Set up temporary TV channel to show SEA Games. This will promote sports
I share the same opinion as Mr Chew Mun Chong in his letter to the Forum page on November 29.
Having a temporary TV channel throughout the SEA Games will make us aware of the happenings in the Singapore camp and the participants from other countries. The coverage need not be 24 hours but live coverage is important.
If more Singaporeans are aware of what's happening among our sport participants, the level of interest will increase.

Another issue, that $110 we pay for TV license not all goes into funding MediaCorp -

i dont understand why there is a cap in the rewards for winning gold.
zhang ended up earning more than joscelin, our golden girl, THE ALL TIME MEDALS WINNER!!!
zhang got 28k over jos's 23k. farking unfair isnt it?
what motivation is there to win after the 3rd goal?
it seems like 'paying capable people what they deserve' is not true afterall. -
noticed how much improvements vietnam and philippines made at this SEA games?
they sent many of their atheletes to china for training.
china's training regime is damn good. -
man even they show i doubt i'll watch..

there is difference. 1 gold is 10k.Originally posted by sbst275:Ka Ki Lang -

Why cap prize money for SEA Games gold medallists?
I am puzzled by the incentives given to gold medallists at the recent SEA Games. Why put a cap on the prize money for individual golds? Take swimmer Joscelin Yeo as an example. After winning six gold medals - five individual and one team event - she can claim the prize money for only three individual medals, with the cash award for the second and third medals being less than that of the first.
This is really a negative incentive for any sportsman to give his best after winning a third individual gold. These athletes should be rewarded handsomely, considering the time and hard work they have put in. How many more medals can they get once age catches up with them? It is no wonder that parents are not encouraging their children to become professional sportsmen.
Spare a thought for the athletes. The money they get from winning could be their retirement funds after their sporting career is over. Can the authorities be more generous?
