Congratulatory Note - Dr Michael Koh

Dear friends of the SPEA,

It is indeed a milestone for any association to hit a 50th anniversary. Foremost, it speaks voluminously of the commitment of the fraternity to uphold the importance of the mission of the association. This commitment is translated into a sustained endeavour by its members to nurture a nation of people through continuous self-renewal, self-improvement, and self-reflection. 

So, to everyone who has played a role in the development of Physical Education, kudos to you. Your unstinting effort has kept the vision of SPEA in sharp focus and relevant even as society evolves and accelerates its pace of change with the advent of Artificial Intelligence. 

As you look ahead into the crystal ball of the next 50 years and longer, I hope that the fraternity will embrace technology and leverage its potential as a tool to enhance the quality of PE experiences as it plays out in schools and society. Use it to good effect to augment your hard work and to enhance your effort in championing the cause of PE.

On that note, Happy 50th Anniversary. I wish you many rewarding years ahead as you continue your journey to transform our society, which will emphasize the truly important things in life, beginning with health. 

Sincerely, 

Dr Michael Koh

President, SPEA 2006-2008
