The games' first gold medal was also won by the Singapore water polo team.

Expectations

Singapore entered the games with no official medal targets, but local media the Straits Times predicted 30 gold medals. The target is set lower than that for the previous games, as sports where Singapore traditionally does well, such as sailing, gymnastics and bowling were not featured in the games.{{cite web |url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/specialreport/news/1022694_128/1/.html |title=Channelnewsasia.com - Special Reports |website=www.channelnewsasia.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091220222751/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/specialreport/news/1022694_128/1/.html |archive-date=2009-12-20}}
