About Singapore Open

Singapore Silat Federation (“SSF”) organized its 2nd Singapore International Open (Senior) in
conjunction with 2nd World Junior and 1st Pre-Junior International Pencak Silat Championship in
the Bedok Sports Complex, Sports Hall, was ten (10) years back in the year 2007.

This time around, with Pencak Silat having its first debut in 18 th Asian Games in 2018 which will
be held in Jakarta, Indonesia, it is the time once again to invite the world countries to take part
in the Pencak Silat Championship considering it as one of the benchmark to evaluate and witness
the athletes’ mental and skill preparations for bigger championships.

Targeting at five hundred (500) athletes taking part, all from different region, different race,
different value, different background, with one mission and one purpose, to prove their abilities
in the sport which is known as a traditional and old form of self-defence still draws the crowd
worldwide.

This event is witness to the universality of Pencak Silat, as an art and sport, which can be easily
practiced by people of all ages, races and culture. And it is easy to see the reason why Pencak
Silat spread drastically since its medieval days in the Malay sultanate.

Pencak Silat is upheld for its traditional art form by lovers of culture and the art, and at the same
time practices by sports enthusiasts as a form of self-defence and exercise.

With its solid foundation, the Silat fraternity can go far, and not only stop till the Asian Games,
but continue to spread and inducted in the Commonwealth Games, and targeting at Olympic
Games in the year 2032.

Pencak Silat – Pencak Silat is a martial art believed stemming the majority from the Malay
Archipelago and Indonesian’s heritage. It translates to “fighting by many techniques of self-
defense”. It has four (4) main components – mental spirit, art and culture, self-defense, and sport.

The whole aspect is considered, and all elements are paramount during competition. It can be
practiced purely for fitness, for aesthetics or with martial arts focus. The large variety that are
deployed in Pencak Silat encapsulate it uniqueness.

In the sports context, Silat is categorized into two categories; Match and Artistic.

Over the years, Pencak Silat has transcended into many countries outside South East Asia
including Holland, Germany, Italy, South Africa, France, Japan, and more. The sport has since
become a part of many people’s lives and a vehicle to bring people closer.

an important contributor of regional and international awards and accolades to Singapore sports.
Mission – To be the beacon for Pencak Silat in Singapore, promoting it as a wholesome sport for
ALL and nurturing those with the attributes for “competitive Silat to realize their maximum
potential.

Singapore Silat Federation or also known as Persekutuan Silat Singapura (PERSISI) was formed in
1976 and is registered with the Registry of Societies (UEN Number S76SS0039A). PERSISI has been
successfully registered and renewed with Institution of a Public Character (IPC000526) yearly,
and received its Charity status under the Charities Act since April 2011. Singapore Silat Federation
is also certified with ISO 9001:2008 from Guardian Independence Certification since its first
certification in November 2009.

Currently there are 18 affiliates and 25 Silat clubs that are actively conducting Silat lessons in
Singapore, island-wide. Singapore Silat Federation is the main governing body for the sport
covering large scopes, such as; the management of Silat activities, coaching, talent-scouting,

- 16 (and counting) of our national athletes has graduated from SSP. And every year Silat is given
spots by SSP for our national athletes to board and study there!

The Silat Centre of Excellence - located at Bedok Sports Complex, is an integral asset to our home-

About Singapore
A long time ago, Singapore was once
known as Sea Town.

While the earliest known historical

records of Singapore are shrouded in
time, a third century Chinese account
describes it as "Pu-luo-chung", or the
"island at the end of a peninsula". Later,
the city was known as Temasek ("Sea
Town"), when the first settlements were
established from AD 1298-1299.

During the 14th century, this small but strategically-located island earned a new name. According
to legend, Sang Nila Utama, a Prince from Palembang (the capital of Srivijaya), was out on a
hunting trip when he caught sight of an animal he had never seen before. Taking it to be a good
sign, he founded a city where the animal had been spotted, naming it “The Lion City” or
Singapura, from the Sanskrit words “simha” (lion) and “pura” (city).

The city was then ruled by the five kings of ancient Singapura. Located at the tip of the Malay
Peninsula, the natural meeting point of sea routes, the city flourished as a trading post for vessels
such as Chinese junks, Arab dhows, Portuguese battleships, and Buginese schooners.

The Raffles Effect

The city's strategic location made it an

ideal trading hub.
Modern Singapore was founded in the
19th century, thanks to politics, trade
and a man known as Sir Thomas
Stamford Raffles.
During this time, the British Empire was
eyeing a port of call in this region to base
its merchant fleet, and to forestall any
advance made by the Dutch. Singapore,
already an up-and-coming trading post
along the Malacca Straits, seemed ideal.

Raffles, then the Lieutenant-Governor of Bencoolen (now Bengkulu) in Sumatra, landed in

Singapore on 29 January 1819. Recognising the immense potential of the swamp-covered island,
he helped negotiate a treaty with the local rulers and established Singapore as a trading station.

The city quickly grew as an entrepot trade hub, attracting immigrants from China, India, the
Malay Archipelago and beyond.

In 1822, Raffles implemented the Raffles Town Plan, also known as the Jackson Plan, to address
the issue of growing disorderliness in the colony. Ethnic residential areas were segregated into
four areas. The European Town had residents made up of European traders, Eurasians and rich
Asians, while the ethnic Chinese were located in present-day Chinatown and south-east of
the Singapore River. Ethnic Indians resided at Chulia Kampong north of Chinatown, and Kampong
Glam consisted of Muslims, ethnic Malays and Arabs who had migrated to Singapore. Singapore
continued to develop as a trading post, with the establishment of several key banks, commercial
associations and Chambers of Commerce. In 1924, a causeway opened linking the northern part
of Singapore to Johor Bahru.

Did you know?

Singapore’s first architect George D. Coleman arrived in Singapore in 1822, and his earliest
project was the Residency House for Sir Stamford Raffles. He also created many Palladian-style
houses.

War and Peace

Allied forces surrendering in 1942.

Singapore’s prosperity suffered a major

blow during World War II, when it was
attacked by the Japanese on 8 December
1941. The invaders arrived from the
north, confounding the British military
commanders who had expected an
attack by sea from the south. Despite
their superior numbers, the Allied forces
surrendered to the Japanese on Chinese
New Year, 15 February 1942. It was the largest surrender of British-led forces in history. The
island, once feted as an “impregnable fortress”, was renamed Syonan-to (or “Light of the South
Island” in Japanese).

When the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the island was handed over to the British Military
Administration, which remained in power until the dissolution of the Straits Settlement
comprising Penang, Melaka and Singapore. In April 1946, Singapore became a British Crown
Colony.

The Road to Independence

Singapore has come a long way to

become what it is today.

In 1959, the growth of nationalism led to

self-government, and the country’s first
general election. The People’s Action
Party (PAP) won a majority of 43 seats
and Lee Kuan Yew became the first
prime minister of Singapore.

In 1963, Malaysia was formed,

comprising of the Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo (now Sabah). The
move was meant to foster closer ties. However, Singapore’s merger proved unsuccessful, and
less than two years later on 9 August 1965, it left Malaysia to become an independent and
sovereign democratic nation.

Today, many slices of Singapore’s multi-cultural, colonial and wartime past are preserved in and
around the city. You can visit monuments, museums and memorials, or for a real trip through
time, take a walk along a heritage trail. http://www.visitsingapore.com/travel-guide-tips/about-
