PON Aceh-Sumut, which is a sporting event that should be a show for the nation's best athletes, is tarnished by various problems. So what are the problems that occur in the Aceh PON?

PON Aceh-Sumut not only failed to provide experience for athletes, but also had a bad impact on Indonesia's reputation as the organizer of large-scale sporting events.

Kehebohan appeared recently on social media regarding the meal menu of the XXI PON executive committee in Karo Regency. The video circulating shows complaints about inadequate portion of food, one of which is related to the tempe menu.

Responding to this, the Chairman of the XXI Aceh-North PON Panwasrah, Maj. Gen. Retired Suwarno, expressed his doubts about the truth of the information. Suwarno emphasized that it was impossible for the committee to only be given a piece of tempeh as a meal menu.

Not only about the tempe menu, there is a video that has gone viral on social media that has shocked the public. The video shows the contents of the PON athlete's dining box which is considered not in accordance with the athlete's food standards.

In the video, a dining box containing bread and packaged coconut milk can be seen. However, the Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) has denied the truth of the video.

Reporting from Antara, as the official consumer provider of PON XXI, PT Aktivitas Atmosfir acknowledged that there were significant communication constraints at the beginning of the implementation. A less effective food ordering system is one of the main factors.

"For example, often we receive very tight orders, even midnight," said Chepta Hermana, GM PT Aktivitas Atmosfir. This obstacle has an impact on the quality of the services provided.

The excitement of coloring this year's PON event is not just a matter of food consumption. Violence also occurred on the ground when referee Eko Agus Sugih Harto was beaten by a player after giving a penalty decision.
