hi ppls... this blog is almost dead... lolz... let me post smthg to revive it... gotten this topic from the newpaper on 14 Jan 2007...
its an issue about an atletic being rewarded if he/she is an olypic, Asian, Commonealth or SEA games medallist.... but if he/she shld slog all the way up to become a WORLD champion in his/her chosen sport... he/she cannot expect a single cent...
under the Singapore National Olypic Council's Multi-million Dollar Award Programme (MAP), there is no monetary reward scheme for other major events such as our own Petanque world championship or junior world...
ere are oso some cases reported... remy ong... our national bowler got $416,000 by winnning 3 gold medals in Asian games but got nothing for winning the WORLD championships for bowling, an event widely regarded as bowling's most prestigious event...does this imply that an asian bronze medal is considered a better acheivement than a world title???
case number 2: theresa goh is sinapore's disabled swim star... she recently won the world number 1 for her swimming category... compare to Tao Li, who is oso our national swimmer, she got nothing for winning the world title but Tao Li got $250,000 bonus under the MAP rewards scheme for winning an event in the recent Asian games held in Doha... one got nothing for winning a world title... the other got a quater of a million for an Asian games gold medal... is it fair???

the MAP rewards scheme pictures extracted from the newpaper
ppl who have opinions to voice out may go to http://singaporeatlarge.blogspot.com to take part in a poll or post ur views there... petanquers... remember this rewards scheme invovle us as a national atletics... voice out if u have any things to say...
