Shanti lights up the little red dot


Sensational: Singapore runner Shanti Pereira celebrates her 100m silver medal win. — S.S.KANESAN/The Star

IT’S a little red dot with a population of fewer than six million, even less than Selangor. Yet, Singapore celebrated a glorious moment when it produced the fastest woman in Asia over 200m.

The plucky Shanti Pereira is already the best in South-East Asia over both the 100m and 200m, and was just pipped to second place in the Asian Games 100m.
