The 22nd Southeast Asian Games were held in Hanoi, Vietnam from 5th December to 13th

December, 2003. The Games were opened by Vietnamese Prime Minister Phan Van Khai in the newly
constructed My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi. The games torch was lit by Nguyen Thuy Hien of Wushu.
It was the first time in the SEA Games history that the Games venues were assigned into two cities namely
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

The 22nd SEA Games logo of Painter Nguyen Chi Long is based on a legendary bird named “Chim

Lac”. The bird decorated the Ngoc Lu Bronze drum, a typical antiquity of the ancient Dong Son

Vietnamese culture. The Emblem is composed of harmonious and vigorous curves, creating a feeling of
movement and strength which conforms to the Olympic Spirit: “Faster, Higher and Stronger”. The colorful
whirls represent the tough competitiveness in sports.

The Games’ hymn was “For the World of Tomorrow”, composed by Nguyen Quang Vinh. Painter
Nguyen Thai Hung chose “Trau Vang”, the golden water buffalo as the mascot for the 22nd SEA Games.

With a gentle and harmonious nature, the clever Buffalo has become synonymous with the water and rice
civilization that is so important in Vietnam as well as in other Southeast Asian countries. To Vietnamese
