FORTUNATELY FOR THE MILLENNIALS and Gen Z\nfolk, Pesta Sukan (or 'sports festival' in Malay) will soon\nno longer just be a fond memory of our parents and\ngrandparents. This year, GetActive! Singapore is\nbringing back the well-loved festival from 1-10 August\nin commemoration of Singapore's Bicentennial and our\nsporting heritage.
\n\n    
 
\n\n    \n
While Pesta Sukan originally featured events like\nmass jogging, cycling and dragonboat when it first\nlaunched in 1964, it will now be given a modern update\nto include up to 24 different sports. Among these,\naquatics, badminton, dragon boat, fencing and indoor\nvolleyball will be held at the Singapore Sports Hub. For\nthose looking for family-friendly fun, non-competitive\nmass events such as a round-island bike adventure,\nCanoe Discovery and Adventure Race @ Sentosa have\nalso been planned as integral parts of the festival.
\n\n\n    
 
\n\n
Most importantly, GetActive! Singapore will\ncontinue to drill through themes of care and giving\nby encouraging Singaporeans to organise inclusive activities and raise funds through sporting activities. The\nfestival targets to achieve 500,000 acts of care — which can\nbe any helpful act such as volunteer work, donation or simply\na nudge to get others to live healthier lives — in the lead-up\nand during the period of Pesta Sukan.
\n\n\n   
\n        \n        
BLAST FROM THE PAST
\n       \n        
1 The inaugural edition of Pesta Sukan in 1964 was\nlaunched by then-Minister for Culture S Rajaratnam.
\n        \n        
2 After Singapore gained independence on 9 August\n1965, the festival was briefly renamed Pesta Sukan\nMinggu Merdeka and became an annual feature of the\nNational Day celebrations.
\n        \n        
3 In 1971, the first Asian Wimbledon tournament was\norganised in conjunction with Pesta Sukan, attracting\ntop tennis players in the region to Singapore.

BY THEIR SIDE
\n        
 
\n        
Four decades is a long time to support a football club but as Here to Play discovered, Spurs superfan Ignatius Kaltz isn't\n            looking back any time soon. The 49-year-old retiree shares more about his love for the eight-time FA Cup champions.
\n        
What attracted you to Spurs?\n            
 Back when I was seven years old, I caught a glimpse of the Spurs jersey. I can't remember if it was on TV or in the newspaper, but the jersey\n            made me curious about the club and I haven't looked back since.
\n        
How has the team evolved in the four decades since?\n            
 It has become a lot steadier — their gameplay is tighter and their profile has been raised. There has definitely been a lot of growth,\n            which has been a joy to watch.
\n        
Who's your favourite all-time Spurs player and why?\n            
 Without a doubt, Paul Gascoigne, aka Gazza. I think any other Spurs fan would agree - that man was magnificent in his day.
