Cover and Chairman's Foreword photos by Sport Singapore All information stated is correct at time of printing

Chairman’s Foreword This bumper issue covers many inspiring stories and events that have been staged in the last few months, particularly around our 53rd National Day. They speak of who we are and our pride; and provide glimpses of how we are journeying together through sport. In this landscape, we see our spirit of living our lives to the fullest expressed through our energy and commitment.

Our lives in sport take us beyond work and attending to responsibilities, and adds to the vibrancy and colour of our city and country. It rounds up the meaningfulness of our endeavours by bringing us closer as families, friends and neighbours, colleagues, and communities. It encourages us not just to get along, but to root for each other, and to be there when it is important to be. At home and abroad, we are defining who we are as Singaporeans through our sport and play.

I hope that you will feel inspired as you go through the chronicles in these pages.

In this edition, we also pay tribute to Mr Richard Seow, who has helmed the board of Sport Singapore from 1 October 2010 to 30 September 2018. Richard first stepped onto the board in 2006, and since then his passion for sport and people, his encouraging demeanour and inspiring leadership have provided clear direction for the work and efforts of Sport Singapore.

In his tenure as Chairman, Sport Singapore has formulated and worked towards Vision 2030; an aspiration and blueprint for how sport should be deployed as a strategy for nation building. The imprint of his leadership is plain to see when we survey Singapore’s sporting landscape today. Our infrastructure, events, the accessibility to good, affordable and inclusive programmes have made significant strides, and continue to improve and grow. Team Singapore athletes have made significant breakthroughs with the support from new high performance capabilities and systems. Coaches too are receiving more support for continuing education and development. Richard’s visionary leadership has inspired us to weave a tapestry to nurture communities and partners that will work together to enable us all to “Live Better Through Sport”.

We are continuing with the good work that Richard has spearheaded with a review of the Vision 2030 strategies and plans. As part of this review we are engaging partners and diverse stakeholders to take on broad perspectives and ideas of how we can further leverage the potential that has been created. I hope that if you are approached, or if you have views and ideas that you would engage us.

I hope you enjoy this edition of “LIVE”.

Mr Kon Yin Tong Chairman, Sport Singapore

It’s in his blood ...

RICHARD SEOW CHAIRMAN OF SPORT SINGAPORE 1 OCTOBER 2010 TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

O

ne would expect the Chairman of the Sport Singapore Board to have a rich background in sport. Richard Seow certainly ticks many of the boxes. He was a schoolboy sprint champion and played multiple sports, and is now a knowledgeable sports fan, sports parent and sports photographer that commands much respect in local sport circles. Amongst athletes, coaches, officials and administrators, he is known for being an encouraging leader who has spent time and effort to know them better and to support their efforts as best he could. To the leaders in Sport Singapore, his wise counsel and astute judgement was instrumental in enabling the momentum in Vision 2030.

100m and 200m sprints and the 80m and 100m hurdles. Interestingly, he also recounted how recess games like “one-leg catching” all had a part to play in his athletic development and physical literacy.

Encouraged by his father and mother, Gordon and Eileen Seow, sport was very much a part of Richard’s growing up years. The elder Seow was an All Malaya tennis player, a hurdler and long jumper, and later a Team Singapore golfer.

It was no wonder that Richard would fall in love with sport and become a huge proponent for its value to our lives and society.

“Tan Soo Hian gave me self-belief, my mother was at every meet I ran, and others like journalist Ernest Frieda were always encouraging; giving me tips on how to improve.” Self-belief turned into an aspiration; and the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics was the target.

He recounts what playing was like in his primary school years, which included two years in England where the family was based for a time: “I was exposed to playing football, rugby, cricket and athletics in England. We played every day, even though the school did not have a big regulation-sized field. Two or three times every week we would play against another school in the area. Everyone played something and we had several ‘school teams’ with different abilities in any one sport.”

Richard’s interest would gradually narrow down to athletics because he was fast. When he returned to Singapore in Primary 5, he ran in the

Soon he was talent spotted and was asked to meet the legendary Tan Eng Yoon, who worked at the then Singapore Sports Council. “Mr Tan asked me to run one round the track at the National Stadium and then put me on a strength and conditioning programme,” Richard recalls.

By Secondary 4, under coach Tan Soo Hian, Richard clocked his best time ever for the 100m; 10.83 seconds.

“I made the move to the University of Oregon during my first year in Junior College and I was one of the six fighting for a place in the sprint squad.” He devoured Track and Field News and its sister publication, Track Technique. “I was studying the sport and its athletes to pick up on tips for starts and racing.”

To Richard, the adjustment to the new environment was huge. “The training load was much more than I had ever experienced. This was not about the athlete but the college team, and we were all fighting for a place on the team and to try and win championships.”

In hindsight, the move may have come too soon. As a maturing athlete, every year in age

“Through the lens you learn to look at

and appreciate things quite differently.”

– Richard Seow

had a heavy count. The unrelenting training load had taken its toll and he suffered stress fractures on his shins. It became clear that 1984 was not going to happen.

Richard continued to play other sports in college. On his return to serve National Service, he won the coveted Sword of Honour as the best officer cadet from the School of Signals.

Sport continued to provide him a balance to the hectic working life of a banker, and when his children were born “the cycle started all over again”.

Now as a sports parent, he was on the sidelines as his children swam and played in team sports. He was very much the sports parent that he had experienced when he was growing up.

How did he get into sports photography? Richard smiles at the memory. “One day my wife told me that I was not setting a good example to my sons, shouting instructions and other things as I watched my kids play. She decided to get me a camera and told me to watch through the lens. Since that day she has conspired every birthday with the supplier to enhance my collection of photographic gear.”

Photography is how Richard consumes live sport now. “Through the lens you learn to look at and appreciate things quite differently.” The photos accompanying this article are a sample of his large portfolio, and illustrate his meaning. Emotions, character, spirit and the human form are all exemplified through his lens.

It would almost seem inevitable that this successful businessman would soon receive a call up to serve on the board of the then Singapore Sports Council. In all he served twelve years; eight of those as Chairman.

He recounts his aspiration for the board was to help make sport more relevant to people and Singapore society. He espouses the value of sport for every facet of life – childhood development, strong families and work teams, shared societal values and identity and more. “The key is to bring everyone along and keep building on the narrative of how we can all live better through sport.”

“What we are doing in Vision 2030 is not easy because it is multi-faceted and complex; but has great meaning. It will take a generation or two to reap the full rewards, and so we must continue to attract good people at all levels to do the work of building a persuasive narrative and experience in daily life. The attitudes of parents towards sport have shifted positively and we must keep going this way. The sporting landscape in Singapore has improved over the years, but there is still a long way to go.”

It is quite clear from his life and what he says that even as Richard steps off the board he will never be far away from Singapore sport. We may see less of him at the office but he will for sure be on the field, probably with the camera and massive lenses that have been a common sight for more than a decade.

After all, it is in his blood.

Through sport we care!

G

etActive! Singapore’s Active Enabler Programme (AEP) aimed to encourage more people to organise sporting activities for their community of friends, colleagues,and families. This year's AEP supported more than 309 ground-up applications and reached out to over 108,000 participants.

During her three children's growing up years, she has exposed them to different things such as arts, nature and sport. Comparing her first two children who are neurotypical to her youngest child who is autistic, she felt that children with special needs were lacking the opportunities usually available to kids.

Year on year, we also saw a growing number of organisations returning to participate.

One example is 'Friends of ASD Families’, an advocacy group for the autism community.

They believe that GetActive! Singapore is a great occasion for families caring for loved ones with autism to come together for a meaningful celebration with other Singaporeans.

She shared, "I am thus very motivated to bring in similar activities for children with autism so that they too get to try a variety of experiences just like any other child."

Ms Sun Meilan, third time AEP applicant, organised an outdoor activity called 'Bond through Camp’. She hoped the camp would help families with similar circumstances forge friendship with one another while experiencing an outdoor adventure together.

18

Ms Sun is thankful for the AEP as she felt that the grant has enabled the autism community to expose their children to new experiences in a safe and supportive environment. She strongly encourages more applicants to sign up for the AEP in order to expand the opportunities for the community, "This grant is open to everybody.

I’d really encourage other parents to take action, grab the opportunity and create more possibilities for the autism community through this helpful grant.”

PARTNERS WHO CARE “We are delighted to be a corporate partner of GetActive! Singapore. As an organisation, this is a great impetus for us to kick off an internal culture, where all of us can lead our own personal well being.�

INCLUSIVE SPORTS FESTIVAL 2018 Connecting Hearts

Cheered on and encouraged by the inclusive ambassador, Luke (named changed to protect his identity) firmly held on to the bat and decided to try out table tennis for the first time at the Inclusive Sports Festival this year.

Feeling ecstatic after managing to hit the ball, he turned around and gave his broadest smile to the inclusive ambassador.  Moments such as Luke’s interaction with the inclusive ambassador remind us that sport is not just a tale of winning and losing. It is also a tale of magnanimity and chivalry for meaningful connections and care.

Sense of belonging & pride W

ith a vision for cyclists to have the opportunity to experience how full time professional cyclists train, Alaric, 20, started a racing group – Yap Bicycle Compania (YBCO) Racing so named because of its sponsor Yap Bicycle Compania. Since their formation a few years ago, the cycling group has competed in local and overseas competitions and recognized GetActive! Singapore National Games (SNG) 2018 as an important milestone in their podium pursuits. “What keeps me motivated is the team possessing the teamwork to have one person up on the podium,” Alaric shared his vision for the team in competitions.

Some cycling competition formats require the team to work together so as to set up an individual – the sprinter to win the race. Setting their sights on SNG 2018’s Round Island Bike Adventure (RIBA), YBCO sent two teams to compete in the categories of Team Youth (14 to 21 years old) and Corporate Team (14 years old and above). Comprising of students and working adults, YBCO Racing trains three to four days a week clocking up to 120km each session. Some of them even put in training in the wee hours of the morning to ensure they have clocked their miles for the day.

Jin Yi from the Youth team who is a student of ITE Campus East recently won the National Team Time Trial earlier this year. Success did not come easy though as he has to fit his training around his school commitments. There was another sweet victory apart from podium success as Jin Yi recounted his health and fitness accomplishments. “I lost 18kg from cycling where I was 75kg in the past.” Standing

34

at 162cm and weighing in at 57kg now, Jin Yi’s athletic lean build is a result of early morning intensive rides a few days each week. His heart’s desire is to don the national jersey one day and represent Singapore on the world stage.

Accidents are not uncommon as well. Wan Chai, a foreigner from Myanmar, is currently studying in Singapore and part of the youth team. He shared that he has crashed while training and competing previously, but still with dogged determination pressed on in his pursuit of excellence.

As part of their training regime for SNG 2018’s RIBA, the teams train at Seletar and Mandai area which is also a training hotspot for cycling enthusiasts where they would repeat laps on the roads.

Belonging to YBCO Cycling Group has also forged strong friendships between the cyclists. Through cycling, they have also seen the good in Singaporeans – the kampong spirit as one of them coined.

“There are times that we got into accidents while training and we were pleasantly surprised by passing vehicles such as taxi drivers who would slowed down, stopped and asked us if we are okay.

Times when we may be resting by the side of the road and cars would pull over and give us water.”

At the time of interview, the team targeted to come in first during SNG 2018 RIBA. They have also set their eyes on overseas training camps after SNG to develop their cycling fitness and aim to continue competing in local and overseas competitions as part of their pursuit of cycling dreams.

ational Pride

We Are Singapore

T

he One TeamSG NDP Marching Contingent brought together Team Nila Volunteers who were proud to participate in the National Day Parade. They trained hard for four months and forged strong camaraderie among themselves and other contingents too.

S.Nallakaruppan, 54, an investment specialist, shared how he jumped on this opportunity

36

to volunteer as he sees this experience as an honour and privilege. “As a tiny red dot with no natural resources we’ve shown the world what a united people can do regardless of race, language or religion.

We come from different age groups, from students to working adults and active retirees.

The different races, be it Chinese, Malays or Indians marched together as one. The One TeamSG contingent is like a microcosm of what Singapore is and what it can do.“

he journey was not without challenges though. Four months of commitment to training was no easy feat as the volunteers had to sacrifice personal and family commitments. Not everyone had prior marching experience either.

T

and march with pride required strong teamwork.

It would be obvious if one is off. I did not have the privilege to have prior basic knowledge of marching drills, nor did I understand the commands. But, in the end, all the hard work paid off.”

Ai Ping recounted,“One of the challenges for a marching contingent was to have everyone march in perfect step and arm swing. Making sure every member plays their part so that the entire One TeamSG would stand tall, look good

When asked if they would do this again, “Yes most definitely”, Nallakaruppan reflected, “The time spent together and the friendships we’ve built over the past few months is most certainly something which money cannot buy.”

In sport, as in any other area of human effort, the first thing we remember, and the last thing we forget, is the spirit of the endeavour. The veteran who defies the years and the naysayers. The athlete who perseveres despite all the odds.

The communities that form around the common sense of purpose. They are all around us and here are some of them.

It’s an Honour

LIM WEI WEN, TEAM SINGAPORE FENCER

Photo by Singapore SEA Games Organising Committee

59

“I

t’s an honour ... to represent Singapore.”

This sums up Lim Wei Wen’s motivation for wanting to be a Team Singapore fencer.

It is this driving ambition and self-belief that propelled Wei Wen to the top of the national fencing scene.

The strapping athlete has a simple way about him that belies the depth of emotion and struggle that has marked his life. Coming from a broken home, cared for by grandparents, Wei Wen did not have a good start in life.

He vividly remembers feeling an outcast at his first day in primary school. “The teachers asked me, “Where are your parents?” I told them, “I have no parents.”” One would not imagine, given his background, that he would excel in a sport reminiscent of European bourgeoisie.

The opportunity arose in a roundabout fashion.

He enrolled in ITE so he could play tennis, but switched to fencing when he was told no tennis programme was available. That marked the start of an amazing journey of both triumph and anguish. Parents of the other students instructed their children to avoid him because he was not a “good boy”, a judgment that became self-fulfilling: he joined a gang, played truant, spent his time at gaming outlets, and got into fights. But he had a competitive streak that probably saved him: by age 17, he had become a professional gamer of some repute.

Fortunately for Team Singapore, Wei Wen ultimately chose fencing over gaming, even giving up the opportunity to represent Singapore in a world gaming tournament.

His rise in his new love was meteoric: within

60

a year of picking up the sport, he achieved a third placing at the Thai Open. He caught the eye of former national epee coach, the late Alexy Karpov, who invited Wei Wen to join the national fencing squad as a sparring partner.

It was an honour Wei Wen instinctively craved, but pride soon gave way to self-doubt.

He found it difficult to integrate into the squad.

“Other fencers asked me, “What are you doing here?” I felt I was not good enough and wanted to quit.” Urging him on with ”Earn your place!”, Karpov made a deal with him: he would personally train Wei Wen everyday at 7am at the void deck of Wei Wen’s home.

An unlikely place to find a future champion, don’t you think, but Karpov’s faith in Wei Wen paid off. At his first senior outing at the 2007 SEA Games in Korat, Thailand, Wei Wen earned a silver medal. Other successes followed, most notably Singapore’s first Asian Games fencing medal — a bronze — at the 2014 Games.

Wei Wen is currently taking a break from competitive fencing. He cherishes the faith that people throughout his life have placed in him: his grandparents, his teacher at ITE, the policeman that gave him a chance when he was caught peddling illegal VCDs, and Karpov.

He is proud to have represented his country and grateful to people who have helped him along the way.

“No matter who you are, there are people who will reach out to you as long as you respond.

I believe in our people and in our country.”

Bringing Singaporeans together through climbing ONG TZE BOON

T

he Ong Teng Cheong (OTC) Peak (4,743m) in Kazakhstan, and the Ong Siew May (OSM) Peak (4,451m) in Kyrgyzstan, are the only two mountain peaks in the world named after individuals not from within the country. How did this come about?

Avid adventurer Ong Tze Boon is the younger son of Singapore’s fifth president, the late Ong Teng Cheong, and his wife, the late Ong Siew May. In 2015, Tze Boon came across David Lim, Singapore’s first (1998) Mount Everest expedition team leader’s alpine achievements in Kazakhstan. In 2005, David had climbed a yet-unnamed mountain in Kazakhstan, and subsequently resolved to name the peak after Ong Teng Cheong, in honour of his contributions as patron of their Mount Everest expedition.

But the peak’s Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates were inaccurate, so Tze Boon reached out to Lim Kim Boon, a veteran Singapore mountaineer. Armed with mountaineering expertise and modern navigation equipment, they climbed and validated the GPS coordinates and altitude of the peak that same year.

On that expedition they spotted an adjacent virgin peak. Tze Boon thought that climbing that peak and naming it in honour of his mother would make a fitting love story: two adjacent peaks, one named after Singapore’s first elected president, the other named after his wife, Tze Boon’s mother. So they climbed and validated the second peak too.

Thus began Tze Boon’s three-year quest to get the OTC and OSM Peaks recognised by the

Mountaineering and Sport Climbing Federation of Kazakhstan. OTC Peak was recognised by the Kyrgyzstani government on 28 June 2017; OSM Peak was recognised in May 2018.

To celebrate these achievements, the Ong Foundation organised an expedition to both peaks over the National Day period this year.

The team comprising 18 commercial climbers was guided by Edwin Siew and Lim Kim Boon — both part of the first Singapore team to summit Mount Everest in 1998. A particularly heart-warming moment was when the song ’Home‘ was played in the mountains with the 18 climbers present.

Elim Chew, founder of 77th Street, was one of the climbers. “It’s because of my friendship with Ong Tze Boon for 16 years. I believe this is important to him as the mountains are named after his parents. To honour the contributions of his parents to Singapore by climbing to the summit of the mountains named after them on National day is very apt.”

Lawrence Thaddeus, founder of Runaway Success, shared similar sentiments: “When the opportunity to climb two mountains named after our beloved Former President and his wife with one of their sons on Singapore’s birthday presented itself, I simply could not resist the call.

The significance of where we were going, with whom, and when, struck deep.”

Tze Boon detailed how the Ong Foundation is committed to organising and co-funding more expeditions to the OTC & OSM peaks, to bring more Singaporeans together through climbing.

Flying the Singapore Flag SNG PUAY LIANG

Mr Sng officiating at Asian Games 2018 as a judge for the Horizontal Bar event.

Flying the Singapore Flag SNG PUAY LIANG

S

ng Puay Liang is a Singapore Gymnastics National Technical Official, and an international-level official in the sport.

His involvement with gymnastics spans many decades.

Puay Liang’s interest in gymnastics began in the 1970s, when he was in primary school, under the tutorship of his physical education teacher.

“I didn’t know what it was called back then, but I was attracted to all the fantastic and interesting things that I saw like balancing and walking on your hands and somersaults.”

In secondary school he started training in earnest. With hard work, dedication, and sacrifice, he first represented his school and then his country in international competitions.

When asked about his proudest moment in the sport, he instantly lights up and names the Women Team’s silver-medal win at the 2003 SEA Games. He remembers the occasion vividly, because of both the team’s underdog-billing and the unstinting work the team put in.

66

As an official, his service in the background is what enables others to achieve. He takes pride in that. Being an official has also tested his mettle. When faced with behind-the-scenes officiating difficulties at one Commonwealth Games competition, Puay Liang had to call upon all his resolve, discipline and focus to overcome a dispute. He feels he has emerged stronger and has learnt much from working in competitive events abroad; the most recent being the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia. “I am proud to represent Singapore in any way that I can.”

Today, Puay Liang is also the Founder, Owner and Head Coach of the successful BazGym Gymnastics School, with three locations in Singapore and Bali, Indonesia. He expresses his unwavering belief in the power of gymnastics as a foundation for other sports and athletic pursuits. He is committed to continue to fly the Singapore flag by enabling generations of gymnasts to succeed.

Survived the Japanese Occupation. Is now the oldest Olympian in Singapore. He moved to Singapore in 1953, and represented us in hockey at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics.

Today, Mr Ajit Singh Gill is 90, has been married for 51 years, is a father of five, and a grandfather

of 10. He has certainly lived a full and meaningful life, with more still to come.

Mr Gill has not played cricket and hockey for some time but still competes in golf and racewalking! His attitude towards competitive sport is mirrored in other aspects of his life. Challenges are lessons to be learned and opportunities to be grasped. His motto, what has kept him going all these years, is: “Dare to dream, never say die, and stay rooted in your values and principles”.

His advice for the younger generation is to "Stay focused, be disciplined, be positive... and eat healthily” — that last with a grin.

ery few people would consider BMX racing a popular, bustling sport today – let alone one likely to fly Singapore’s flag abroad – watch this space! Once upon a time the sport saw hundreds of riders congregating every weekend at a racing track in Tuas. Building on that legacy, and spurred by a sense of community, BMX racing is seeing a revival.

This year, 15-year-old Singaporean Mas Ridzwan came in first at the Malaysian BMX Youth National Championship series, and subsequently represented Singapore at the UCI BMX Racing World Championship in Baku, Azerbaijan.

In an equally impressive feat, veteran racer and former national elite BMX rider Ariff Jufri was crowned champion at the Indian qualifiers of the 2018 Red Bull Pump Track World Championship.

Common to both is team Tuah BMX Racing, started in 2012 by Azman Omar who ‘eats, breathes and sleeps’ BMX Racing. Mas started his racing career there, while Ariff nurtures future talents. With his team, Azman is encouraging up-and-coming riders to train and bond every weekend. The simple but universal concept of community–generations of people from different ages, backgrounds, and motivations united by a common passion–is central to these Team Singapore athletes.

TEAM BEHIND THE TEAM Prestigious award bodes well for sport science and medicine in Singapore

I

t is a prestigious award that rolls around once every four years, during the Asian Games.

Every National Olympic Council can nominate only one individual or organisation for it. Each edition of the award yields one individual and one group winner.

This year, the individual prize for the 6th Sheikh Fahad Hiroshima-Asia Sports Medicine and Science Award was awarded to the Singapore Sport Institute’s Head of Sport Science & Medicine Centre, Dr. Frankie Tan, who is also its Principal Sport Physiologist.

Frankie explained, “It is an award to promote the continued development of sport medicine and science in Asia through the recognition of accomplished individuals or groups in the field.

I was actually quite surprised to hear I’d won it!

It’s an honour as it’s a rare award in the Asian sporting community, presented once every four years during the Asian Games Olympic Council assembly.”

Noting that this award served as affirmation of Singapore’s standing in the sport science and medicine community, he also expressed hope it would motivate other sport science and medicine experts in Singapore. ”With or without the awards, though, we’re always seeking new ways to innovate. We have to move with the times and the progress of the athletes and coaches, to go alongside them and do our best to help improve their daily training environment and, ultimately, their performance.

We can then keep inspiring ourselves to continue on our journey towards excellence, signifying our effectiveness and ability to value-add to the athletes”, he said.

The 2018

WORLD CITIES SUMMIT ’Liveable & Sustainable Cities: Embracing the Future through Innovation & Collaboration‘, presented the stage for Sport Singapore to host a lively discussion on developing social resilience through sport and physical activity.

This year’s Summit, held from 8-12 July, was the sixth in the series and saw 24,000 trade attendees from 128 cities representing 125 countries and regions attending.

From left to right: Dr Gillian Koh (Deputy Director (Research), Institute of Policy Studies), Lim Teck Yin (CEO, Sport Singapore), Tove Okunniwa (CEO, London Sport UK), Sarah Sandley (CEO, Auckland Aktive NZ), David Portas (Founder, Portas Consulting)

SOCIAL RESILIENCE THROUGH SPORT AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

S

port Singapore collaborated with the Centre for Liveable Cities to organise a conference on the theme of ’Social Resilience Through Sport and Physical Activity‘. Perspectives were shared on how ’Active Citizens‘ enable resilient communities to form by virtue of their contribution to overall societal health and wellness, and social connection.

The conference was briefed on the findings of the inaugural “Active Citizens Worldwide” project, which was a collaboration between the founding cities of Singapore, Auckland and London. Discussions were centred around the

100

models and comparisons across the three cities, and the strategies for investments in people and infrastructure.

At the Singapore Pavilion visitors were updated on the latest developments in Singapore sport and sampled advice on Active Health by our Booth Ambassadors. Together with the People’s Association, we also co-hosted Summit delegates to a guided tour of Our Tampines Hub.

ACTIVE HEALTH

For everyone

GetActive! Singapore 2018 provided many opportunities to reach out to people of all ages to encourage them to take ownership of their health. Active Health featured in activities across the Singapore Sports Hub, more than 10 festival sites including Geylang Serai, Chinatown, and Little India, parks at West Coast and Bishan, to name a few.

Active Health Mobile vehicles were deployed islandwide — to schools, housing estates, and other locations.

S

port Singapore leverages on ActiveSG to encourage Singaporeans to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Whereby, Active Health elements are incorporated into ActiveSG programmes and events so that the Active Health knowledge for every life stage is reinforced at each lesson and experience.

106

At the recent GetActive! Singapore 2018, our footprint spanned across the Singapore Sports Hub, more than 10 festival sites including Geylang Serai, Chinatown and Little India, park activations at West Coast and Bishan.

Reaching the masses 78

preschools participated in GetActive!

Singapore through the ground-up Active Enabler Programme. It was fantastic to see these young ones celebrating National Day through play and physical activity.

Engaging the children at the PCF Sparkletots Preschool @Bishan East involved simple conversations on healthy habits, interest in sports, and experiencing the significance of National Day through song (“We Are Singapore”) and exercise movements.

An experience booth was set up at the ActiveSG Bukit Gombak Sports Centre to introduce the four domains of Active Health (Physical Activity, Nutrition, Sleep, Screen Time) during the Bukit Batok community’s brisk walking session. These booths are now a common feature for all our engagements.

Residents were introduced to the Sit-to-Stand test; a physical fitness assessment for muscular endurance, which is important for functional capacity in their daily activities.

Functional fitness exercises and ActiveSG programmes were introduced as next steps for members of the community to take towards maintaining their active lifestyle as a community group.

For the Sembawang Community Sports Day, at the ActiveSG Woodlands Sports Centre we joined up with the Sembawang Community Sports Club and incorporated Active Health elements into warm-up exercises.

he 1st edition of Singapore Press Holding’s Feel Fab Festival was held on 21 to 22 July 2018, engaging working adults with a showcase of trending programmes in fitness, lifestyle and nutrition.

ActiveSG partnered Radical Fitness that is behind innovative training programmes like Fightdo, Oxigeno and Megadanz. Active Health experts took to the stage to lead the Active Health warm-up exercises to emphasize the importance of moving right to gain the most out of our time spent exercising.

McDonald’s Singapore came onboard as the first corporate partner for this year’s GetActive!

Singapore. Working with McDonald’s to design a holistic and executable plan, its leadership team set the tone by initiating themselves into the Active Health programme and creating opportunities to get their employees to embark on this active journey with them.

Our team has helped to customise exercises for the restaurant teams to encourage the habit of improving mobility whilst at work. The Great Ronald Workout was also designed to engage residents and McDonald’s employees to experience fun and fitness at the various park outlets.

AYAM MASAK MERAH (SERVES 4)

BY CHERYL TEO, SPORT DIETITIAN

This healthier version is made without deep frying, which reduces the formation of inflammatory trans-fats. The garlic and onion-rich rempah, or spice paste, is full of anti-inflammatory allicin.

This dish therefore gives you a double dose of anti-inflammatories and yet is full of flavour.

INGREDIENTS 3 medium onions (~150g), peeled and roughly chopped 5cm ginger (~20g), peeled 5 garlic cloves (~20g), peeled ½ cup (~125ml) oil 4 tomatoes, roughly diced 300g chilli paste 1 lemongrass, bruised 5-6 kaffir lime leaves, roughly torn, centre stalk removed 1 cinnamon stick 1 star anise 1-2 cups water 3-4 tbsps sugar 1½ tsps salt

INSTRUCTIONS 1. Blend onions, ginger and garlic into a paste.

2. Heat ½ cup oil in a pot. Stir-fry paste on moderate-high heat for about 10-15 mins or till caramelised.

3. Add chopped tomatoes, chilli paste, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves, cinnamon stick and star anise. Cook for about 10-15 mins.

4. Add 1 cup water, more if necessary, to the paste.

Season with sugar and salt. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

5. Add chicken thighs to the sauce. Simmer on low or moderate heat for about 15 mins or until cooked. Add evaporated milk and stir to mix.

Serve with rice and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

1 kg chicken thighs, skin removed 2 tbsps evaporated milk
