The Indonesian contingent takes part in the closing parade of the 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games on Wednesday (11/12/2019) at the Athletics Stadium in New Clark City, the Philippines. Indonesia ranked fourth overall with 72 gold medals, 84 silver medals and 111 bronze medals, outperforming its fifth-place ranking at the 2017 SEA Games in Malaysia with two 38 golds, 63 silvers and 90 bronzes.

The “Red and White” contingent finished in fourth place in the final medal tally, with 72 golds, 84 silvers and 111 bronzes. In terms of ranking and medal achievement, this was an improvement from the Malaysia 2017 SEA Games, when Indonesia finished fifth with a haul of 38 golds, 63 silvers and 90 bronzes.

The success merits appreciation. Furthermore, the medal achievement at this year’s SEA Games far surpassed the original target of 45 golds, which was then revised to 60 golds.
