This is also an opportunity to disseminate the "Energy of Asia" from the great values of Asian citizens in achieving the best while appreciating the process to be the winner.Â
The "Energy of Asia" spirit is not only being a champion of sport games, but also having good attitude and behavior of all participants.Â
Japanese spectators for example, who have already shown their beautiful culture that loves cleanliness. The brotherhood was represented by two hostile countries, South Korea and North Korea, when they defiled together at the opening ceremony while their leaders were waving from the podium hand in hand.Â
The citizen of Jakarta particularly, and the citizen of Indonesia generally, may learn these great values to enrich our own good values such as hospitality. Indonesians have to open their mind to take up other Asian countries' great values to improve themselves.
To re-brand the image of Jakarta will not be enough with only building infrastructures. Indonesians also need to build our character as dignified Asian citizens by listening to the complaints and the suggestions of all Asian Games 2018 participants.Â
In fact, Asian Games 2018 does not only present the "Energy of Asia". This event also shares the "Energy of Asia" spirit from all nations in Asia. Hopefully this "Energy of Asia" slogan will encourage Jakarta as the capital city, and Indonesia as a nation, to rise together with the glory of Asia.
