SINGAPORE - Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong on Thursday announced in Parliament a Sports Resilience Package that will see a further $25 million pumped into the sports sector as it deals with the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
Said Mr Tong:"Our sports ecosystem... is made up of a diverse range of different institutions, including the National Sport Associations , academies and clubs that are run privately, private leagues, sports facility operators, freelance coaches and many others. The criteria and processes for the SRP operating grant will be announced by national sports agency Sport Singapore in November, although an MCCY spokesman said that businesses that"contribute to building our athlete pipelines", such as private academies and clubs, private league operators and facility operators, will be eligible.
Noting the impact the pandemic has had on such operators, Mr Tong added:"We do not want these operators to be a casualty of the pandemic. Our sporting landscape with its broad spectrum of different options, will be the poorer, if that happens."
