The plan is for the facility to host the Southeast Asia Age Group Swimming Championships as a test event in mid-June, said Mr Chay. A report published by the South China Morning Post in July cited unnamed sources who said the swimming events had to be relocated as costs were underestimated in the initial bid.
"To this end, we have undertaken detailed planning and implemented stringent budget measures, taking reference from the learnings of previous hosts of the championships as well as Singapore’s experience in hosting other large-scale sporting events," he said. At an event on Friday, the Pan Pacific Hotels Group, Trans-Eurokars Mazda and OCBC were unveiled as the event’s hotel, automobile and banking partners respectively.
