Vision 2030 is a joint project led by the Singapore Sports Council and the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports with active participation from the public, people and private sectors. From July 2011, the Vision 2030 Team engaged in discussions with people from all walks of life, from executives to parents to youth to civil servants. We met with sports leaders, urban planners, teachers, volunteers, doctors, retirees and stay-at-home mums. We began every conversation with a basic question: How could sport best serve Singapore in the coming decades?
At Vision 2030, we believe that sport can help to maintain Singapore’s social integrity and economic strength. Sport can help us overcome the challenges being presented by an ageing population, rising regional and international economic competition and the increased diversity within our multicultural, multiracial society. Sport is more than winning medals or keeping fit. Sport can be employed as a national strategy to stimulate positive, deeply embedded values for Singaporeans and our nation.
By its very nature, sport develops the attributes that we want and need to compete in the evolving global conditions: a winning spirit, a respect for teamwork, a commitment to leadership and, yes, a love of country. These are principles that we want firmly rooted, not just in our athletes but throughout our society, in our workforce, our professionals, our educators, our policy planners and our uniformed and public service officers.
This is the spirit of Vision 2030. Live better through sports.
