Response to parliamentary question on events held at the National Stadium and Indoor Stadium

Question

Mr Muhamad Faisal Abdul Manap: To ask the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) how many events have been held at the National Stadium and Indoor Stadium respectively in 2016; (b) how many events are expected to be held at the National Stadium and Indoor Stadium respectively in 2017; and (c) whether the number of event days at the National Stadium and Indoor Stadium meets the number promised by the Singapore Sports Hub Consortium when they were granted the contract.

Response

Minister Grace Fu: In 2016, 24 events were hosted at the National Stadium and 27 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, while 2015 saw 18 and 31 events hosted at the two venues respectively. As discussions on the use of the venues are ongoing, we are unable to provide the numbers for 2017 now.

  1. More can and should be done by SHPL to enhance the vibrancy of the Sports Hub and improve the quality of its calendar of events and programming. To this end, SportSG is closely monitoring SHPL’s performance and is in regular communication with SHPL’s top management, to ensure that they remain accountable for the goals of the project and seek to maximise the value of the Sports Hub for Singaporeans.
