Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong said his ministry values all Team Singapore athletes tremendously and will continue to work with the relevant organisations to engage corporate Singapore to celebrate their achievements. Mr Tong was responding to questions in Parliament on the issue of monetary rewards for Paralympians, which has been in the spotlight recently after SMU alumna and swimmer Yip Pin Xiu won two gold medals at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo. Each win will earn her a $200,000 reward, which is one-fifth of the pay-out for an Olympic gold.
