The biennial Hong Leong Olympics kicked off in March as members took aim in the Archery Tournament. A total of 30 participants spent their Saturday morning trying to arrow their way to podium positions.

After some intense battles, City Developments Ltd shot to the lead after coming in 1st and 3rd positions for both the Men’s and Women’s categories, with Hong Leong Finance Ltd taking 2nd position for both categories.

Later in the month, we shifted from competition to calm with a hands-on Kokedama Workshop to celebrate World Planting Day. Members got their hands dirty as they learnt about the history of kokedama (the Japanese art of crafting moss-covered plant balls) and the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi. The results? Unique, Instagram-worthy kokedamas after a refreshing evening of creativity, connection, and a little green therapy.

After the short reprieve, it was back to the competition! Over 60 enthusiastic members came together for the second thrilling installment of our Hong Leong Olympics series at the 80RR Fintech Hub Event Hall.

Participants put their minds and reflexes to the test across three exciting events – strategic thinking in Reversi, steady hands in Carrom, and sharp observation in the Jigsaw Puzzle challenge.

Kudos to all the Jigsaw Puzzle teams for persevering through 3 and a half hours of strained eyes and sore necks and backs until the winning 3 teams completed their jigsaws!

Congratulations to all the winners!
