There is still a great hope for Sea Game in Laos

 

For those of you who support this event, just keep your hopes up for now and for those who lost the spaces or homes should read this news as well.

The 25th Southeast Asian Games is scheduled to be held in Vientiane, Laos, in 2009. This will be the first time the country has ever held a Southeast Asian Games. However, there is an important condition for hosting the games: if Laos fails to meet the qualifications to hold this event, the games will be moved to Singapore.

Because of the limited sports facilities in Vientiane, the competition will comprise only 25 disciplines. This is already a very limited number of competitions compared to the 43 held last year in Nakhon Ratchasima, North-east Thailand. With the help of China, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam and the Olympic Council of Asia, there is good hope Laos will be able to host the 25th SEA games.

Unfortunately, a big disagreement arose between Thailand and Laos. What is the problem? Money, basically. Thailand initially vowed to support Laos in its first hosting of the SEA Games, offering use of its facilities for events which Laos has no capability of hosting. Thailand, however, withdrew its offer, prompting Laos to scamper for resources to be able establish the multi million facilities needed for the Games.

There is a distinguished reason for these actions. Laos is said to be seeking 75 percent of the television rights and for changes in crucial provisions in the current charter of the SEA Games federation. The host country also desires to create headquarters in Laos. This would leave all SEA Games members sharing whatever would be left from the 25 television revenues.

In order to solve this problem, a two day conference is planned to talk about the issue of the chapter change. It is important for the Lao government to handle these negatiations with care or else the SEA games of 2009 might go to Singapore. No doubt, the government realizes this fact and will reassure us soon that we can all look forward to a fantastic event in Vientiane in December 2009.

Singapore is about to demolish her main stadium to rebuild it in time for the Youth Olympic Games...can't imagine the 2009 SEA Games being shifted there, don't think the new stadium will be ready in time & there are no other stadiums with a similar capacity.

Hi fourpaws, welcome to Samakomlao.  Your User ID makes me think of (Tiger paws or something) that is scary man.  Are you Laotian or Hmong or Thai if I may ask? Since you are new to the site, I just want to give you a friendly warning, under no circumstances you would want to make a comment about Lao girls, but compliment is ok and quite acceptable.  Some people in this Web can be savage LOL, they will cuss you in English and some of their cussing are in Lao language too.  Some even called me Vietnamese. I learned it from my own experience.  I thought by being Laotian American myself, would grant me some sort of privilege to make comments about lady’s appearance, but I was wrong.  By the way, if you come across any derogatory comments by anonymous username or “siamforlife ”,  don’t take it serious.  That fool siamforlife occasionally visits the site and call us all sorts of names.  He said we Lao negro are stupid, ugly, uneducated, poor and to make it worse he would add one or two more sentences just to say, (laterz you lao nigros, lols! HAHHAHAHAH YEHS YOU LAO DESERVE TO BE POOR. thais are rich and nice white skin and you laos are fugly moless... long live thailand biatches.)

Damn man! It hurts me deeply; at first, I wanted to cry. I defended my people with dignity by replying to him with the same retorts. Now, I just don’t give a sh1t about him anymore.biggrin
