On the afternoon of 1st August 2009, Saturday, the Flag Presentation Ceremony was held at Raffles City where loud cheers and applause shook the building as the ceremony began.
A short speech was first made by Mr. Raja Singh. Following the speech was the presentation of the state flag by the respective Chef De Missions to the flag bearers for the ASEAN Para Games, Tay Wei Ming and Asian Youth Para Games, Yip Pin Xiu.
During the event, the athletes also pledged to give their 100 percent commitment for Singapore and never give up. Their hard work and perseverance was truly commendable.
Not forgetting the YTSA, the enthusiastic cheers led by the instructors brought the event to a higher level of fun and excitement which painted a beautiful setting to mark the end of the event.
With their determination and ‘never give up’ spirit, lets all give our support to the athletes. All the best! =D
