What governance structures will be put in place to ensure Singapore’s new consolidated sports institutions are accountable to SportSG, parliament and the public on matters such as performance indicators and funding utilisation? What mechanisms will ensure transparency and accountability in the issuance of coaching accreditations, facility certifications and training programme approvals by SportSG? With the official recognition of mind sports and e-sports, will athletes in these disciplines have the same access to funding, facilities and national representation pathways as their counterparts in athletics and football? These were among the questions raised by MP Elysa Chen in parliament on Wednesday (Jan 14).
