Athletes Achievement Award 2009
The Athletes Achivement Award 2009 was held at the Co-Curricular Activities Branch of the Ministry of Education Sports and Recreation Club on 12 November 2009
The event was graced by Mr Tan Ju Seng, President of the Singapore National Paralympic Council and Mr Michael Kwee, Coordinating Director, Banyan Tree Global Foundation Limited.
The AAA awards was organised to recognise the efforts and achievements of the athletes who clinched the gold medal at the recent 5th ASEAN Para Games 2009.
The eight athletes received $2,000 in cash which was sponsored by the Singapore Totalisator Board and Singapore Pools. The eight athletes were: Desiree Lim for sailing; Theresa Goh, Yip Pin Xiu, Charlotte Lee, Lawrence Tay, Benson Tan and Chew Zi Ling for swimming and Tay Wei Ming for badminton.
It was a cosy affair that was attended by about 80 guests, athletes, family and friends. The contingent for the 5th ASEAN Para games were also present to lend their support and applaud these oustanding athletes. To add to the euphoria, Banyan Tree Global Foundation donated $25,000 to the Singapore National Paralympic Council to continue the council’s programmes and initiatives.
