“Sport is a celebration of the human spirit. Some of us do it just for fun or to keep fit. Others use it to gain honour and glory. Whatever the reason, sport invigorates the body and mind. It also deepens the sense of community and fosters enduring friendships. Competitive sport enables the development of discipline and resolve. It stretches us to the limit of our capabilities. It helps in the overall development of a person. Furthermore, when our athletes fly the national flag in international competitions, they trigger in us a strong sense of achievement, belonging and pride. Singapore is building up its own sporting heritage. We promote mass participation in sports. We encourage individual and team excellence. We have become fitter and healthier as sport becomes part and parcel of our daily living. We have also produced a few world-class sportsmen and sportswomen. This report is a good blueprint to lift sports to new heights in Singapore. I congratulate the Committee on Sporting Singapore for its comprehensive review and new initiatives. I am confident that this new vision will bring Singapore greater sporting glory and give our people more to cheer and be proud of.” GOH CHOK TONG Prime Minister 2001 COMMITTEE OF SPORTING SINGAPORE REPORT

MCDS (Ministry of Community Development and Sports) “History is in the making for sports in Singapore. For the past 10 months, the entire sporting fraternity has come together to question fundamentals, discuss possibilities, re-examine priorities and explore our dreams for sports in Singapore. The end result is an ambitious blueprint. In this blueprint, we establish the vision of a Sporting Singapore, set targets for ourselves, and outline various strategic thrusts for sports development with 40 specific recommendations. This is merely the first step in a long journey. The implementation of the recommendations will require stamina, perseverance, time and effort. More importantly, it will require close co-operation from all members of the sporting fraternity: athletes, coaches, administrators, officials, parents, the media, sponsors and champions, sports promoters as well as the government. We will have to work closely together and exemplify the spirit of Team Singapore if we want to realise our vision. The government has taken a significant initiative. It has committed an additional $500 million to help Team Singapore implement the 40 recommendations over the next 5 years. One major recommendation is the re-development of the National Stadium into a multi- purpose sports hub. As this is a huge project, its funding will be separately determined. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Committee on Sporting Singapore, who tirelessly sought feedback from various stakeholders, contributed to many penetrating discussions and finally formulated this comprehensive blueprint. It is with great pride that we present this report to the people of Singapore.” ABDULLAH TARMUGI Minister for Community Development and Sports THE THREE SPORTS PILLARS GIVING BACK TO THE SPORT • EARLY EXPOSURE (MY FATHER) • SINCE 1990s • FRANKIE THANAPAL AND TAN JU SENG • 1996 & 2000 PARALYMPIC GOLD BEING MEDALIST GREGORY BURNS • 2003 onwards INCLUSIVE AND • WORLD CHAMPIONS THERESA GOH GIVING BACK • PARALYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST TO SOCIETY • COMMONWEALTH MEDALIST TOH WEI SOONG • MULTIPLE MEDALIST AT ASIAN PARA & ASEAN PARA GIVING BACK TO THE SPORT Major Games as a Coach
