The 22nd Southeast Asian Games were held in Hanoi, Vietnam from 5 December to 13 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 designed by 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 people, the Golden Buffalo symbolizes a golden harvest, prosperity,
happiness, power and the Vietnamese martial spirit.
