This is a disgrace. Giving up the SEA Games. Beijing did not give up hosting the Olympics did they...but then well the Chinese are more capable than Singaporeans I suppose. So we are just going to surrender it to Malaysia or Indonesia. The Thais had just successfully hosted it in a town I never heard of prior to the last SEA Games. And here we are in a city which had just hosted the 2nd F1 race, we can't make it. Surely a leap backwards for mainstream Singapore sports.
S'pore may not host 2013 SEA Games as building of Sports Hub may be delayed

SINGAPORE : Singapore's hosting of the 2013 Southeast Asia (SEA) Games may be in doubt after the Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, Vivian Balakrishnan revealed that the completion of the Sports Hub may be delayed further.
The S$1.87-billion Sports Hub, which is slated to be the main venue for the biennial games, has suffered repeated delays due to the global economic downturn.
While progress has been made to kick-start the project, it may not be completed in time for the 2013 SEA Games.
Dr Balakrishnan said a decision will be made soon on whether to continue with hosting the 2013 SEA Games, or to pass it up and host it in the future, the earliest of which is the 2015 SEA Games.
The Sports Hub, a public-private partnership project, was awarded to the Singapore Sports Hub Consortium last January and is to be built on a 35-hectare site in Kallang, featuring world class facilities, including a 55,000 National Stadium with a retractable roof. - CNA /ls
