Sjamsoeddin said the committee had also urged related parties to make preparations to ensure electricity and water supply as well as telecommunication services and internet connectivity.
The committee has also ensured the readiness of the athletes` housing and transportation facilities, as well as light rail transit (LRT).
"We have inspected the construction work, and we laud the developer and committee in Palembang," Sjamsoeddin stated.
He inspected the Athlete Village and several apartments to ensure that the housing requirements of athletes are met.
The committee is optimistic that the facilities would offer comfort to the athletes and delegations and boost the image of Palembang City.
