"RM1 million is what Malaysia's Beijing Olympics gold medalist deserves while silver medal is worth RM300,000."People have been saying the RM1 million should not be considered lavish as it befitted what the Olympics stand for. And other countries such as our neighbor, Singapore is also offering S$1 million (RM2.3 million), along with several other countries.
That’s not all, monthly pension of Olympic medal winners Gold medallists will receive RM5,000 a month, silver medallists RM3,000 and bronze medallists RM2,000.
We have spent a lot for their trainings, allowances (and god knows what else!) and it’s their responsibility to perform and bring back the medal. A small incentives is totally fine, but paying them generous bonus and pension is totally unnecessary.
I look at sport as a career. You choose to be an athlete, the government invested in everything you need and if you don’t bring back something, you should not be cherished as someone who fought for the nation’s pride. You just lost.
As for the money, we should use it wisely, for instance helping the orphans. Who knows, one day they can be good in badminton and bring back gold.

Let's look at what Lin Dan said after winning the gold medal:
"My performance was good because I was desperate to win. I knew that I couldn't let Chong Wei take control and I followed my gameplan."
And Chong Wei:
"I am sorry but I had no answer to Lin Dan's play today. He was almost perfect and I know, I was disappointing but I just couldn't cope with his speed,"
The apology was from the heart because Chong Wei knew that he had let Malaysia down.
"I tried to take control but as much as I did, I couldn't. This is the easiest I have lost to Lin Dan (his 10th defeat in 15 meetings) but this is because he was totally in charge."
I just lost RM700,000!

Agreed! Might as well contribute more to educating young Malaysians and increase scholarships for the needy!
RM 1 million tak banyak lar, our government can spend RM100million sending a dentist to space. Build a RM60 million cow slaughterhouse that slaughters 6 cows a year, spend RM500 million in the March election.
Borrowed RM2000million from Japanese government to build the empty Putrajaya, build an airport 10 times the size of Hong Kong's airport with visitors 10 times smaller in number, taxed all foreign cars 300% so that we buy our national car that deprive us of the right to travel on the roads safely, allow one single Sdn Bhd to take control of all our petroleum resources and reap all the profits by itself, not even listing to the stock market so that the rakyat can benefit from buying it's shares, our Deputy Prime Minister getting $500 million USD (RM 1650million ) in commission for buying 2 stupid submarines from Ukraine, building the world's largest courtroom, spending RM150million on renovation of the parliament and yet it's full of shoddy works, i think the RM 1 million spent to encourage atheletes to get a gold for the country is a well spent amount, if not - it'll just end up for them spending in unneccessary stuffs.
Orphans? Sorry, but you feed 1 kid with 1 bread, you get a healthy kid, you feed 10 kids with 1 bread you get 10 unhealthy kids. Feeding everyone in this world utterly means everyone in this world doesn't get feed enough. Nature has its ways in dealing with numbers allowing humans to progress healthily. Harsh but that's the way nature works. :)
Since government has already wasted so much of money, why waste some more??
RM3,000 a month can feed 1 kid with more than 1 slice of bread.
True dess!!!
Admit some people has made very wrong decisions on the budget, but we should stop spending unnecessarily.
"There is no charge for Awesomeness" therefore why pay ppl for winning.....muhahahahahah
