I'd prefer Uzbekistan or Thailand but not Qatar. 

Uzbekistan could definitely get the job done, not sure about Thailand. They definitely could if they choose the organizing committee well. Malaysia and Singapore the SEA countries I’d most prefer as hosts.

The television broadcast Intro for these games sucks. I’ve never seen something less creative. Not a huge fan of ESPN5 being responsible for the coverage. I mean they’re showing only 11 sports out 56 on the program. The last two games showed at least 20.

I love the 2015 and 2017 intros. They’re some of my all-time favorites actually. Even the 2005 Intro is better than the one this year.

Tickets for the majority of the 56 sports at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games will now be free for the public. The exception is in the sports of basketball, football and volleyball when the Philippine team is playing. People who have bought tickets earlier to the other 53 sports will not be reimbursed.

 

Upon Duterte’s orders, SEA Games tickets now free to the public

 

You have to feel sorry for the people who bought tickets early. They got screwed.

Isn't that just making people angrier?

I don't think they sold a lot of tickets. So there aren't going to be a lot of angry people. But you have to feel for the fans who made an effort to buy tickets. They were told to consider the money they paid as a "contribution"

Indonesia secured first gold from water polo

[PHI2019 309]

And the Philippines will win their first medal in men’s water polo since 2011. If they defeat Malaysia on the last day of competition, they’ll win the silver medal ahead of Singapore

These games are a disaster.
