Singapore, 12 August 2009 – Crocodile International Pte Ltd, a home-grown

company with over 60 years of experience in the apparel industry, today

signed a sponsorship agreement with the Singapore Youth Olympic Games

Organising Committee (SYOGOC) as the Official Apparel Partner for the

Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games. Some 30,000 technical officials, torch

bearers, torch relay escorts and workforce will be dressed by Crocodile

International.
Mr GOH Kee Nguan, Chief Executive Officer of SYOGOC, says, "I am very happy

that a local small-medium enterprise has come forward to partner us in

organising this inaugural event. The uniform is an important part of the

Games. It not only serves as a form of identification but it will also

reflect our vision of the Games.
What is also significant is that the uniforms will be designed by a

Singapore company. Singapore 2010 is an important global platform for local

companies to promote their products and showcase their capabilities. I look

forward to the partnership with Crocodile International as well as more

local companies coming forward to take part in Singapore 2010."

Mr ANG Boon Tian, Chief Executive Officer of Crocodile Group of Companies,

says, "We are proud to be part of the first Youth Olympic Games. As a

home-grown fashion brand, we are extremely excited about the opportunity

entrusted to us. Our team will strive to incorporate the vibrancy of the

Games with the unique flavour of our country for this coming historic

event. This is a challenge as well as an opportunity to showcase our

capability. We believe that such an association extends our brand from the

fashion arena to the sports arena, and it goes very well with the brand's

ongoing effort to reach out to the younger generation."

As Official Apparel Partner, Crocodile is also licensed to produce and

distribute the official YOG merchandise. These items include apparel and

accessories like caps and eyewear.
