MediaCorp’s initiatives to unify the nation behind Team Singapore include the following:

  • On 7 March this year, MediaCorp took part in One Team Singapore @Orchard Road’s Pedestrian Night which saw artistes, radio deejays and SEA Games presenters counting down with Singaporeans 90 days of the Games.
  • In April, MediaCorp launched “The Lion’s Roar” cheer contest to search for the most energetic, fun and spirited cheer to rally Team Singapore. The winning cheer will be heard at events throughout the Games.
  • Come June, MediaCorp encourages Singaporeans to share their SEA Games moments that inspire them, hashtag #SEAGamesMoments and submit their entries on Instagram from 5 to 16 June to stand a chance at winning cash vouchers.
