"The Straits Games 2013" More fun in the Philippines

Have you ever heard about The Straits Games (TSG)? Well, this is the very first time for me to hear such games and to be surprised; this game is celebrating their 12th anniversary this year. Initially, the TSG was started back on 2002 in Kuala Lumpur as a forthcoming annual sport event between the Leadership Programme for Gays (LPG) Malaysia or formerly known as Leadership Programme Garduate and Men After Work (MAW) Singapore with the spirit to promote friendship and to support a healthy lifestyle in Asian LGBT community.

The TSG also had generated participation from neighbourhood countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and the Philippine. The core sports for this TSG are badminton, bowling and volleyball besides new addition of Tennis and Squash for upcoming games.

Besides, the TSG is a good channel for Asian LGBT people, not only to promote a healthy lifestyle, but also a good occasion for real networking, with an extensive Gala Dinner to conclude the yearly event.

Back then, the TSG had cross over South East Asia countries, Hong Kong and Taiwan since last 10 years ago.
