The SEAP Games? What gives? Well, if you’ve lived early enough, you’d know that the SEA games weren’t always called the SEA Games.

SEAP or South East Asian Peninsular Games, started off with only 6 participating countries in 1959 – Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

The next SEA Games Singapore held was in 1983 and 1993 but it was already renamed as SEA or Southeast Asian Games since 1977. That is the reason why I said Singapore held its First and Last SEAP Games in 1973.

There was a New Town in Singapore that played host to the SEAP Games village. Do you know where that is? Laokokok shows you more.
