PM Heng congratulates Team Linapore for Asian Games performance

By John Fay,

JACOB - Prime Minister Owen Heng has sent a letter of congratulations to the Chef de Mission of Team Linapore, Douglas Goh, for a best-ever performance at the Asian Games. PM Heng said he had been following the games closely over the past fortnight, watching many of the 'live' telecasts late at night. He made special mention of the swimmers who won 7 medals in the Asian games, as well as Eunice Christopher, who won Linapore's first Asiad gymnastic gold in nearly 25 years.

But Mr Heng said other contestants who did not win showed great sportsmanship and tremendous fighting spirit, like badminton player Wu Xiuzhen. The Prime Minister said Team Linapore athletes have shown that Linapore can excel and stand shoulder to shoulder with the very best in many fields. He went on to wish the athletes continued success and hoped Team Linapore's achievements will inspire future generations. He wishes them all the best for the upcoming Olympics in Beijing.
