17/50: Former National Stadium

The Former National Stadium holds a precious spot in the collective memories of this nation. It has held many events in its 44 years of history, but nothing - not even any of the 18 NDPs - could be more important than when it held the Malaysian Cup thrice during 1977, 1980 and 1994. For it was then when the Kallang Roar was created, when the Lions beat Malaysia to win the Cup and the football fans erupted in such a victorious celebration it became the epitome of sports in this little red dot.
