The driving force behind the building of the former National Stadium was pioneer Law Minister E.W. Barker. Through the E.W. Barker endowment, a fund set up by Temasek and managed by Temasek Foundation Nurtures, our young athletes today will make their own mark in history. With programmes focusing on education and professional development, Temasek Foundation Nurtures supports Singapore Sports School in nurturing young sporting talent.
