JAKARTA - The Indonesian contingent is currently in second place in the medal standings for the 2025 SEA Games. The Red and White team collected 60 gold medals, 67 silver medals, and 65 bronze medals.
"This achievement is a good signal because the increasing gold acquisition is approaching the target of 80 gold medals at the end of the championship.
However, the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora), Erick Thohir, asked the athletes to remain focused on winning gold medals until the closing on December 20, 2025.
"Don't look at today's rankings. There are still four days ahead until the closing of December 20, 2025. The potential for gold is still open and we must remain focused, concentrated, and not slack until the end."
"Let's keep our focus and spread this positive spirit until the SEA Games are closed," said Erick Thohir in an official statement quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 16, 2025.

Menpora also emphasized the importance of objectively evaluating the SEA Games achievements, with gold as the main indicator of competitive strength.
According to him, the SEA Games is a target on the roadmap for building national sports performance towards a larger agenda, such as the Asian Games and the Olympics. Therefore, evaluation is needed to be able to map Indonesia's sports achievements.
From the results of this SEA Games evaluation, Erick Thohir emphasized that the Ministry of Youth and Sports together with the Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC Indonesia) and sports federations will begin to encourage predictions of sports branches that will be sent to the 2026 Asian Games until the 2027 SEA Games.
"This is no longer a guessing era. This is the era of sports science and preparation. Early next year, the Ministry of Youth and Sports together with the Indonesian NOC and (federation) sports branches will encourage clear and measurable predictions for the Asian Games and SEA Games 2027," he said.
Regardless of the message, the Indonesian Contingent is now ahead of Vietnam, which is in third place with 40 gold, 50 silver and 72 bronze. Meanwhile, host Thailand is in the top spot with 147 gold medals, 90 silver and 64 bronze.
