The Singapore Badminton Association was established in 1929. Since it was establishment, the Association has grown and developed by leaps and bounds. Today it is counted as one of the leading badminton clubs in the world. There was a time when the badminton scene in Singapore was very dismal and the conditions existing for the players were far from ideal. In adequate equipments, poor lighting facilities and mediocre badminton courts were the banes of badminton in Singapore. But with the creation of Singapore Badminton Association, the conditions underwent a sea change and situations started changing for the better.
