An MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, Ms Lee had to leave Moscow on Friday because she had official engagements on Sunday.
Yesterday, she revealed that she is looking into setting up a fund for the players for them to use after retirement, but declined to disclose the amount.
She noted: 'This is something very special, we want to reward them.'
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong also congratulated the team, saying in a statement yesterday: 'I am delighted that our table tennis players have done us proud.
'Congratulations to them, and to the coaches and supporting team who made this happen.
'I was at a post-golf game dinner at Orchid Country Club last night (Sunday), organised by the PAP Town Councils.
'We managed to catch a little bit of the last game on TV before dinner.
'At dinner we tracked the game almost point by point. Lee Bee Wah was there, receiving regular updates by SMS.
'When we heard that our team had won, she went up on stage to interrupt the proceedings and announce the good news. As you can imagine, the audience cheered, and drank more than one yam seng to our team.'
A beaming Feng, who could not sleep on the flight back and ended up watching Alice In Wonderland, said: 'We thank everyone for their support.'
She and her team- mates will be in the limelight again tonight, when the sports fraternity gathers at the Fairmont Hotel to honour its finest.
Feng will receive the 2009 Sportswoman of the Year accolade at the Sports Awards night, while the paddlers will pick up their fourth consecutive Team of the Year trophy.
