5 businesspeople in S'pore raise S$50,000 for Loh Kean Yew after learning he won S$0 from being world champion.​


This was after one businessman found out that the 24-year-old, who became the first Singaporean to win the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Championships on Dec. 19, did not receive any prize money for his win.

Loh won an individual championship title.

He was conferred the title of world champion and awarded a gold medal.

The five businesspeople are:

- Ang Kiam Meng, executive director and group chief executive officer (CEO) of Jumbo Group

- Daryl Neo, co-founder and CEO of DC Frontiers

Dora Hoan, group CEO and co-chairman of Best World International

- Eugene Ang, managing director of JK Technology

- Wei Chan, managing director of Pine Garden's Cake



Led by one businessman​



Chan of Pine Garden's Cake, who loves badminton, set up the fund to encourage the national shuttler to attain his sporting aspirations.

The businessman then reached out to his fellow businesspeople to collectively raise S$50,000.

Chan told BT: "Loh Kean Yew's win shows what we, as a little red dot, can achieve in the global badminton sporting arena."

But he forgot this is not homegrown but rather a Penang laksa
A local born who played so much badminton during his school days would probably failed all his exams and have a hard time staying in school

If he's still a Jiu Hu Kia, the Matland Government there would fete him with money, lands and Datukship. Just look at Lee Chong Wei. He's now a multi millionaire. He rubbed the right shoulders. Rosmah was his no 1 fan. When he won few titles he dedicated his triumphs to Rosmah and Jib Kor. Najib Government threw their support for him each time he competed in a major competition. They considered him a national treasure.

Maybe this is why the other top-ranked players did not fight enough to beat LKY. At the end of the tunnel, it's $0.

If LKY gets zero from his achievement then the sporting powers that be are all a bleddy joke. Want winners but don't support. At least get him a med bed that was supposed to be available here in December.

I made a personal donation to LKY and also gave him a gift hamper bearing my corporate logo. Proud to have LKY wear my logos for his future competitions.
