The recently concluded ASEAN Para Games in Singapore, the biggest para sports event in Southeast Asia, is a celebration of the achievements and potentials of athletes with disabilities. This is the eighth edition of the games with the first one held in Malaysia back in 2001.

The word para in the Para Games comes from parallel and is used to show how athletes with disabilities are equal to those who are able-bodied.
