Jakarta (ANTARA News) - A number of people grouped under the Electric Light Railway (KRL) Loving Community have publicized the would-be implementation of the upcoming 18th Asian Games by distributing leaflets with the logo and mascot of the largest Asian sporting event.

The leaflets, with words reading "Succeed the Asian Games 2018 Jakarta-Palembang August 18-September 2," were monitored by Antara on Monday.

"We have distributed the leaflets at several stations in Bogor area, because this community is only for Bogor citizens who commute using the KRL," a member of Cinta KRL Community, Almizan Ulfa, stated when contacted by Antara on Monday.

He noted that the new community was formed in May 2018. To date, the number of recorded members of the community has reached 150 people and is still growing.

"The community was formed after our accidentally meeting every time we get on the KRL, when we go or return from office. We discuss many things, including the implementation of the Asian Games," Ulfa noted.

Around 16 thousand athletes and coaches from 45 countries will participate in the Asian Games 2018, which will be held in the cities of Jakarta and Palembang (South Sumatra) from August 18 to September 2.
