PETALING JAYA: Badminton men’s doubles pair Tan Wee Kiong and Goh V Shem, who won a silver medal in the recently concluded Rio Olympics, will soon be given houses worth more than RM1 million each by one of their sponsors.

Property developer JL99 Group, in a recent Facebook posting, said two units of the Lakepark Residence in Pusat Bandar Utara, in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, would be presented as a token of appreciation and encouragement to the duo.

JL99 Group Chairman Jeff Lee said in the post: “Congratulations! We are proud to be one of your sponsors. You bring us pride. Malaysia Boleh!”

The message also contained an invitation to the duo to be present at the developer’s new show gallery near the Kuala Lumpur Middle Ring Road 2 this weekend, presumably to “officially” receive the reward.

Tan and Goh fell to Fu Haifeng-Zhang Nan from China in the finals, but not without a fight.

This is not the only incentive that awaits them. By winning the silver medal, they will receive a RM300,000 cash reward and RM3,000 monthly pension announced by the National Sports Council.

They will also drive home a new Proton Suprima each, courtesy of DRB Hicom.
