Asean Para Games
ASEAN PARA GAMES OPENING AND CLOSING CEREMONIES 1 ASEAN PARA GAMES Opening Ceremony 3 December 2015, Singapore Indoor Stadium Closing Ceremony 9 December 2015, Marina Bay Sand 2 OVERVIEW The Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 8th ASEAN Para Games was directed by the award-winning Creative Director Philip Tan (Philbeat), who led a core creative team of 75 mem- bers. The ceremonies’ carried a bold central message, which is the celebration of human beings’ physical and mental abilities. This is a radical departure from the tone of charity that had hith- erto dominated the disability discourse in Singapore and the re- gion. Philip embedded colleagues with disability into all stages of production. A complex environment of teaching and learning was built into the 2-year production process. Associate Directors worked with other individuals and teams, which included profes- sionals, schools (comprising special education schools, secon- dary and tertiary institutions) and volunteers. 3 IMPACT The Ceremonies generated positive impact to its audiences, par- ticipants, partner institutions, and creative team members. Singa- pore’s Prime Minister called it ‘spectacular’. Together with the suc- cessful run of the Games (‘best ever’ — The New Paper 2015), they are paving the way for a paradigm shift in the disability dis- course in Singapore and the region. Firsts for the Ceremonies include: being beamed live to 3 countries and Youtube to 600 mil- lion in the region and beyond, with live interpretation and live cap- tioning. For a partnering school, the process was ‘exceptional’, letting ‘the status of our students with disabilities soar to great heights in an international platform’ (Metta School). -

Calvin Kang Li Loong Height
A SA publication www.SingaporeAthletics.org.sg Name: Calvin Kang Li Loong Height: 1.76m Weight: 67kg Date of Birth: 16 April 1990 (25yrs) Personal Best(s): 10.48s (Men 100m, 2015 Singapore Open) Career Highlight(s): - Below is an extract of the interview Q) What are your hopes, dream and target this SEA Games? Going for GOLD (Goal)! In the 4x100m relay, I am aiming to finish on the podium in the 100m as well! I’m fortunate to be able to compete at the Sports Hub in front of Singaporeans and that has always been my dream! Q) How’s your preparation for the SEA Games? It is going good so far, though I have been falling sick more prevalently these few days, I am listening very closely to my body. Working a lot of my weakness (a.ka, Achilles, foot strength, hip strength) and sprint technique. Q) What are some of the biggest challenges in your sports career so far leading to SEA Games and your athletics career? Battling with chronic injuries and rehabilitation, as we have an intense training regime, missing a session would affect the training cycle; it has not been easy managing it. Q) How did you specialise in your particular event? Why this event, what’s the attraction? I started sprinting since I was 9 years old, since then I always loved speed, I love to feel the breeze brushing past my face, the feeling of out running another, the atmosphere of competition resides well with my being, I like the short sprints and running the 100m is the shortest in the outdoor season (I also love the 60m – INDOOR season). -
许环良) Is Perhaps Best Known As the Record Producer Who Launched the Successful Careers of Singapore Singing Artistes Kit Chan ( 陈洁仪), JJ Lin (林俊杰), A-Do ( 阿杜), and BY2
ARTICLE Billy Koh ( 许 环 良): The Butterfly and Its Dreams by Kong, Kam Yoke , written on 20th August 2010 National Library Board, Singapore Billy Koh, who has helped re-shape the Singapore Chinese pop music scene over the last 25 years, is best known as the record producer who launched the successful careers of Singapore singers Kit Chan, JJ Lin, A-Do and BY2. Considered one of the most instrumental and influential figures in the Singapore music industry, Billy Koh ( 许环良) is perhaps best known as the record producer who launched the successful careers of Singapore singing artistes Kit Chan ( 陈洁仪), JJ Lin (林俊杰), A-Do ( 阿杜), and BY2. As the most recognised face from Ocean Butterflies Music Pte Ltd ( 海蝶音乐私人有限公 司), which Koh co-founded, he had, together with his team, re-shaped the landscape of the Singapore Chinese pop music scene over a span of a quarter of a century, carving a place for itself and creating a brand name that exerts an impact in Asia. In his nearly three-decade-long career, Koh has produced more than 150 albums and is credited for discovering and grooming many top artistes who made it big in Asia. For his contributions to the Singapore music industry, Koh was awarded the Meritorious Award and the Wings of Excellence Award by COMPASS in 2001 and 2005 respectively. It had all begun in 1981. Billy Koh had formed a singing group called The Straw ( 水草三重唱), together with his schoolmates, Koh Nam Seng ( 许南盛) and the late Sunkist Ng ( 黄元成), to participate in the television talent show “Chinese Talentime” ( 《斗歌竞艺》), which was one of the most watched shows then. -

14 March 2016 This Easter's Biggest Travel Fair Is Here at Chan Brothers
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Singapore – 14 March 2016 This Easter’s Biggest Travel Fair is Here at Chan Brothers Eggs-Traordinary Travel Fair Travel is here to stay. The strong performance at the recent slew of travel events has indicated the resilience of demand for travel despite the economic uncertainties. Riding on this wave, the 51-year-old agency is not holding back at this Easter’s biggest travel fair, the twice-yearly and much anticipated Chan Brothers Eggs- Traordinary Travel Fair. The travel main event promises egg-citing deals and egg-cellent savings come Saturday, 26 March at Suntec Singapore level 4 Exhibition Hall 404. Going to the Land Down Under The Australian dollar has been sliding steadily against the Singapore dollar since June 2014 reaching almost its previous lows in 2008, with a correlated 10 to 25 percent year-on-year growth in demand for travel to Australia since 2013. Savings from the low Australian dollar can be reaped from expenditure abroad which can form the bulk of one’s expense in the form of dining, shopping and entertainment, especially so for Free and Independent Travellers (FIT). With prices for tours to Australia affordably starting from less than $1,000, new and repeat travellers can revisit less mainstream regions from tropical Cairns to ski holidays and June Christmas festivities in Mt Buller, Victoria to snow vacations and tulip festivals in Canberra. Travellers can also enjoy an easier connection to Canberra onboard Singapore Airlines’ new direct services to Canberra commencing from September 2016. Japan’s Island Getaway Japan fanatics can make Okinawa their next Japan stop this June onboard SilkAir’s direct charter flights that will halve traditional journey time. -

THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015 Music LIFE! C9 2000s: Then and now Musicians who lead in the classical scene Paige Lim Over the years, many Singaporean classical musicians who studied abroad have remained over- seas to pursue their careers. Renowned violinist Chan Yoong-Han and pianist Lim Yan are among the rare few who have returned here to develop their careers. And over the past 10 or more years, the pair have made waves in the local classical music scene. Besides being members of popular piano quintet Take 5, both have played as soloists with the Singa- pore Symphony Orchestra and performed in inter- national music festivals. Life! classical music reviewer Chang Tou Liang calls them “two of the most active and busiest classical musicians” in Singapore today. “They are leaders in their fields and figures whom young Singaporean musicians can relate to and emulate,” he says. Both musicians came to prominence in the 2000s after returning to Singapore from their over- seas studies. A graduate from Rice University in the United States in 1995, Chan, 40, was awarded the 2000 Shell-NAC Arts Scholarship by the National Arts Council. He then completed his masters of music at the University of Massachusetts. In 2007, he was appointed concertmaster for the Singapore Festival Orchestra, the resident orches- tra of the Singapore Arts Festival which ended in 2012. Lim, 35, the nephew of well-known conductor Lim Yau, was the first Singaporean to play in the 12th Singapore International Piano Festival in 2005. He made history again when he became the Violinist Chan first Singaporean pianist to perform all five Yoong-Han About Sing50 Beethoven piano concertos in a cycle here in 2012. -
