Ng Chin Hui placed fourth as a 17-year-old in the men's 400m in his maiden appearance at the SEA Games in 2011. Four years on, he aims to medal and avoid the same heartbreak.

With defending champion Mok Ying Ren injured, Rui Yong faced tough competition from Thailand’s Boonthung Srisung and a strong field to the gold medal. However, after leading for more than half of the race, the Thai did not have enough in the tank to hold off Rui Yong's kick in the last 200 metres.

Raymond Scott Lee had a late start in his pet event – the 400m hurdles. But playing catch-up has not fazed the 19-year-old Angus Ross Prize winner as he heads into the SEA Games as Singapore's top 400m hurdler and remembers a lesson of resolve from his first medal at National Schools level.

Benny Lam took up discus throwing slightly over a year ago and has established himself as the Republic's top discus thrower in that time, improving over 12 metres from his first throw recorded at a competition to hold a current personal best of 47.11m.

Landdis Su was a medal-winning distance runner at inter-school level who has successfully transformed himself into one of the nation's best discus throwers. At the SEA Games, against bigger opponents, he believes the key to throwing further than he has before is to purge doubt of his own ability.

Hannah Lee will represent Singapore in the discus throw and shot put. She has surpassed the silver medal-winning mark of the last Games in the discus event and will be only the second local-born Singaporean to win a medal in a throws event if she does so.
