Here's what our sports authorities think:
1. Paralympians are not normal people and therefore not entitled
to the same reward as them.
2. The chances of a Paralympian getting medals at the
Paralympics is very good and we can't afford to offer the same
amount as what is offered to the Olympians.
3. The chances of the normal athletes (either Singaporean or
Chingaporean) getting an individual medal at the Olympics is quite
remote, so we can offer big prize money. That way, it appears
that we are being generous.
It'll interesting to know what some other countries offer to
their Paralympians in comparison to Olympians, for winning medals.
Do they also feel their Paralmypians are worth only 10% of their
Olympians?
worst ever reasons.
more importantly is their attitude, having overcome the social
discrimination and courage to compete at world
stage. i think they should be highly accredited as well.
yet they get only 10% of the reward given to olympic athletes.
it just shows how much our govt appreciates them and
which group of athletes the are bias against.
i won't be surprise if behind all these, they prolly just
sent them for show only.
