Following the announcement of Vietnam government's refusal to host the Asian Games 2019, the seeking for the replacement will have to move fast because of the time limit, 5 years from now.
The wealthy nation, Singapore will be holding the South East Asian Games in 2015 for the Asean eleven nations. And it will soon open its $1Billion new sport hub.

"We are putting all our resources and energy to ensure a successful SEA Games. A bid for 2019 Asian Games is not on the cards at the moment." said Ng Ser Miang, the vice President of International Olympic Committee.
Following the refusal of Vietnam because of the financial position, many critics pointed out that holding such an event does cost a lot of money.
"The government of Indonesia may be ready to take over, but what about the hosting city? We are happy that Surabaya is the hosting city of the 2021 Asian Youth Games, but we will discuss about 2019."
So far, there hasn't been any country to take over the host of Asian Games 2019 yet.
Asian Games has been held once in every four years since 1951, started in New Delhi, India.
