SINGAPORE — Sixty-eight athletes who won medals during the SEA Games and Commonwealth Games were awarded up to S$860,000 for their achievements at an event on Wednesday (Sept 14), the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) said in a news release.
However, CNA understands that the prize money for Singapore swimmer Joseph Schooling’s performance at the 2021 Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi has been put on hold. SNOC declined to elaborate when asked by CNA.
Given his abuse of disruption privileges, Mindef had said Schooling will no longer be eligible for leave or disruption to train or compete while in NS. There were also five Games records, 16 national records and 41 personal best milestones set during the Games, said SNOC. At the Birmingham Commonwealth Games held from late July to early August, the contingent of 66 athletes in nine sports were led by chef de mission Lim Heem Wei.
