PC Suppiah was the first Singapore athlete to go below 32 min at the 10,000-m race when he clocked 31 min 59.2 sec at the 1972 Munich Olympics. Suppiah also won a surprise gold medal for the 10,000-m at the 1971 SEAP Games in Kuala Lumpur when he beat Burmese runner Hla Thien. He still holds the 10,000-m national record of 31 min 19 sec which he set in Manila in 1973.
