Stakeholders in the travel and tourism as well as meetings industries are still trying to make sense of the impact of the outbreak on their business, as airlines continue to cut flights,more travel restrictions are set, and tradeshows deliberate their continuity plans. The Covid-19 outbreak has brought out a lot of good, bad and ugly in people, and their responses have no doubt impacted the travel, tour- ism and meetings businesses. Ugly – panic is feeding racism and xenophobia, resulting in stories of verbal and physical attacks on Chinese and Asians around the world. The fear of being targeted at home or abroad is weakening travel senti- ments as much as the worry of infection. Bad – the spread of sensational and fake news around the outbreak continues to influence travel decisions, strangling travel and tourism businesses and all others linked to it like retail, F&B and transportation. But wait, there is good too, and I’ve saved the best for last. Even as travel and tourism companies struggle to stay afloat, many have found it in their heart to support the external community and their own people. Shangri-La Hotel, Wuhan prepared and delivered over 1,000 meals every day to strained local healthcare workers, while Royal Caribbean Cruises and Fosun Holdings, which owns hospitality firms like Thomas Cook China and Club Med, donated medical supplies to the Chinese government and Chinese medical institutions respectively. As job security flounders, leaders have stepped in to take care of their folks. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Singapore has programmes to ensure its staff continue to feel busy and secure about their employ- ment, while the CEO of Bespoke Travel Company, with operations in Beijing and Shanghai, worked to find alternative sources of income for her team. Love is also all around in Thailand. Local MICE stakeholders, who no doubt are facing difficulties themselves because of event cancellations and postponements, have offered to financially support the national CVB in its destination promotion campaigns. While it is easy to define this outbreak by the havoc it wrecked on Karen Yue people, we can choose to remember it by the positive human stories Group Editor that were spun as a result.

Through innovative, fun and meaningful sporting experiences, our mission is to reach out and serve communities across Singapore with passion and pride. 01 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE I have been part of the Sporting Singapore journey for six years now. As a Board Member and now Chairman of Sport Singapore, I have seen how sport has helped Singaporeans live more fulfilling lives, forge new friendships and strengthen existing ones. More importantly, I saw how sport can be a force for good as epitomised by through kin-ball. The weekly kin-ball try-out sessions our volunteers, athletes and people, are conducted by seven Team Nila volunteers and two to enable other Singaporeans to live ActiveSG Sport Champions from Pasir Ris Sport Centre, who take the opportunity to inculcate the core values better— moving us closer to becoming of respect, teamwork and inclusivity to participants. The a caring people, a cohesive society initiative also included outreach and engagement events and a confident nation. such as at the Pasir Ris-Punggol Walk which drew close to 1,400 participants in 2018. This arrangement is a big change from the usual volunteering opportunities available to Team Nila and we hope that it will enrich their experience. Team Singapore Gives Back Team Singapore athletes brought home a commendable haul of 32 medals at the 2018 Asian Games and Asian Para Games.

  • Sport in Asia: Globalization, Glocalization, Asianization
    7 Sport in Asia: Globalization, Glocalization, Asianization Peter Horton James Cook University, Townsville Australia 1. Introduction Sport is now a truly global cultural institution, one that is no longer the preserve of occidental culture or dominated and organized by Western nations, the growing presence and power of non-occidental culture and individual nations now makes it a truly globalized product and commodity. The insatiable appetite for sport of the enormous Asian markets is redirecting the global flow of sport, with the wider Asia Pacific region now providing massive new audiences for televised sports as the economies of the region continue their growth. This chapter will consider the process of sport’s development in the Asian and the wider Asia Pacific context through the latter phases of the global sportization process (Maguire, 1999). As the locus of the centre of gravity of global geopolitical power is shifting to the Asia Pacific region away from the Euro-Atlantic region the hegemonic sports are now assuming a far more cosmopolitan character and are being reshaped by Asian influences. This has been witnessed in the major football leagues in Europe, particularly the English Premier League and is manifest in the Indian Premier League cricket competition, which has spectacularly changed the face of cricket world-wide through what could be called its ‘Bollywoodization’(Rajadhyaskha, 2003). Perhaps this reflects ‘advanced’ sportization (Maguire, 1999) with the process going beyond the fifth global sportization phase in sport’s second globalization with ‘Asianization’ becoming a major cultural element vying with the previously dominant cultural traditions of Westernization and Americanization? This notion will be discussed in this paper by looking at Asia’s impact on the development of sport, through the three related lenses of: sportization; the global sports formation and, the global media-sport comple.

    LIVE BETTER THROUGH SPORTS Singapore Sports Council | 230 Stadium Boulevard Singapore 397799 | Tel: +65 6345 7111 SteeriNG COMMITtee Report 2012 www.ssc.gov.sg VISION 2030: LIVE BETTER THROUGH SPORTS 1 Contents 04 Executive Summary With Vision 2030, Singapore recognises the value of sport in advancing the national priorities of developing our people and bonding our communities. Not only does sport help people lead healthier, happier lives, it can impart the skill sets necessary to achieve success and upward mobility in life. Vision 2030 is about changing mental models to encourage people to live better lives through sports. Although the 20 final recommendations will be implemented in different phases, the Vision 2030 journey will be punctuated with many significant milestones, including the 2015 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games. 07 Shaping the Nation Singapore’s leaders have always used forward planning to enhance the development of the country. Sport took on new importance in 2001 with the release of the recommendations by the Committee on Sporting Singapore. In the past decade, the world has changed substantively with the rise of the internet and the mobile phone, the ageing population and the arrival of new citizens. Vision 2030 was formed with a view of determining how sport could align with national priorities to develop resilient, tenacious people and strong, united communities. 12 Engaging the Public In July 2011, the Vision 2030 Secretariat began its exploration of public thinking on the value that sport brought to their lives, what they would change in our sports system and how sport could best serve Singapore. From more than 500 face-to-face discussions to 60,000 unique visitors to the Vision 2030 website, Singaporeans spoke up about the desire for greater sporting opportunities and access, more inclusivity and integration as well as broader development of capabilities.

Proceedings of the Eleventh IASI World Congress, Lausanne, Switzerland, 25 - 27 April, p. 449-458, ISBN: 92-9149 073 3. * The inexorable move towards rationalisation and professionalisation reaches all comers of modem society including bodies involved with sport. However, not all elements of the process of being up-to-date receive the same attention. It is common for developing nations to employ groups of people to the task of enhancing athletic performance or increasing mass­ participation rates. These are the obvious priorities because they focus on the immediate needs of the state and the population. Somewhat less obvious is the perceived need to accumulate and safely store information pertaining to the earlier development of sport. It is a task that is assigned to a small number of individuals. Hand in hand with this - an often­ overlooked objective - is the revelatory yet frustrating task of re-discovering and re-creating \ information about past events, experiences and interactions.

  • Consuming Femininity: Nation-Nation -S--State,Sstate, Gender and Singaporean Chinese Women
    Consuming Femininity: NationNation----sssstate,tate, Gender and Singaporean Chinese Women by Wendy Poh Yoke Chew A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy undertaken at the University of Western Australia 2007 Declaration I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work and that it has not been submitted for a degree or award at this or any other university. To my knowledge it does not contain material previously published or written by another person where due reference has not been made in the text. Wendy Chew Submitted 31 August 2006 2 Abstract My research seeks to understand ways in which English-educated Chinese women in cosmopolitan Singapore bolstered their identity while living under the influences of Confucian values, patriarchal nation-building and racial concerns. My thesis examines women who have themselves been lost in translation when they were co-opted into the creation of a viable state after 1965. Often women are treated as adjuncts in the patriarchal state, particularly since issues of gender are not treated with the equality they deserve in the neo-Confucian discourse. This thesis takes an unconventional approach to how women have been viewed by utilizing primary sources including Her World and Female magazines from the 1960s and 1990s, and subsequent material from the blogosphere. I analyze images of women in these magazines to gain an understanding of how notions of gender and communitarianism/race intersect. By looking at government-sponsored advertising, my work also investigates the kind of messages the state was sending out to these women readers.
