Temasek Hall is the pre-eminent hall of the National University of Singapore. It is so, not simply because of the legacy of sports triumphs over the years in the Inter-Hall Games but also because if one were to ask any undergraduate in NUS which hall has the most vibrant and fun people, they would unhesitatingly tell you: Temasek Hall.
