Pesta Sukan (PS) 2023, featuring 32 sporting disciplines, took place from 29 July to 8 August across several venues islandwide. As the nation's oldest and biggest multi-sport community event, organisers Sport Singapore had initially set a target of 28.,000 participants. Lo and behold, the target well exceeded anyone's expectations, as more than 37,000 competed in 2023's PS edition.

The sport of basketball, with 4,000 participants had the largest number of competitors. Meanwhile, Indoor Volleyball saw a positive increase in the number of sign-ups for Men’s Masters 45 years and above. A total of 7 teams competed this year, as compared to 5 teams in 2022. It was highly encouraging to see players 45 years and above competing in the indoor volleyball competition.

The oldest volleyball player was 59-year-old Steven Leoh, Taman Jurong Community Sports Network (CSN). His team (Taman Jurong B) won First Runner Up in this Masters category. And over in Athletics, 74-year-old Chua Chin Leng, clinched the silver medal in the Masters 100m event. And the oldest participant Yeo Chong Lay at age 75, went on to become champion of the 1,500m Racewalk.
