Congratulations everyone. You have done us proud by adding yet another first in our long list of accolades.

I hope the organising committee will install a second-by-second countdown billboard in a prominent place to create the excitement and expectations from now till the Games' Grand Opening.

The timer-display board should be a showpiece that both tourists and Singaporeans would like to take memorial pictures of as souvenirs to show it to their friends and grandchildren.
