committee members, and with the OCA technical department.

"This proposal will go to the Executive Board and in general, we accept, with some comments. We will say the Sports Committee agreed in principle with all these proposals, regarding the distribution of sports and the cycle," he added.

The OCA will hold three events this year, namely the first Asian Youth Games in Singapore, first Asian Martial Arts Games in Thailand and the third Asian Indoor Games in Vietnam.

The proposed new cycle, including International Olympic Committee events, would be as follows:

2011: Asian Winter Games (Astana-Almaty, Kazakhstan).

2012: Olympic Games (London), Asian Beach Games (Haiyang, China).

2013: Asian Youth Games (Incheon, South Korea), Asian Indoor-Martial Arts Games (Doha, Qatar).

2014: Youth Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, Asian Games (Incheon, South Korea).

2015: Asian Beach Games (to be decided).

2016: Olympic Games; Asian Indoor-Martial Arts Games (TBD).

2017: Asian Winter Games (TBD), Asian Youth Games (TBD).

2018: Youth Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games; Asian Beach Games (TBD).

2019: Asian Games (TBD).

2020: Olympic Games, Asian Indoor-Martial Arts Games (TBD).

The two OCA events next year will be the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China, in November and the second Asian Beach Games in Muscat, Oman, in December.

It's 2018 Asian Games, get that right! Oh they're proposing a change I see...

I do hope Manila gets it as a test event to see if they can host something as big as this or the Olympics.
It'll only remotely work of course, if they have a dedicated "Olympic Park" with an odd 70,000 seater main stadium, a new arena, velodrome and aquatics center at the least. Add the hockey field too, then use the venues used for the 2005 SEA games, assuming that they're easily accessible from rail.

Seven disciplines cut from 2014 line-up
12 July 2009
SCMP

The Olympic Council of Asia has decided to reduce the number of disciplines at the quadrennial Asian Games to 35 at the 2014 event in South Korea.

Randhir Singh, general-secretary of the OCA, said last night the council made the decision to trim the event at its general assembly in Singapore on Friday. The Asian Games is the biggest multiple-sports event outside of the Olympics and will feature 42 different sports in next year's edition in Guangzhou.

"The OCA felt the Asian Games had grown too big, the decision to put a cap on the number of sports will come into effect from 2014," Singh said. From 2014, the Asian Games would feature "a maximum of seven sports outside the Olympic schedule", he said.

The OCA also decided to change the cycle of the Asian Games.

After the 2014 games in Incheon, South Korea, the next edition will be staged in 2019. They will then continue to be held a year ahead of the Olympics. The host city for the 2019 Asian Games is still to be decided.

Several disciplines from the Asian Games roster of 2010 will now be moved to other continental multiple-sport games, such as the Asian Indoor Games, Asian Martial Arts Games and Asian Beach Games.

Actually,I think Kuala Lumpur is the best choice we have but Vietnam is the interesting choice and I'd like to see Asian games in Vietnam for once.:banana:

Dubai will put on a mind blowing spectacle for obvious reasons.

i vote for kuala lumpur,my country.for it massive infastructure n exprience for multisport event.Kuala lumpur also has bid for asia games 2006 doha n 2010 Guangzhou,but lose:ohno:

Give a try to Philippines, maybe can find a unique means of opening and closing ceremony since the entertainment talent of the Filipinos are well known in the world.

I design the new stadium in the Philippines the best in the world.

KL's stadium looks awesome, considering it was built to host the Commonwealth Games.

Interesting how Malaysia has never hosted the Asiad. I think it's time. However, Singapore is a huge contender.

Philippines still have the chance.

^^Please this is international thread, please speak english..If the Philippines don't try when do we need to try. Like what I have said, give a try.

@ Nazrey,
I understand your post, every nation have it's own pride but not to exaggerate.

I prefer the countries that never host the Asiad so most choices are okay for me except for the Philippines which have once hosted this game in 1954.

I personally prefer Singapore.

Well anyone has it's freedom to choose it's choices, I still prefer to try again in Philippines, we can still catch up what we have lost......

Well anyone has it's freedom to choose it's choices, I still prefer to try again in Philippines, we can still catch up what we have lost......

what you have lost!?..

Well the world knows what we lost, and we try to retrieve it back, I think nothing's wrong with that, hope we succeed, The Glorious Philippines........

No one know you lost! so need to sharing here!!?!

I have no time to elaborate for it, I think you have more time to find it since you are too active in this forum and it doesn't matter what is it, this thread is for us to share our opinion of whom do we prefer for this bidding.

Malaysia to bid for 2019 Asian Games
August 07, 2009 17:33 PM
Source: http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newssport.php?id=431020

KUALA LUMPUR, Fri: Malaysia will bid to host the 2019 Asian Games.

This was announced by Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek who said his ministry would inform the Cabinet about this to get its approval for the bid.

"Malaysia has the experience to host world-class games like the Commonwealth Games we hosted in 1998. I believe with that experience Malaysia can host the Asian Games," he told reporters here today.

Ahmad Shabery said this after attending the officiating of the Malaysian Sports Industry Convention 2009 which was done by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak here today.

He said the various international standard sports facilities at the Bukit Jalil Sports Complex will also be a basis for the bid process.

Ahmad Shabery said the Asian Games were more prestigious than the Commonwealth Games.

He hoped that all quarters would come together and cooperate with the government to ensure that Malaysia won the bid to bring the games to Kuala Lumpur.

The 2010 Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, China, and the 2014 games in Incheon, South Korea.

On another development, Ahmad Shabery said the area around the National Sports Complex in Bukit Jalil will be developed into a one-stop centre for all sports activities including having stores that sold sports equipment.

"The ministry has appointed a consultant to study the proposal to make the sports complex area a sports city," he said. -- BERNAMA

MALAYSIA FOR 2019 ASIAD?

Federal government show interest in hosting the Asian Games

MALAYSIA may bid for the 2018 Asian Games. Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) president Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Jaafar confirmed the federal government is considering the bid. While plans are not concrete yet, Tunku Imran stressed the policy-makers will have to decide quickly.

“We understand the government is interested in hosting a regional event and the next available meet would be the 2019 Asian Games,” said Tunku Imran.

“If it is true, then we have got to be serious and start preparing by looking at the inventory before the cut-off period in 2011. There are a lot of factors to look into — from expenditure, facilities, transport and security.”

Malaysia lost the race to host the 2006 Asian Games to Qatar while the government rejected plans to bid for the 2010 edition citing high expenditure.

It was then estimated the government would have to spend about US$366.128 million (RM1.3 billion) to host the Games.

The Chinese city of Guangzhou is the host for next year’s Asiad. Tunku Imran admitted the government must be willing to spend big in the build-up to the bid as evident in the no-holds-barred tussle with Qatar for the 2006 edition. Qatar won after promising large allocation of funds.

“We heard Dubai has shown great interest in hosting the 2019 Games. Thus, it is clear we have to come out with a lot of resources.”

Tunku Imran, however, was quick to point out that if the country planned to host another extravagant affair, it would need to plan and construct facilities. Malaysia hosted the 1998 Commonwealth Games. Sadly, several facilities have been under-utilised since.

In contrast, the organisers of the 2007 Korat Sea Games built facilities within their public varsities to enable students to use facilities of international standards.

“There were a few disappointments after we hosted the Commonwealth Games. The facilities are under-used. The Putra Stadium seems to be hosting more concerts than sporting events.

“Another big opportunity we missed was when we had so many broadcasting equipments during the Games but it all went to waste as we never utilised them to establish a sports channel. Even the International Broadcasting Centre at Angkasapuri is not fully used.

“We must ensure that everything we build has a legacy,” added Tunku Imran.

Mind twisting poll hehehehe, I am going back already

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — In announcing that Kuala Lumpur will bid to host the 2019 Asian Games, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek declared that the Asian Games is more prestigious than the Commonwealth Games.

“Malaysia has the experience to host world-class games like when we hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1998. I believe with that experience Malaysia can host the Asian Games, which is the more prestigious of the two,” he told reporters here today.

Ahmad Shabery said his ministry would inform the Cabinet about the intention to get its approval for the bid.

He said this after attending the officiating of the Malaysian Sports Industry Convention 2009 which was done by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak here today.

He said the various international standard sports facilities at the Bukit Jalil Sports Complex will also be a basis for the bid process.

He hoped that all quarters would come together and cooperate with the government to ensure that Malaysia won the bid to bring the games to Kuala Lumpur.

The 2010 Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, China and the 2014 games in Incheon, South Korea.

“The ministry has appointed a consultant to study the proposal to make the sports complex area a sports city,” he said.

Kuala Lumpur had previously bid to host the 2006 Asian Games but narrowly lost in the last hurdle to the city of Doha, in Qatar, amid accusations of underhanded tactics used by the Arab nation in securing votes from member countries. – Bernama

Hope the next ASIAD, Filipino Artist like Lea Salonga gives another glimpse of this memorable event.

It goes both ways. Experienced cities may have a natural advantage and are more likely to be capable of hosting a flawless set of Games, but that may also mean these events will never leave Tokyo, Beijing, or Seoul. On the other hand, the AOC may be willing to let a fresh novice tackle the Games as they will leave behind a major legacy. Perhaps in Asia there is room for more exploration than the Olympic Games.

Some world sport events since '90

I think whoever win in this bidding, it's a good chance for this country to show it's best for this prestigious event. It's up to the committee to balance it's decision depending on the presentation and capabilities of every bidder.

There are quite a lot of Middle Eastern countries. If they pool together like what happened to Doha a few years back, I doubt East Asia's fragmented votes can beat them!

Wah if it happens, Philippines will host two events at the same year, seems a tough commitment, maybe have to sacrifice one, I prefer ASIAD.

Like in Doha, a small country but how they handle it, it's really amazing....

post #22 tolonglah hapus...ITU BUAT MALU MALAYSIA TAK PERLU SHOW OFF MACAM TU...aku sendiri rasa malu pls pls!! aku pun nak hapus post aku di taib di sini..hanya beri tahu kamu dulu!! lagi pun tak perlu taib bahasa lagi di sini!! Opss we are sorry to type bahasa!
"show of"what u mean??i thougth everyone is free to give their opinion,..n to choose..not time to shame with my own country..peace

I prefer the countries that never host the Asiad so most choices are okay for me except for the Philippines which have once hosted this game in 1954.

malaysia never host asian games..give it chance..we will proof..manila quiet good.i love both..:cheers:

Like in Doha, a small country but how they handle it, it's really amazing....

That's different. Qatar is a wealthy nation.

There are quite a lot of Middle Eastern countries. If they pool together like what happened to Doha a few years back, I doubt East Asia's fragmented votes can beat them!

This is right
Under the regulations of the OCA, a candidate which gains half of the available votes will automatically be selected as the host, and the remaining rounds of voting will be cancelled. When Doha gained 22 out of 41 votes this meant they were selected to host the 2006 Asian Games. Most of Qatar's votes came from the unanimous support from West Asian countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Asia)
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Asian_Games

It really depends how East Asia organizes its votes. Even if the West Asia "bloc" can pull something off, they can only do so if the East is divisive to begin with.

yup, thats what also i heared of. doha won by a big majority and all of them are from middle east countries. but you know, it worth the results.

I'm just voting No.19 for KL!! :cheers:

Vote for Dubai^^

Malaysia lost 2 times for bidding already..please give a chance to KL again! :)

From a financial point of view, I think Dubai is the most capable to pull off a spectacular games. With so much construction going on, they may have a strong case to build quite a lot of state-of-the-art sports facilities.

Don't think the other cities can likely beat that.

Why Philippines?
We need this to encourage our country to rise up again in sports.... We need this because we know we can rise up again from a deep slumber in sports.... and that we have something to be proud as a nation.... This is also one way to encourage our athletes to excel and be one of the best.... Our nation can offer a lot.... honestly in terms of being a world class citizen we are the best in Asia.... And this is also one way of showing our neighbors what we can offer to them... our friendliness and hospitality is the best in the world.... You are all welcome to Experience our nation.... Welcome to Manila 2019 Asian Games the Island Games..... MABUHAY!!!!!!

Dubai 100% for a strong economy and powerful infrastructure country in 2018.

I vote for Dubai.
Manila??based on what I've seen in SEA GAMES 2005 I think manila will become the last choice for 2019.

NEW DELHI, INDIA SHUD B GOOD FOR 2019:
Now that OCA has decided to have 28 Olympic + 7 Olympic Sports, the burden wud b decreased on hosts and non athletic sports like Billiards, Chess etc. can b avoided.
Going back to Delhi again. As the OCA president also preferred considering the already available infrastructure by then by hosting the CWG 2010, Delhi shud b comfortable for 2019.
i. Athletics Opening & Closing Ceremonies - JLN Stadium - 60K (Meeting FIFA & IOC Stds)
ii. Swimming/Diving/Water Polo/Syn Swimming - Talkatora Indoor Aquatic Complex - 6K (Meeting FINA & IOC Stds)
iii. Football - Delhi Univeristy, Ambedkar Stadium and few more with greater than 40K
iv. Hockey - National Stadium - 25K - 2010 WC Host ( Meeting IOC Stds)
v. Gymnastics/Volleyball/Rhythmic - Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium with sound proof separation screen 16K & NOIDA Indoor Stadium - 4K ( Meeting IOC Stds)
vi. Boxing - Talkatora Indoor Stadium - 3.5K
vii. Wrestling/Judo - Indira Gandhi Indoor Wrestling Hall - 5K
viii.Basketball - Thyagaraja Indoor Stadium - 6K
ix. Badminton/Squash - Siri Fort Indoor Stadium - 5K
x. Table Tennis/Taekwondo - Yamuna Indoor Stadium - 5K
xi. Weightlifting - JLN Stadium Weightlifting Auditorium - 2.5K
xii. Karate/Wushu - Indoor Halls at Exhibition Centre - To be Developed
xiii.Sepak Thakraw/Fencing - Indoor Halls at Exhibition Centre - To be Developed
xiv. Tennis - DLTA Complex - 6K Centre Court
xv. Shooting - Karni Singh Ranges
xvi. Archery - India Gate Lawns
xvii.Rowing/Sailing/Canoeing- Kayaking - 3 Water Races - To be developed xviii. Equestrian - Chatrsal Stadium
xix. Golf - Delhi Golf Club - USD 3 Mln European PGA Event Host
xx. Beach Volleyball/Triathlon - To be developed on Water Fronts
xxi. Kabbadi - Will be in Indian Outdoor way in the Karnail SIngh Stadium - 25K
xxii. Handball - New Indoor Hall To be dveloped
All the ones in Bold Red need to be done newly. These wud hardly cost as per Sporting Infra around USD 50 Mln max. The Training venues need to be put up which are already up n ready for CWG 2010.
So if Delhi enters the Race it can easily sweep it. 2014 was a halfhearted bid from India.
In addition, Delhi wud be having a swankk New Airport with 80 to 90 Mln handling Capacity. The Public Transport wud be around 180 to 200 Miles of State of the Art Metro.
So expenditure & organisation wise Delhi wud be the easiest and less laborious due to the already existing Infrastructure rather eyeing for the 2020 or 2024 Summer Games as most of the Indoor & Outdoor faccilities meet the IOC Stds.

I think this website says that Vietnam will host ASIAD. I guess ASIAD is the same as Asian Games?! I'm not sure because I don't understand very much.

It's from the September 13th, but then again it mentioned 2018 as the host year. So it might be not true.

http://www3.tuoitre.com.vn/thethao/Index.aspx?ArticleID=336254&ChannelID=399

For New Delhi's bid, Ambedkar Stadium can't host any fooball matches in the Asian Games. I am planning to come up with a 40K rectangular stadium and if it is constructed Ambedkar will be demoed.

The Asian olympic Council changed the calendar so that Asian Games dont fall on the same yr as FIFA WC. Originally the I Asian Games were held in such yr, 1951. But later Manila II edition started with 54.

Moreover the Asian Games were called Asiatic Games from 54 to 66.
66 to 82 they were called Asiad, from 86 they hav been called Asian Games under teh auspices of Olympic Council of Asia.

The forum might hav started with Vietnam. But seriously Vietnam is far from ready for such a spectacle.

For New Delhi's bid, Ambedkar Stadium can't host any fooball matches in the Asian Games. I am planning to come up with a 40K rectangular stadium and if it is constructed Ambedkar will be demoed.
Cud b good but as u know Delhi/India Football following is low so better hav a smaller stadium with filled up stands. Anyway a 40K Football Stadium will help in the needs for Olympic bid too.

I am sure India and Delhi will be ready for 2019 Asian Games if they are selected. I believe that Delhi will learn a lot from Hosting 2010 Commenwealth Games. The experience and revenue will ensure the success of 2019 Asian Games if they are selected:banana::banana:

I'm really hoping that the government will consider to bid for this games. It's already 10 years already since we had organized the '98 Commonwealth Games. We have lost the bidding twice :ohno:. UAE especially the Dubai Emirate is a rich nation (same goes to Qatar) obviously they make this event looks very grand. But how about giving a chance to a small economy country like Malaysia :). We've managed to handle Kuala Lumpur 98 Commonwealth Games perfectly well:). Selamat Datang 2019 KL Asian Games.:cheers:

I vote for KL....................

kuala lumpur should be host for asian games:banana:
-malaysia truly asia-

go kl go..maybe kl host.n main stadium at putrajaya
kl2019asian games
kl2020olympic games:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Although we're "truly" ready...I dun think that KL will get bid for the Games of the 32rd Olympiad but still be an applicant city in 2020 and we just need to spread our strong vision of 2020. Let's enjoy to see our venue (hope to be one of the final candidate city)! However maybe KL will lose at all (Olympic&Asian Games)..bidding the game is not at all for the nation...just enjoy the games of the humankind! :)

it's been said the Guangzhou 2010 will be the largest Asian games ever with 42 sports, and 2014 one with only 35 sports. The Olympic Council of Asia has set the benchmark on the number of sports after the 2006 Asian Games. Only 35 sports are allowed, with 28 of them will be Olympic sports and the other seven will be added as negotiated with the organizer.

maybe the time for south east asia host the game...but i think south asia has high chance to win..and delhi will be a favorite candidate...

1998: Bangkok, thailand ( south east asia)
2002: Busan, south korea ( east asia)
2006: Doha, Qatar ( middle east)
2010: Guangzhou, China ( east asia )
2014: incheon, Korea ( east asia)
2019: kuala lumpur?, manila?, hanoi?, singapore?, delhi?

2019.........South Asia turn likes Delhi.

2023.........Middle East likes Dubai

2027.........South East Asia likes KL, Manila and Hanoi.

???????????

1998: Bangkok, thailand ( south east asia)

Although we're "truly" ready...I dun think that KL will get bid for the Games of ...humankind! :)

You know what, KL got kicked out in the 2010 YOG bid in the first round itself with a rating of 3.2/10.

It fared poorly in the culture, eductaion, hospitality sectors in the IOC evaluation and did not even make the second round I mean pre-voting second.

Jus having a Bukit Jalil will not help. You should have those traditional values and an identity in the World to acknowledge you for what you are. IOC/International community even criticised for banning YOGA which is one of the foremost routines for relaxation and stress relief for athletes. So KL pls straighten your act and then may be try for something big.

Note: Everyone acknowledges the fatc that 95% of the Bukit Jalil Natnl STadium is not used and the maintenance costs are eating up the local authorities. Even the tall Petronas Towers are still 1/3s empty with hard monetary needs to maintain. It is not just constructing something big, one should see whether it can be sustained.

:nuts::nuts::nuts:.... And u r from Rio. Do you know the central asian countries without googling.
Grow up don't comment on Asia, sitting thus far.

Asian Games are huge effort with 35 sports more than Summer Games and almost 10K athletes 80% of Summer Games and the venues run into 100. 28 Olympic Sports 7 Non Olympic Sports.

I dont think any of the Central Asian Nations have such infrastructure or ardious desire for this.

Even Singapore may not be capable of doing this, the whole city would come to a standstill.

Note: Everyone acknowledges the fatc that 95% of the Bukit Jalil Natnl STadium is not used and the maintenance costs are eating up the local authorities. Even the tall Petronas Towers are still 1/3s empty with hard monetary needs to maintain. It is not just constructing something big, one should see whether it can be sustained. Taking these into account, KL again pls straighten your act.

where u get the fact?..petronas now build another skyscrapers (Lot C or carigali tower) an office tower next to petronas tower..how can they build a new office tower if the current tower is 1/3 empty?

DUbai..

where u get the fact?..petronas now build another ..... tower if the current tower is 1/3 empty?

See there you go again, another construction which will be left underutilized, the five star hotel room occupancy in KL is less than 70% and these lavishly built mansion type building just for some zealous ego satisfaction where as the truth is that there is no utlisation of it. Refer to Reuters archive articles for this. You claim the usage after 11 yrs of construction. The rents were reduced by half for filling up the floors in the tower which Petronas did not use making big dent in the Maintenance budgets.

It is understood and acceptable, if Dubai goes for such things since they have big clients like Beckham, Robert Redford, Madonna etc to fill up the luxurious Palm etc. due to their proximity to Mediteranean coast and their Cosmopoliatan culture and freedom of expression in that nation. Just aping some other nations without realising whether the structure can be used to its full potential is like a superflous thing.

Do you say that Bukit Jalil is not a white elephant, the Indonesian ISL matches reap in more crowds 35K and above, but Bukit Jalil was half empty during English Club teams visit. Why was this big capcity built for?:nuts::nuts::nuts:

Despite all the instances mentioned you don't seem to accept the truth.

Classic Example:

No Malaysian Driver or Team in F1 ever. This is after tour packages to Sepang in the whole of Asean. See Singapore, they used something within their confines not a bedizen approach. Even US walked out withdrawing Indianapolis as they found their stake/returns was too low and felt they should not be a part just for an acclaim that they can host F1.

SIC: 1Malaysia F1 Team HQ Will Include Wind Tunnel
September 16, 2009 15:50 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 (Bernama) -- Sepang International Circuit (SIC), a joint partnership involving the government and a consortium of Malaysian entrepreneurs for the 1Malaysia Formula (F1) One Team project, has allocated between 8,000 and 12,000 hectres for the development of the Made-in-Malaysia F1 team headquarters.

SIC chief executive officer (CEO) Ahmad Razlan Ahmad Razali told Bernama the headquarters, to be located at the circuit, would be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including a wind-tunnel, to test the aerodynamics of the Malaysian-made machines.

He said the headquarters comprising an office, reseach & development (R&D), manufacturing, technical centre and other related departments would be fully functional, two years after the preliminary works expected to begin by the middle of next year.

"SIC have chosen a suitable site for the team headquarters which will be located at the parking area before the tunnel, to enter the podium building.

"But it's all in the preliminary stages. All the parties involved will have to sit together after the Hari Raya and submit whatever plans we have to the motorsports governing body, the Federation of International Automobile (FIA) for endorsement," he told Bernama here Wednesday.

Ahmad Razlan admitted, the cost to build the team headquarters at SIC would involve millions or may be, billions of ringgit, but could not reveal the actual cost because it was still in the preliminary phase.

SIC would only build the physical infrastructure but the hardware and software of the projects would be decided by other parties, he said.

Ahmad Razlan said cooperation between SIC and Air Asia began a few months ago when Asia's low-budget airlines boss Datuk Tony Fernandes told him about his ambitious dream to set up an all Malaysian F1 team.

For SIC, the idea will not only enhance the level of the company's involvement in the motorsports industry but also show Malaysia's direct involvelment with F1.

"This is a new chapter for SIC...as organiser of Malaysian F1 race to the niche Home of Motorsports and now, we can boast that we're the hub for motorsports in Asia," said Ahmad Rzalan.

Asked if the Malaysian-made machines would be on the grid before the Australian Grand Prix in March next year -- the first round of the 2010 F1 calendar -- he said the mean-machines would be in Malaysia before the race.

"I can assure all Malaysian that the 1Malaysia F1 Team machines will be in this country before the Australian race, most probably for testing at the 5.543km Sepang Circuit.

"We're not building the car from scratch. We already have the Lotus technology for the engines and within three month, the car is fit to be on the road. The Malaysian car has enough time to make a pinacle for the motorsports industry. That, I can assure them," he said.

He said the team's technical director Mike Gascoyne had over 20 years experience in F1, and previously performed the same role for the Force India, Toyota, Renault and Jordan Formula One Teams.

Meanwhile, National Sports Institute director-general Datuk Dr Ramlan Abd Aziz said the institute was willing to share its expertise with the budding F1 drivers.

He said former national F1 driver Alex Yoong used to undergo physical training under the institute's supervision as F1 drivers needed to be physically and mentally ready.

"If necessary, we will set up a team comprising experts to help in the training.

"However, before we provide any assistance, we must get the green light from the youth and sports ministry," added Dr Ramlan.

Nation's F1 car undergoes tests
Plans for debut next year on schedule

1MALAYSIA, ONE CAR: The 1Malaysia F1 team car at the Lotus base in
Norfolk, England. Fitted with Cosworth engines and Xtrac gear

ALL systems are in place for 1Malaysia F1 Team to make its debut next year.

In an exclusive interview with Malay Mail yesterday, team principal Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said the car is being tested at the Lotus base in Norfolk, England.

He said the test crash models were also being built.

Fernandes provided several exclusive pictures of the car being worked on.

“Everything is in place and we’re ahead of schedule. The car is being tested in the wind tunnel in Norfolk and things are looking great,” he said.

Fernandes, who is also the founder of low-cost airline AirAsia, confirmed the team had signed a deal with engine manufacturers Cosworth and gearbox designers Xtrac.

“Our cars will be powered by Cosworth engines while we’re working with Xtrac for the gearbox.”

Malay Mail also received the latest design progress report from MGI Motorsports. The report stated that meetings were held with bearing supplier (Cerobear) to define the front and rear wheel bearings to the design of the power steering rack and cooling system.

Fernandes, however, did not name potential drivers for the team, better known as Team Lotus in Europe.

“Yes we did interview two drivers during the Singapore GP (last month) but I can’t reveal the names,” he added.
Nevertheless, Toyota’s seasoned driver Jarno Trulli has been highly speculated to take the main seat with London-based Fairuz Fauzy being named the second driver. Trulli has a long working relationship with Lotus technical director Mike Gascoyne and the partnership could be revived.

Gascoyne is scheduled to make a pit-stop in Kuala Lumpur early next week.

“Gascoyne will help us sort out things here, including setting up the team’s base in Sepang. He will also start planning the Malaysian Motorsports Excellence Centre in Sepang.”

Fernandes said the team’s focus at the moment was ensuring the car and crew were ready for the 2010 season.

Meanwhile, there were about 6,500 applications for various positions with the F1 team — ranging from technical to human resource.

MB: Stadium roof defects known before Sukma

KUALA TERENGGANU, June 3 –The Gong Badak Stadium roof construction defects were discovered before the 12th Malaysia Games’ (Sukma) opening in May last year, said Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said.

Prior to Sukma’s opening, Ahmad said, he had noticed the roof was uneven and told the Public Works Department (PWD) about it.


“The PWD had promised to rectify it after Sukma. That was the assurance given to me,” he said, adding that, he had voiced his concern again to Terengganu PWD deputy director Ghazali Hashim three weeks ago.


Don't you think that the roof of the stadium looks unsymmetry at the first time (telah hairan sangat selama ni!)...Really puzzle!

To determine the cause of the roof collapse >

UK consultant to probe stadium roof cave-in
2009/07/04
KUALA TERENGGANU, Sat:

The Terengganu Government has appointed a consultant from the United Kingdom to determine the cause of the roof collapse at the RM292 million Stadium, near Gong Badak last month.

Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said said the consultant, whose costs would be borne by the state government, was expected to submit results of the investigation in three months.

"We agreed to appoint a firm from the UK, which has a branch in Kuala Lumpur, to conduct investigations on the roof collapse," he said here today.

He said the state government had agreed to appoint the private consultant because it felt that both the central and state governments needed to conduct investigations.

In the incident at 9.30am on June 2, the stadium was almost destroyed when about 60 per cent of its roof structure collapsed. - BERNAMA

No Malaysian Driver or Team in F1 ever. This is after tour packages to Sepang in the whole of Asean. See Singapore, they used something within their confines not a bedizen approach. Even US walked out withdrawing Indianapolis as they found their stake/returns was too low and felt they should not be a part just for an acclaim that they can host F1.
India is the only Asian Country other than Japan to have had an F1 Driver or an F1 Team. But still, they feel these are preponderous.

PM Datuk Seri Mohd Najib and Datuk Ahmad Shabery (2nd from right) at the
officiating of the Malaysian Sports Industry Convention 2009 in Kuala Lumpur today.
- Bernama pic

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — In announcing that Kuala Lumpur will bid to host the 2019 Asian Games, Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek declared that the Asian Games is more prestigious than the Commonwealth Games.

“Malaysia has the experience to host world-class games like when we hosted the Commonwealth Games in 1998. I believe with that experience Malaysia can host the Asian Games, which is the more prestigious of the two,” he told reporters here today.

Ahmad Shabery said his ministry would inform the Cabinet about the intention to get its approval for the bid.

He said this after attending the officiating of the Malaysian Sports Industry Convention 2009 which was done by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak here today.

He said the various international standard sports facilities at the Bukit Jalil Sports Complex will also be a basis for the bid process.

He hoped that all quarters would come together and cooperate with the government to ensure that Malaysia won the bid to bring the games to Kuala Lumpur.

The 2010 Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou, China and the 2014 games in Incheon, South Korea.

On another development, Ahmad Shabery said the area around the National Sports Complex in Bukit Jalil will be developed into a one-stop centre for all sports activities including having stores that sold sports equipment.

“The ministry has appointed a consultant to study the proposal to make the sports complex area a sports city,” he said.

Kuala Lumpur had previously bid to host the 2006 Asian Games but narrowly lost in the last hurdle to the city of Doha, in Qatar, amid accusations of underhanded tactics used by the Arab nation in securing votes from member countries. – Bernama

Normally, the one's boasting a lot do miss some things and end up losing.
Whereas unsung heroes like Manila always spring a surprise.

Note: In 1954 Manila hosted the Asian Games and changed the course as Even Year Football WC otherwise it should have been 1955.
Now Manila have a chance to correct that mistake to bring it back to the original Odd Year before Summer Games, 2019.

KL should be OK for Asian Games in 2019. Definitely NO for its Summer Olympics bid 2020.

The reason is KL already has venues for most of Asian games sports. But I guess they would have to build new ones for the Games.

It all depends on the govt's commitment during that time.

dude that was ages ago... i guess it's only fitting and proper for the Philippines to try hosting the event once again... :)I prefer the countries that never host the Asiad so most choices are okay for me except for the Philippines which have once hosted this game in 1954.

-edit-

Why don't Indonesia bid for Asian Games 2019?

becoz they don't interested i think..:hug:

I voted for KL, but I think it's time for New Dehli.s

South East Asia just held Asian Game 1998 in Bangkok
East Asia in Pusan Guangzhou and Icheon

Why don't Indonesia bid for Asian Games 2019?

probably because Indonesia is focusing on FIFA WC 2022 bidding.

still vote for Dubai.

HONG KONG - Games springboard for bid to host 2019 Asiad
The Standard
Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Hong Kong's successful staging of the East Asian Games will serve as the perfect springboard for another shot at hosting the Asiad, says Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing.

The city lost out to Doha in the bidding for the 2006 Asian Games but Tsang said the experience of running next month's East Asian Games will go a long way when Hong Kong takes another crack at hosting the 2019 Asian Games.

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Games media center yesterday, Tsang said the event, which will opens in 12 days, "is just a beginning, not an end" for the city.

Once the construction of a sports complex in the Kai Tak development is completed, the infrastructure will no longer be a problem for the hosting of bigger multi-sport events like the Asiad, Tsang said.

He added that organizing major sports events reflects the integrated power of a city and promotes the development of sports in Hong Kong in the long term.

Tsang said Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong president Timothy Fok Tsun-ting has reacted positively to a possible bid for the 2019 Asiad.

The bid to host the Asiad has to be made by the Sports Federation and Olympic Committee while the government will provide support.

Tsang said the coming Games will give Hong Kong the opportunity to prove that it is capable of hosting a major sports event and urged the public to turn up and support the showpiece.

"Support from the public will be the most critical factor," he said.

In 2000, Hong Kong had figured in a four-way battle with Doha, Kuala Lumpur and New Delhi for the hosting rights of the 2006 Asian Games, with Kuala Lumpur viewed as the early favorite.

In the second round of voting, Qatari capital Doha - backed by support from West Asian countries - won with 22 votes, with Hong Kong getting six and Kuala Lumpur 13.

Doha's victory was considered a major upset, with Malaysian officials condemning the selection process as "ridiculous," alleging that it was influenced by Qatar's economic might.

Victoria Harbour will be the stage for a spectacular Games opening on December 5.

VIENTIANE, Dec 18 (Bernama) -- After two failed attempts, Malaysia hope to bid for the biggest sporting event in Asia - the 2019 Asian Games.

Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek said before making a bid for the 2019 Asian Games, Malaysia would bid to host the 2013 International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Congress in Kuala Lumpur.

"If Malaysia is given the opportunity to host the IOC Congress, it will strengthen Kuala Lumpur's bid for the 2019 Asian Games," he told reporters here on Friday.

Malaysia had previously come close to hosting two Asian Games but lost out to Qatar for the 2006 Doha Asian Games while an opportunity to host the 2010 Asian Games was presented to Guangzhou, China after former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi turned down the prospect due to the huge cost involved ( RM1.3 billion).

South Korea will host the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon.

EAG curtain falls, Asian Games hopes rise
15 December 2009
China Daily - Hong Kong Edition

HONG KONG: With the curtain of the 5th East Asian Games (EAG) having just fallen, the president of the city's Olympic Committee, Timothy Fok, is already raising his gaze to the "next challenge".

The Committee has already received an invitation to bid to host the 2019 Asian Games from the Olympic Council of Asia. They will discuss the bid to host the Asian Games next year, Fok said.

The experience of hosting the EAG has increased Fok's confidence about the bid for the Asian Games. However, the decision won't be made before the city finishes its review of this just-concluded EAG, he said.

"For the first time (for Hong Kong to host an international sports event,) the overall evaluation is not bad," he said.

But both sports facilities and organization could be further improved in the future in Fok's view.

Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing also believes Hong Kong has the capability to host the 2019 Asian Games, since the new multi-purpose stadium in Kai Tat will be in use at that time.

The government will review the arrangement of the EAG, Tsang said. The city's long-term sports policy will also be discussed then and more resources will be put into sports projects.

"(If the city will host the Asian Games,) the facilities should be enhanced," he said.

Tsang concluded the 5th EAG was "successful". The participation of Hong Kong citizens defined the success of the games in Tsang's opinion. "Hong Kong people were really involved, especially on the 12th (when the football team won the gold medal)," he said.

"The ticket sales were not satisfying at the preliminaries stage, but later turned out very well," he was pleased to note.

The football team's victory also elevated the public's level of interest in the future of Hong Kong football. The good news for them and other football-minded people in Hong Kong is that there will be nine more football fields in the coming five years, Tsang announced, while he encouraged business organizations to sponsor sports.

"The Hong Kong football team has always been undervalued in the past. Now we are proven to be promising," said the captain Au Yeung Yiu-chung.

"If we could have a stable site to have regular training, we could be even better," said Chan Hiu-ming, the technical director of the Hong Kong Football Association.

In addition to Hong Kong football, the tourism industry also benefited from the 5th EAG, with tourism during the Games higher than during the same period last year.

soo now we have
1;kuala lumpur
2.hongkong

right?any city else?

KL gets 1 vote from me

i really hopes kl will get it

Its time to Malaysia :cheers:

kl2019 or kuala lumpur 2019
which sounds better?
:lol::lol:
last month i go to uitm sa at graphic exabiton,n i see a asian games bid logo (klcc symbol),mascot (tiger) n emblem n theme inspire from (batik n kolam ...so beautiful,but forgot to take picture:ohno:

support kuala lumpur for 2009asian games:banana:

I am hoping that the Asian Games would return to the Philippines in 2019. The Philippines was actually the first nation to host the precursor to the Asian Games, the Far Eastern Championship Games in 1913, oh well, those were the good old days. I for one am heads up on this matter, this could bring unprecedented degrees of revival to La Perla del Mar Oriente - Manila!

Note: Everyone acknowledges the fatc that 95% of the Bukit Jalil Natnl STadium is not used and the maintenance costs are eating up the local authorities. Even the tall Petronas Towers are still 1/3s empty with hard monetary needs to maintain. It is not just constructing something big, one should see whether it can be sustained. Taking these into account, KL again pls straighten your act.

It's true that the Bukit Jalil stadium is underutilized after the Commonwealth Games in 1998 but the Sports Ministry has done alot in the past few years to bring in more international sporting events such as the South East Asian Games (2001), ATP World Tour Tennis Tournament, Battle of the Champions (Tennis), Junior Hockey World Cup, English football teams vs. national teams etc.

And FYI, the PTT is not 1/3 empty as claimed by reports in the Western media. I suggest you make a trip down here and head to the PTT to see for yourself or ask anyone working in the PTT or have visited the PTT. Believe it or not office space is high on demand in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur. And if you claim that 5 star hotel room occupancy rate is less than 70% why would more international hotels open in KL? Mind you tourism dollars contribute significantly to our national GDP.

You should have brought up Putrajaya, the new administrative capital instead as an example. It's still pretty much a ghost town even though construction is still taking place all over like another Dubai in the making.

Sepang F1 Circuit, half empty for the last 5 yrs during the Malaysian GP.

Where did you get the stats? I was there last year and it was overflowing with people though the event was poorly managed. You've got people sitting on the steps, overcharging for drinks and food etc.

No Malaysian Driver or Team in F1 ever.

FYI, Alex Yoong, a Malaysian, raced for Team Minardi for 2001 and 2002 and have you been following the F1 news of late? 1Malaysia F1 Team or Lotus F1 Racing, backed by the Malaysian government and funded by a consortium of Malaysian entrepreneurs will debut next season.

I apologize on behalf of other Malaysian forumers who are too egoistic and so full of national pride but I hope you get your facts right before taking a pot shot at my country. Sorry guys for all these unrelated stuff. Back to the topic, I hope KL will get it this time but from past experiences anything can happen.

who said national sport complex is empty and useless?
you should comes to see it your self:soapbox:
every year the stadium host the big event,sport,culture n entertainment place.
form big tournement,mega concert and also parade is doing at bukit jalil
such as
-malaysia cup, South East Asian Games (2001), ATP World Tour Tennis Tournament, Battle of the Champions (Tennis), Junior Hockey World Cup, English football teams vs. national teams etc.
-citrawarna malaysia
-juara lagu award,academy fantasia final,sure heboh every years
-concert from beyonce,sean kingston,and more international
-disney on ice show
-car show
if this sport complex doesnt exist?where they want to do it?:nuts:
i think this complex very useful

can't wait for official bid:banana:...when?

Hong Kong will be hard pressed to give sports fans a repeat showing of 2009 in...
1 January 2010
South China Morning Post

Hong Kong will be hard pressed to give sports fans a repeat showing of 2009 in the coming year. The city saw some spectacular moments as it hosted the East Asian Games - the best being when Chan Siu-ki (pictured) delivered in the soccer final against Japan. "The wonderful month of December is now over and everything is back to normal - routine training and matches," Chan says. "The only difference is more people recognise me on the streets after helping Hong Kong win a gold medal at the East Asian Games."

Some critics say that Hong Kong is not putting enough resources into sport, but the win united Hongkongers in pride. "The outstanding result has no doubt generated more interest in soccer in the community and I urge the authorities to take some real measures to help develop the sport, from grass roots to elite level," Chan says. "As a professional player, I will continue to do my job as a footballer for my club, South China and the Hong Kong team, hopefully winning more medals and international honour."

The enthusiasm the East Asian Games brought to the city has lifted the hopes of government and sports officials about the prospect of bringing the Asian Games here. The next Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou this year. It is believed that Manila, Dubai and Taipei are all interested in hosting the 2019 Asian Games.

Tsang Tak-sing, the secretary for home affairs, said recently that he was confident the city could stage a successful Asian Games in 10 years. He also said the new sports hub, which will include a stadium at the former Kai Tak airport site, would be ready by then. His sentiments were backed by our Olympic chief, Timothy Fok Tsun-ting, who thinks a 2019 bid is possible.

u'll be surprised dat manila will get it

I certainly would be. The Philippines sports infrastructure is probably one of the worst in the world.

yup..i agreed

2019 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
2023 Dubai, UAE

From the view of economic strengh of host nation: Singapore, Hong Kong
From the view of infrastructure: KL, Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai.
From the view of transportation: Singapore, Hong Kong
From the view of cleaniness: Singapore and Hong Kong
From the view of public safety: Singapore and Hong Kong

If KL want to host, take more attention on public safety and proper infrastructure maintainance.

Robbery and pick pocket is prevalent in KL. KL is failed to bid for major games is because public safety in KL is terrible compared with Guangzhou, Incheon and Singapore. Maintainance work in Bukit Jalil can't give confidence to the people, the good landscape and scenic park around the Sports Center lacking maintainance giving the people a feel of... there are a piece of ruins in Bukit Jalil. Vandalism is very prevalent in KL.

In case of Dubai, I afraid Dubai will have worker's riot. Human rights record in Dubai regarding to the immigrant workers not very good.

:ohno:i think malaysia infrastructure is better then other asian country,
kl is liner with singapore,beijing,dubai.

KL have world class infrasturcture but lack appropriate maintainance, then a world class infrastructure turn into a piece of crap.

Malaysia knows only to build greatest stadium, tallest building, longest bridge, whatever, also want to be the greatest (in Mahathir era); but do not know how to maintain these great things.

i hope malaysia can win the bid for asiad 2019..but IMO..we are not ready for olympic bid..for me Thailand is the best candidate to be the first country in asean to be host oylmpic games... because they have infrastructure and good athlete to win gold...we malaysia just have infrastructure but no potential athlete...:ohno:

I certainly would be. The Philippines sports infrastructure is probably one of the worst in the world.

Dubai, we always have it in East Asia. In the future cities like Astana, Kuwait, Manama, Abu Dhabi should be chosen.

Just the man who never know what is appropriate in public. You have to learn it.

tell me what my rude word.show me what my mistake firdaus

It is not the rude words, but your kind of expressing should be more considerable to the others feeling, especially if you are Asian and this topics most of people are Asian. You should have to express your word by not looking down the other feeling and think of the other feeling than yourself. To be your self can use in your home, but to express yourself in public, you have to be more polite and wisely show yourself by not making the others think that you are fool.

tell me what my rude word.show me what my mistake firdaus

You wasn't post any rude words here but your word are mostly understimate others. You look down on other country and if you feel that its true, you shouldn't show it in public. Just keep that as your personal oppinion.

Vietnam Joins UAE And Malaysia To Bid For 2019 Asiad
February 11, 2010 19:52 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- Malaysia faces stiff competition to host the 2019 Asian Games as the region's emerging economic powerhouse Vietnam is set to bid for the Asiad as well.

News of the challenge came on the day Malaysia lost its bid to host the 2013 International Olympic Committee (IOC) Congress to Argentine capital Buenos Aires.

The Vietnam News Agency reported that the Vietnam Olympic Committee had proposed that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism get the government's permission to host the 2019 Asian Games.

Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Danh Thai was quoted as saying that the sports sector should invest in selected sports, especially sports that featured in the Olympic Games.

He said that as Vietnam had maintained its position in the top three among Southeast Asian countries in sports, the country now needed to focus on the Asiad and the Olympics.

"Therefore, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism would ask the government to host the 2019 Asiad," he said.

Vietnam, which hosted the 2003 SEA Games, is also seeking to host the 2016 Asian Beach Games, the 2018 Asian Indoor Sports and Martial Arts Games and the 27th SEA Games in 2013.

Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) honorary secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi told Bernama recently that Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was also keen to host the 2019 Asiad.

Neighbouring Doha (Qatar) hosted the 2006 edition after beating Kuala Lumpur for the host job.

So far, only Malaysia has officially submitted the bid for the 2019 Asiad through a letter of intent to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) in December last year.

Malaysia had initially considered hosting the 2010 Asiad, which has gone to Guangzhou, China, but it was turned down by the government due to the high cost involved. South Korea will host the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon.

2019 Singapore if the 1st youth olympics are Great. I Love Singapore and Thailand
2023 Bangkok 25 years after the last ones in 1998
2027 Dubai

We need some pictures. It's hard to vote for letters and words... What facilities does each city currently have? Are there any plans/pictures of proposed developments? etc

The two underdogs in this contest are Bangkok and Balikpapan. Bangkok hosted the Asian Games too many times (four0, they can't bid to host a fifth time. I hope they lose the bid and go for an Olympic bid. Balikpapan...not a very will-known city. They don't even have plans for a main stadium.

Dubai: Can use Dubai Sports City main stadium as main venue. more sports facilities are needed such as a premier indoor arena.
Hanoi: New main stadium needed as well as several other facilities.
Hong Kong: Main stadium and other venues needed.
Kuala Lumpur: Several venue from the 1998 Commonwealth Games and the four Southeast Asian Games it has hosted will be utilised.
Manila: Main stadium and central venue complex needed.
Singapore: Main stadium needed (if they enlarge the proposed main stadium of the proposed SportsHub, which is on hold), and a few venues from the first Youth olympic games will be utilised.
Taipei: Main stadium needed
Colombo: Main stadium and central venue complex needed

Um Bangkok was awarded the games 2 times. but they had to host 4 the 1970 Games was Originally hosted by Seoul, South Korea but dropped its bid after receiving security threats from North Korea. Previous host Thailand stepped in to save the Asiad and staged the Games using the funds of South Korea.
The 1978 games. Pakistan dropped its plan to host the Asian Games due to conflicts with Bangladesh and India. Singapore backed out on holding the Games due to financial reasons.
So to be honest they only go the 1966 and 1998 Games. They should host the 2023 Games then go go for the Olympic Bid.
Bangkok is a safe haven for the AOC
+Dubai needs to pay of the 96Billion US$ dept and their oil will run out by 2017
Singapore got a main staidium. It being updated and will open in 2014. Bangkok is so not an under dog.

I don't care if it's a safe haven, AOC will find a new one. Bangkok is not hosting the Asian Games for a fifth time, it IS the underdog in this contest. You don't know what an underdog is. it is a competitor who is not expected to win a contest.

And singapore's existing national stadium is being demolished for a brand-new stadium.

on a more serious note, agreed with you on kuala lumpur, I think it really deserves to host the Asian games after such a successful 1998 commonwealth games
plus, it has many facilities left over from then, so it wouldn't be too expensive

my favotite is kuala lampur,even if iwanted taipeh but that is impossible :bash: china

this will be the closest fought election in the history of the games asian

Government Press Release

The SAR Government has decided to support the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China (SF&OC) to submit a "letter of intent" to the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) to bid to host the 2023 Asian Games, the Secretary for Home Affairs, Mr Tsang Tak-sing, said today (June 25).

"The successful hosting of a large-scale international sports event such as the Asian Games will bring about significant benefits to Hong Kong," Mr Tsang said.

"The Government is committed to promoting the development of sports in Hong Kong. We believe that the hosting of the Asian Games would help encourage high levels of sports performance; promote wider public interest and participation in sports, as well as raise the morale of the community," he added.

Mr Tsang said the decision to support the SF&OC was made with the backing of the sports sector. Both the SF&OC membership and the Sports Commission have expressed support for a potential bid.

Besides, on January 6, 2010, the Legislative Council passed a motion on sports development that included a request for the Government to actively consider supporting a bid to host the Asian Games.

The OCA has set the deadlines of June 30, 2010, for the submission of a"letter of intent" and the end of 2010 for the submission of a formal bid to host the 2019 or 2023 Asian Games. The submission of a "letter of intent" does not amount to a formal bid.

"Notwithstanding the considerable benefits that the Asian Games would bring, given the scale of the event and the likely implications for our public finances, the support of the community is essential if Hong Kong is to formally bid for the right to host the Games by the end of this year," Mr Tsang stressed.

"Before deciding whether or not the Government should support a formal bid, a public consultation exercise will be conducted to gauge the views of the public," he said, adding that the final decision would be subject to the outcome of the consultation exercise and acceptance of the likely financial implications involved by the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council.

The Government will set up a Provisional Bid Committee with representation from the sports sector, business and community organisations and relevant government agencies as well as a Bid Team to take forward the detailed planning.

The relevant preparatory work includes a review of the OCA requirements as set out in the bid documents in respect of issues such as venue availability, accommodation for athletes and officials, and a detailed assessment of how Hong Kong can meet these requirements.

Estimates of the likely operational cost of running the Games, the capital costs to be incurred in providing suitable sports facilities and the cost of accommodating delegations in a purpose-built athletes’ village will be prepared.

An assessment of the potential economic costs and benefits of hosting the Asian Games will also be made. The consultation exercise will be launched upon completion of the relevant preparatory work.

Noting that the OCA is inviting bids to host the Asian Games in 2019 or 2023, Mr Tsang said the Government's assessment was that it would be more advisable to bid for the Games in 2023.

"There are clear advantages in hosting the Asian Games in 2023," he said.

"This would give us more time to develop good quality venues that would meet the needs of sports development in Hong Kong and that would also be suitable for hosting Asian Games events.

"The building programme for the Asian Games would not overlap with the major infrastructure projects as many of them are expected to be substantially completed before 2023. It would also allow us to showcase a suite of new infrastructure projects to the rest of the world.

"In addition, the development of athletes from junior to internationally competitive level is typically a 10-year undertaking. The redevelopment of the Hong Kong Sports Institute into a world class elite sports training centre is due to be completed in 2013. By hosting the Asian Games in 2023, we could set a clear goal for the training of athletes to a level whereby we could expect to achieve good results at the Games," Mr Tsang explained.

The Chief Executive-in-Council has approved the issue of a letter of support by the Government for the SF&OC to submit a "letter of intent"” to bid to host the 2023 Asian Games, and the setting up of a Provisional Bid Committee and a Bid Team.

The Asian Games is held every four years. The OCA requires that any bid to host the Asian Games should be submitted by the National Olympic Committee (NOC) of the relevant member state or territory, together with a letter of support from the government concerned. As the NOC for Hong Kong, China, the SF&OC would be the bidding organisation for Hong Kong.

u idiot matthew lowry!

from hongkong thread

A bid by Hong Kong to host the Asian Games is likely to be delayed for four years following strong opposition to a campaign to stage the 2019 event.

The city's successful first hosting of a multi-games event last month - the East Asian Games - has sparked support within the community to bid for the 2019 Asian Games.

However, Pang Chung, honorary secretary of the Hong Kong Olympic Committee, warned that it would not be easy to beat other bidding cities if they focused on 2019.

"As far as we know, Delhi and Kuala Lumpur are targeting the 2019 Games and both are in a better position than Hong Kong," Pang said.

My uncle is Asst Director in sports authority of India& Delhi, India are indeed bidding for 2019/2023 Asiad.

that games had a really positive reaction in Australia - events were well run, very friendly atmosphere, and a good event all round.

I actually liked the swimming venue the most - very different to the standard indoor box you normally see with swimming venues

2019 ChiangMai, Thailand

i vote for kuala lumpur

KUALA LUMPUR will Host the 2019 Asian Games......

KUALA LUMPUR will Host the 2019 Asian Games........is time for southeast asia to host the games..........

kuala lumpur@dubai...

Nope i had to say 2019 Bangkok, Thailand.

Nope i had to say 2019 Bangkok, Thailand.

why u really want bangkok to host asian games?i though they have a politic crisis...n their people dont love there own city.by burning and demolish it..

Well, that and Bangkok has hosted it like 3-4 times already.

I actually see KL as the biggest contender. Followed by Dubai and Singapore.

Manila remains bleak with its poor infrastructure, but it certainly has enough time to change all that.

Hanoi has just about the same chances Manila has.

Nope i had to say 2019 Bangkok, Thailand.

IF Bangkok have hosted many times of asian games, y not try for Olympic?? is seem like bangkok cnnt go further then asian games is it? well bangkok will not host the games...becoz is been hosted so many times.....should give other city in southeast to get the chance to host it.....and KUALA LUMPUR is the most favrte to host the Games....

i hope to also bid for asian games philippines for that will show that we are not poor people and for those still, we will show our culture and we show from sports

Who said anything about a country being poor ? look at South Africa, they are hosting the World Cup but there are still people living in slums.

but....,stable economy is important,becoz,the budget to organize this event is not cheap,if they not plan it seriously n correctly,they will get bancrupt..i think kl is best choice..just my opinion..

2039 Mumbai, India

Mumbai 2035 is OK. Though it is the one of the financial power houses of Asia, the slums are a setback.
Similar to Cape Town, Jo'berg or Durban - only in terms of slum not in enormity or futuristic infrastructure or cmmercial value.
Otherwise, the money generated by Mumbai is next only to Shanghai, S'pore/Hongkong, Tokyo financial hubs.

Then again, why are we wasting resources upon this crazy dumbhead's list.

If Mumbai hosted the Asian Games, a significant portion of the city's slums will need to be drastically redeveloped. Redevelop a portion of Dharavi for the games Village. Redevelop a portion of another slum elsewhere in the metro area for the main stadium and sports complex, A few existing venues in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai would be utilised, also.
