KUCHING, Oct 20: Sarawak athletes who won gold medals at the recent Malaysia Games (Sukma) and Para Sukma will each receive RM15,000, while silver medallists will get RM5,000 and bronze medallists RM3,000.
Minister of Youth, Sport and Entrepreneur Development Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the incentive rates would remain the same as those offered when Sarawak last hosted the Games.
He said the incentives were expected to be disbursed before the end of the year, preferably in November.
“I hope it can be dished out before the end of the year. If possible, November, because we have reached the end of October,” he told a press conference after his ministerial winding-up at the State Legislative Assembly (DUNS) sitting today.
