117th IOC Session 2005

I am especially proud and honoured of Singapore holding the 117th IOC Session 2005. And Singapore has done a tremedously great effort in not only holding it, but also promoting the multi-culture, unique and garden city. The session has just offically been open at 7.30pm Singapore-Hong Kong time at the Esplanade Theatre. My vote goes to Paris. However New York has put in a lot of effort in the Olympic Stadium there. It is not very nice of London to put Paris down earlier on. Whatever the result is, I trust the commitee's choice and have confidence in the country for hosting the Olympics in 2012.
