The
Southeast Asian Games (also known as the
SEA Games), is a biennial
multi-sport event involving participants from the current 11 countries of
Southeast Asia. The games is under regulation of the
Southeast Asian Games Federation with supervision by the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the
Olympic Council of Asia.
[edit] History
The Southeast Asian Games owes its origins to the
Southeast Asian Peninsular Games or
SEAP Games. On 22 May 1958, delegates from the countries in Southeast Asian peninsula attending the
3rd Asian Games in Tokyo, Japan had a meeting and agreed to establish a sport organization. The SEAP Games was conceptualized by
Laung Sukhumnaipradit, then Vice-President of the Thailand Olympic Committee. The proposed rationale was that a regional sports event will help promote cooperation, understanding and relations among countries in the Southeast Asian region.
Thailand,
Burma (now
Myanmar),
Malaya (now
Malaysia),
Laos,
South Vietnam and
Cambodia (with
Singapore included thereafter) were the founding members. These countries agreed to hold the Games biannually. The SEAP Games Federation Committee was formed.
The first SEAP Games were held in
Bangkok from 12–17 December 1959 comprising more than 527 athletes and officials from Thailand, Burma, Malaya (now Malaysia), Singapore, South Vietnam and Laos participating in 12 sports.
At the 8th SEAP Games in 1975, the SEAP Federation considered the inclusion of
Indonesia and the Philippines.The two countries were formally admitted in 1977, the same year when SEAP Federation changed their name to
Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF), and the games were known as the Southeast Asian Games.
Brunei was admitted at the 10th SEA Games in
Jakarta, Indonesia, and
East Timor at the 22nd SEA Games in
Hanoi, Vietnam.
In December 2005, the Philippines hosted the Games for the third time, after 1981 and 1991 editions. With its 113 gold medals, it copped the over-all championship for the first time since it joined in 1977.
The last games held was the incident free
2009 Southeast Asian Games (running from 9–18 December) which was the first time Laos has ever held a Southeast Asian Games (Laos had previously declined hosting the 1965 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games citing financial difficulties). It has also commemorated the 50 years of the SEA Games, held in
Vientiane,
Laos. The next host for the
2011 Southeast Asian Games is
Indonesia.The games commenced and progressed largely smoothly, however, praises and commendations were expressed by many athletes, sports officials and the press-
Laos now joins the list of countries that have successfully hosted the South East Asian Games.

- 1 Competed as Malaya in the inaugural games until 1961.
- 2 The Republic of South Vietnam was dissolved in July 1976 when it merged with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) to become the Socialist Republic of Vietnam also known as Vietnam. Therefore, the medal counts for this country are considered to be as until 1975. International Olympic Committee (IOC) is not using codes for South Vietnam anymore after unifying with North Vietnam.
- 3 Competed as Cambodia, Kampuchea, and Khmer Republic.
- 4 In the 1989 edition, a unified Vietnam rejoined the games with new name and new flag. Medals made by South Vietnam are already combined here. See table tally above for South Vietnam.
- 5 Competed as Burma until 1987.
[edit] Criticism
Recent Sea Games show the host strategy to dominate the medals. The strategy of cutting down the numbers of medals for sports that are the advantages of other countries has been a major problem for Southeast Asian Games that being carried out by the host country. At
2001 Southeast Asian Games, Malaysia introduced
lawn bowls,
netball and
petanque,
2003 Southeast Asian Games, Vietnam added
fin swimming and
shuttlecock,
2005 SEA Games, the
Philippines added
arnis, a demonstration sport in 2003, with 6 sets of medals and it won 3 gold medals. At the
2007 SEA Games,
Thailand added some new categories of
sepak takraw and used a new kind of ball that had been used by their athletes for a year while other countries had never used it before. Thailand won nearly all sets of medal from that discipline.
