An ‘axe-cellent’ effort by Hong Leong Group staff in the maiden Axe-Throwing Tournament.
“I’ve Got
The Power!”
Highlights From
Hong Leong
Olympics
Over the past month, the Hong Leong Olympics saw sparks (and darts) fly in a thrilling lineup of precision games! Participants brought their A-game and steady hands to Axe-Throwing, Table Tennis, Pool, and Darts, turning up the heat with every bullseye, break, and backhand.
Axe-Throwing
A total of 50 participants demonstrated their power and precision at the Axe Throwing Tournament, the 3rd event in our Hong Leong Olympics series. The air was filled with the loud thud of axes hitting (and missing) their marks, mixed with cheers, gasps, and edge-of-your-seat excitement. The competition was fierce, culminating in a thrilling "axe-off" for 2nd place in both the Men's and Women's singles categories.
Just your average day – colleagues smiling brightly while holding deadly weapons.
Table Tennis
The Table Tennis Tournament saw 26 participants serve up fast-paced action and intense rallies. The atmosphere was electric as powerful smashes and pinpoint serves echoed through the venue. In a nail-biting finish, defending champion Paul Lee (Hong Leong Finance Ltd) edged out Muhammad Sani (CBM Pte Ltd) to retain his Men’s Singles title - securing another win for HLF and extending their lead in the overall standings.
Smash first, apologise later. 
Putting a whole new spin on friendly competition!
Pool
What started as a casual afternoon showdown quickly turned into an epic battle of cues and cool under pressure. Kicking off at 3:30 PM, 43 players from across the Hong Leong Group brought their best angles and strategies to the table.
What no one expected was a marathon of matches stretching all the way to 12:30 AM – nearly nine hours of non-stop action! Players kept their spirits up with a shared determination to make it to the final frame. Kudos to the ladies’ doubles finalists who patiently waited for all the other matches to be completed before playing through their fight for 1st and 2nd!
A perfect example of how strategy and teamwork makes a powerful partnership!
When five pairs of eyes are more than enough to pile on the pressure!
Darts
Despite having a rocky start, the Darts Tournament competitors embraced the chaos with an admirable dose of patience.
As the game settled into rhythm, so did the competitors – finding their aim, focus and groove. The energy intensified with each well-placed throw, but the spirit of sportsmanship never wavering. Players encouraged each other and celebrated great shots regardless of the team, all having a great time. In the end, the Darts Tournament became a shining example of how a few early stumbles can't stop a great game when everyone’s in it for the fun.
The real victory is in the friendships we build along the way.
Congratulations to all our winners!
