Read the passage and answer the questions
In May 2000, during the 10th Paralympiad Malaysian Games in Kuala Lumpur, the idea of establishing a Sports Federation for persons with disabilities at ASEAN level was endorsed in one accord by 10 Southeast Asian countries, represented by the various National Paralympic or Sports Organisations for persons with disabilities. This resulted in the birth of the ASEAN Para Sports Federation (APSF), helmed by Dato Zainal Abu Zarin as President, and its biennial Sports Championship named as the ASEAN Para Games.The name “Para” is derived from the word “Parallel”, indicating that the Games for Para-athletes are parallel with the Games for able-bodied athletes. ASEAN Para Games is a sport event held after every Southeast Asian Games for ASEAN athletes with physical disabilities, with mobility disabilities, visual disabilities, intellectual disabilities, amputees, and those with spastic and cerebral palsy. The games are typically hosted by the same country in the same year where the SEA Games would take place.
The first edition of the Games took place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (2001) followed by Hanoi, Vietnam (2003), Manila, Philippines (2005), Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand (2007), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Originally scheduled for Laos) (2009), Solo, Indonesia (2011), and Naypyidaw, Myanmar (2013).
As a befitting finale of a major year for Singapore sports, December 2015 saw Singapore hosting the 8th ASEAN Para Games. It is history in the making as it is the first time Singapore has hosted the ASEAN Para Games and a multi-sports event for the persons with disabilities of this scale. There were 15 sports in the 8th ASEAN Para Games. Beyond physical fitness, we believed in the power of sports to strengthen the character, uplift the spirits, and bond the community. The Games served as a platform for enhancing inclusiveness, encouraging our people to embrace sports, as well as promoting ASEAN solidarity. The eighth biennial Games, expected to host 3,000 athletes and officials, wrapped up Singapore’s 50th birthday celebrations. The seven-day multi-sport event had their competition venues mainly at the Singapore Sports Hub and Kallang areas.
