SINGAPORE - National shuttler Loh Kean Yew's cash rewards for winning the Badminton World Federation World Championships are now close to $500,000 as he received his single biggest incentive yet on Wednesday (Jan 12).

The Karim Family Foundation, which is set up by the family of Indonesian tycoon Bachtiar Karim and his wife Dewi Sukwanto, has given the Singaporean $200,000 to reward him for his exploits at the World Championships, and to urge him to continue pursuing his dream of winning an Olympic medal.

The foundation had contacted SPH Media Trust's Chinese Media Group to get in touch with the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA) in order to make the contribution last week.

Karim is ranked 10th on Forbes' list of Indonesia's 50 richest in 2021 with a net worth of US$3.5 billion (S$4.73 billion). He runs Musim Mas, an integrated palm oil firm, with his brothers Burhan and Bahari.

To be fair our local rich got foundations dat give to uni and hospital research, and various established charities, just not to sports and recreational
type activities. Keep in mind Indon rich could be richer dan our local rich, just like  wealthy Tiongs here could be wealthier dan local tycoons.

The nouveau rich like Peter Lim, Yun Nam boss [those with questionable biz ethics] just want to accumulate more to buy more toys. Dun expect too much from them even if they give iz at their pleasure, cannot expect much.
