JAKARTA - The Indonesian contingent has achieved a goal beyond the target at the 2026 ASEAN Para Games, confirming the progress of national disability sports development in line with the agenda for the development of inclusive human resources (HR).
Indonesia collected 392 medals, consisting of 135 gold, 143 silver, and 114 bronze, and ranked second in the final standings. This achievement far exceeded the initial target of the contingent.
Chef de Mission Indonesia Reda Manthovani stated that this achievement reflects the effectiveness of the training of disabled athletes which is increasingly structured and long-term oriented.
He assessed that this achievement was in line with President Prabowo Subianto's Asta Cita, especially in encouraging the equality of people with disabilities as an integral part of superior human capital development.
In terms of sports performance, Para Athletics and Para Swimming were the main contributors to the gold medal.
In addition, Indonesia also recorded 25 ASEAN Para Games records and one Asian record, indicating an increase in the competitive quality of national athletes.
In the future, the government and stakeholders are expected to strengthen support for disability sports, not only as a means of achieving achievements, but also as an instrument of inclusive and sustainable social and development policies.
