Malaysia is more generous to Medal winner.
Malyasia silver medallist now is rewarded
TOTAL:RM 1,040,000 or S$ 433,000--read below for details.
vs Singapore Silver medal cash reward S$500,000,
(just 15% higher than MY's reward).
http://www.snoc.org.sg/files/mapaward.pdf
If u compare the GDP per capita of SG is 3.7 time (US$49,700 at PPP)
of Malaysia(US$13,300 at PPP),the SG reward is low compared
with MY's reward.
Treat the reward as buying advertisement time for Singapore
u can give me a long list of why we need to promote sports,
like promoting Fight to Win spirit,We can do it spirit ...
Enhance this or that spirit
I have another version from marketing point of view.
How many audiences and readers of the Game live boardcast
and news reports?
Do u know how much u have to pay to reach so many of them
for ten seconds in TV, say 500 million people?
The table tennis game is most worth the reward,
occuping much longer time than other sports,
except footballs ,basketball,beach balls etc!!
Millions of people alreday listen and read Singapore in the
Women Table Tennis Team Game.
These few days they will listen and read Singapore for
few hours lah.
Today 3 ,6 ,9 pm .SG will fight again for Single medals!!

Maybe he is trying to say that Malaysia pays more to their athletes, then where the money come from. Taxpayers money? Then these taxpayers money end up in foreign talents hand.
Most of the time I have problems what he is trying to say, maybe it's just me.
What's a pension? Something which one receives during retirement and more often than not, it comes when a person is past 50.
I think lionoisy is misleading here with his set of calcualtions and conclusions.

Not just you. I find it hard to understand what he is trying to convey lol. Some of the sentance structure doesn't makes sense to me

actually its $750,000. they upped the prize money. olympic gold is now $1.5million, instead of 1 million.
get a life la
also not you get money, complain for fuck
when we pay little prize money people complain we pay too little, when we increase the prize money people complain y increase and waste tax payers money.
so you want to go malaysia and play sports for them?
they can afford to be more generous. they dont import.

well said. pay also `song'.
btw, jiawei hinted she's pretty much done playing table tennis at the top level. i think after this olympic, she will start to wind down.
maybe money enuf liao.
no no, she ran out of excuses if she lose to another lower ranking player again. Also I think that is as far as she can go in this sport. Not steady lah during major matches. tiam tiam su.

if ya know what i mean

yup, you play your cards right when u r on top.
singapore is like `shiok' now after having tasted the previously unreachable fruit. now, certainly can (willingly) pay more.
They stick to the slogan even when it comes to $$$ 'Malaysia Boleh'
I'm not sure if that kind of reward would be what Singapore should do. I think giving him a lump sum of RM300000 is great, for what he has achieved, but I am not sure abt the RM3000 monthly life pension.
Imagine that, having 3000 a month for the rest of your life EVEN if you spend it all doing nothing. If Lee Chong Wei puts down his racket, and sits at home for the rest of his life hes still going to get 3k a month. Do you know how many Malaysians are struggling even to make that amount?
Reward is great, but I just don't agree with the Msian government way of giving people entitlements and benefits just like that. Maybe they are just using Lee as an example to sway the voters ahead of the by election, to show that they are good to Chinese as well.
I totally agree with spoffy83. the lowering or petrol and diesel. I expect more actually from msia government. The police even have road blocks along major routes which I dun know wat they are blocking for? Some of my friends said maybe the government is preventing pple to vote on the 26th by election!! Well, Lee chong wei really makes the chinese msian proud.
