Unpinned - The story of Singapore Olympic Foundation-Peter Lim Scholarship recipient Danielle Lim Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) 2020-05-20 | Danielle was forced to get acquainted with the idea of wrestling from young.ย As a child, with an abusive father, she grew up thinking violence within a family was the norm.When this abuse turned to absence, putting meals on the table became the new struggle for her mother, siblings and her. Even scrambling 50 cents together for a bland meal of porridge could be too much to ask.ย But she had her mother's strength as example through it all, and made a simple promise to herself: to never break her mother's heart. So Danielle rejected bitterness, embraced forgiveness, and vowed instead to make good of every opportunity that comes her way.ย Today, the Singapore Olympic Foundation-Peter Lim scholarship recipient wrestles not with the challenges of life, but her competitors across the wrestling mat. This is her story.

When the Stars Align (Directors Cut) Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) 2018-11-19 | Few would recognise the sports pioneers of Singapore. They are the everyday โauntiesโ and โunclesโ at the coffee shops and HDB void decks. Some has passed on, some forgotten, and many are still walking amongst us today. When the Stars Align is a documentary about Singaporeโs first three women Olympiansโ trailblazing spirit in the 1950s, when society's perception of women and sports were conservative. Times were difficult and there was very minimal support for sports back then. This film is in honour of their courage, perseverance and candor to life. The title When the Stars Align is synonymous to the lives of the three protagonists: Having experienced the Olympic Games, and influenced each other in the realm of athletics. As their paths crossed, they inadvertently left a legacy for the younger generations. Their life after sports was a beginning of yet another race to where they are today.Funded by Honour Singapore and supported by the SNOC, watch this special director's cut version of the documentary by filmmakers Brenda Er and Jasmine Teh as they embarked on a journey of discovery and formed new friendships with Tang Pui Wah, Mary Klass and Janet Jesudason.
