The cancelation according to me is due to our own division
1. Egoistic of some religious groups in Indonesia, doesnt see the risk of their demand can jeopardize the whole event
2. Some political groups interest and once again doesnt see their action can basically ruin the whole event
3. Government is not really firm when there is Israeli issue being raised.
4. Lack of unity mindset and group mentality (it can be seen as well with some group and even national media shows Indonesian KPK "Taliban" group as something that needs to ged rid from that powerful anti corruption body just because they are part of conservative Muslim-seen as they dont like seing that members targeting secular party member like PDI-P). This is also seen during their reluctant to allow JIS as the stadium for U20 World Cup just because the stadium is built by Anies Baswedan.
The same thing is also seen in KFX/IFX program, R80 program, and also Olympics bid. For Olympics bid, Indonesia has chance if we want to host it in Jakarta and Palembang, but Jokowi demand to held it in Nusantara will likely ruin the chance of Indonesia hosting Olympics in 2036.
First the city hasnt even been built, second Western people will always see the city development as deforestation action. Third, making the stadiums and others in Nusantara are not viable business wise, unlike in Jakarta where people use that facility for music concerts and other events. Making new sport center is also expensive, better the money invested in R80 aircraft program and we host the Olympics in Jakarta and Palembang where the facility is already completed.
With this FIFA World Cup U20 cancellation, I hope Jokowi think again about his demand to host Olympic in Nusantara because if he is doing it, basically he is doing the same thing like people who make the FIFA World Cup U20 failed...........And Hosting FIFA World Cup U20 is basically nothing compared to hosting Summer Olympics in term of scale, publicity, and grandeur.
