Okaaaayy, so being an official noob about what the SEA Games is about,
I decided to do a little research about it...
Here, are some SEA Games facts
1) SEA Games stand for Southeast Asian Games,
2) officially known as the 29th Southeast Asian Games, and commonly known as Kuala Lumpur 2017 is a
3) Southeast Asian multi-sport event that will take place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
4) from 19 to 30 August 2017
5) 404 events in 38 sports to be featured in the games
6) sixth time Malaysia host the games and its first time since 2001.
7) As per SEA Games traditions, hosting duties are rotated among the SEA Games Federation (SEAGF) member countries. Each country is assigned a year to host but may choose to do so or not.
8) In July 2012, the SEAGF meeting in Myanmar confirmed that Malaysia would host the regional biennial event in 2017, should there be no other country willing to bid for the host job.[4] Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) secretary general Sieh Kok Chi, who attended the meeting, said that Myanmar would host the Games in 2013, followed by Singapore in 2015. Then it should be Brunei's turn but it wanted to host the 2019 Games instead of the 2017 edition. Malaysia is willing to be the host for the 2017 Games.
9) The 2017 Southeast Asian Games was organised across several states in Malaysia.[5][6] All the existing venues in Bukit Jalil National Sports Complex were upgraded while a new velodrome, costed MYR 80 million was built in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan to host track cycling events and was completed on late March 2017 and opened on 26 May 2017.
10) More than RM1.6 billion has been allocated by the host country to turn the National Sports Complex in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, and its surrounding areas into a Sports City.[10] The first phase of the work will get the Bukit Jalil National Stadium ready to host the 2017 Southeast Asia Games.[11]
11)The principal agency to ensure the security of the games is the Royal Malaysian Police Force. Six drills were held to prepare the police force to face any unpredicted situations.[24]
