A series of firsts, an abundant medal haul from the SEA Games create the perfect mood for our 60th National Day. 

THE nail-biting and intense 29th South-East Asian (SEA) Games is finally over, and what a great achievement it was! I would like to congratulate all our athletes who participated, fought hard and made us proud to be the overall champion.
