Singapore has reached a new sporting milestone on Tuesday when it surged over 50 gold medals at the 28th SEA Games, local media reported.

Swimmer Tao Li clinched Singapore's 50th gold medal on Tuesday winning the 100-meter women's backstroke event.

After that, the "Swimmer Quan" Zheng Wen rewrote the record in winning the 400-meter individual medley.
