Ms Lim Heem Wei, the newly-appointed chef de mission to Team Singapore for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, welcomed the Queen’s Baton at Jewel Changi Airport on 18 January and toured some Singapore landmarks with it. She was joined by her assistant chef de mission, Mr Amirudin Jamal and national gymnast Mr Terry Tay. The Queen’s Baton traveled across the island on a three-day tour and it departed for Malaysia on 20 January.

“The 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games were defining moments in my career as an athlete. Being able to return to the Games as chef de mission is a tremendous privilege. I wish all athletes who are aiming to qualify for the Games all the best and look forward to working with them and their respective national sports associations in their preparations. I am also very pleased to have the support of Amirudin, my fellow Team Singapore teammate who was in the same 2010 and 2014 Commonwealth Games contingent,” said Heem Wei.

During its time here, it will be carried by Baton bearers including athletes who are aspiring to qualify at the Birmingham Games and representatives of the sporting community.
