Swimmers Tao Li and Quah Ting Wen (right) showing off their 'hongbao' at the Singapore National Olympic Council's Multi-Million Dollar Award Programme awards and appreciation dinner yesterday.
The pair, who won 10 golds between them at last year's SEA Games, walked away with $40,000 each.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean presented the awards, totalling $455,000, to the medallists and record breakers.

It's good that the govt provides this kind of awards. Motivates more athletes to become professionals.
