SINGAPORE: Singapore's two paralympic medallists have been awarded state medals.

Swimmer Yip Pin Xiu, who won a gold and silver at the Beijing Games, will be conferred the Meritorious Service Medal.

Double Equestrian bronze winner Laurentia Tan will receive the Public Service Medal.

Team Singapore returned home on Thursday night to a rousing welcome.

The Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, was among officials, families and friends at the airport to welcome the team home.

At the Beijing Games, Pin Xiu broke two world records, while fellow swimmer Theresa Goh set a national record.

Under the Athletics Achievement Award scheme, Pin Xiu will receive $100,000 for her Gold, while Laurentia will receive $25,000 for one of her two Bronze medals. The scheme rewards only an athlete's highest achievement. - CNA/de
