Why do you wish to be elected to the APC Executive Board? As President of the Asian Paralympic Committee since end of 2014, I have noticed that the Paralympic Committees of the region are facing many difficulties in many areas that need to be addressed with short term and long terms plans. Asia has a low representation in the Paralympic Games in spite of having the biggest population of people with disability in the world, so for that, I’m working together with my team to support the development of athletes and NPCs in the region. 6. What do you feel are the greatest attributes you would bring to the APC Executive Board? I have an extensive knowledge of the Asian region, its capacities, its challenges, its people, etc. I will be able to defend the interests of the region. I am an active person, who speaks his mind and like to put words into action. 7. What is your vision for the APC? What do you see as strategic priority for the next years? The Paralympic movement has been growing at a fast speed in the past years, especially since London 2012. In order to keep growing while building a sustainable model that will bring legacy for the future, we need to focus on the empowerment of less developed nations. The gap between the highly developed nations and the poorer ones seems to get wider, while the Paralympic movement as a whole is growing. We need to make sure that all nations are included and that this gap reduces in the next years – we want more athletes from all over the world to have the possibility to participate in the highest level of competitions, but this starts with competitions at the local/national level. We need to identify ways to support the smaller nations to be able to have the same opportunities as the all-times medal winners. 8. What do you value most about the Paralympic Movement? I value the magic of the Paralympic Movement in transforming the life of people with impairment in supporting them to become more independent and productive individuals in their respective communities. 9. What is your definition of ‘being athlete centred’ as an organisation? Having the athlete at the centre of our preoccupations means that as an organisation we focus on providing him with the best conditions to perform to the best of his capacities. It means that we provide him with the support he needs in all areas to develop as best as possible. That includes from grass-root level to ensure that his family supports him, that he has a space and equipment to train, that his NPC supports him. It also means at a wider level that we APC Executive Board Election: Candidate Booklet 4 support the NPC to provide the best environment for him, to send him to local, national, regional, international competitions, to educate and train him further, to provide him with skilled, trained and experienced coaches, etc. 10. Have you advocated for inclusion and diversity in the past? Please describe. I have participated as lecturer in many conferences and forums about raising awareness of people with an impairment. I’m member of Dubai Government accessibility commission and working on making Dubai city as the most accessible city in the world for Disabled.

Paralympic Movement has been and still is evolving around western regions, including Europe and North America. Along with APC Secretariat and other Board members, I would like to put our efforts and capability into spread of Paralympic Movement in the region and influence of Asian in the Movement. Through that, I believe that we can unite everyone within Asia under the same goal and vision, peace and inclusion. APC Executive Board Election: Candidate Booklet 7 6. What do you feel are the greatest attributes you would bring to the APC Executive Board? As a human rights activist, social activist, and politician, I dedicated my entire life to fight for the rights of the minorities, involved in various entities, including nongovernmental organizations, National Assembly, public organization, and international governing body, and to make this world a better place. While working in National Assembly, I made it unlawful to discriminate against a persons with impairment, in many areas of public life, for the first time ever in Korea, by passing the Disability Discrimination Act in 2007.

  • 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).
