Keith Chua on achievements of Team Singapore Olympians and Paralympians
As Singapore heads towards a more inclusive society, it must intentionally allocate increased public, private and people resources to strengthen and support its para-athletes and make suitable sports options more widely available and accessible to those with disabilities and special needs. NMP Keith Chua, who made this call in Parliament on Wednesday (Oct 16), urged the Government to continue to promote sports at the earliest possible age at the national level and across sectors. Mr Chua pointed out that many social service providers focus on support that helps to achieve basic levels of independence, including employment options when reaching adulthood. Sports participation can be an added focus, he said. He called for more funding support from the Government and the business community.
