Our SG60 Commemorative Book
For People And Country. Majulah!
As Singapore marks her 60th year of independence, this book stands as both a celebration and a commitment. “For People and Country. Majulah!” brings together 60 powerful stories, one for every year of our nationhood. Penned by 60 PE teachers across generations and profiles, these narratives echo with perseverance, sacrifice, and unyielding hope. They are stories of hardship, triumph, growth, and sacrifice – each a thread in the fabric of our national story. These stories are not just about the past – they are a call to action for the future. To continue nurturing hearts and minds; to pass the torch not just in ceremony, but in daily practice.
Told through six themed chapters, the book journeys from the field to the heart.
-
The Mission: United for Glory – the unifying spirit of sport, playing for something bigger than ourselves.
-
The Legends: Heroes Among Us – teachers, coaches, and students whose grit turns obstacles into opportunities.
-
The Moments: Triumphs that Define – pivotal incidents and quiet breakthroughs that transform lives.
-
The Identity: Strength in Diversity – how a multicultural Singapore finds common ground in learning, playing and competing.
-
The Lessons: Wisdom from the Field – resilience, teamwork, and integrity carried beyond the court.
-
The Legacy: Passing the Torch – honouring those who came before and inspiring the next generation.
As we honour six decades of Singapore’s journey – whether you are a teacher, student, parent, athlete, or simply someone who believes in the power of stories – we invite you to journey with us. May these stories move you, challenge you, and inspire you to write and share your own.
A heartfelt gift from PESTA.
