Since it gained independence in 1965, Singapore has gone through several stages of sports development. From the 60’s and 70’s to early 90’s, the main focus was to provide opportunities for participation by all, rich or poor, young or old, in some forms of sports and physical recreation throughout life. “Sports-for-all” were the buzz words. Since the early 90’s, the focus has shifted to sports excellence whereby the athletes have been encouraged to do well in the international sporting arena to bring glory and pride to the nation. During the Committee of Sporting Singapore (CoSS) years, from 2001 to the present (and going into 2010), the emphasis became more comprehensive and holistic. The three pillars of sports for all, sports excellence, and sports industry received almost equal attention from the government. The establishment of the Sporting Culture Committee (SCC) in 2007 and the release of the SCC report signified a further move to build and nurture the overall sporting culture in Singapore. The attention, resources, and support for sports provided by the Singapore government in the recent years have been unprecedented. From the construction of the Singapore sports hub and the racing track to the hosting of the first ever F1 Grand Prix city night circuit and the inaugural Youth Olympics, the sporting scene in Singapore could not be any brighter. The sports industry is positioned to become one of the sun-rise industries. This paper aims to provide an overview of the sports development in Singapore.
