PARIS: An upcoming sports facility in Singapore will also cater to athletes with disabilities, in order to get them on the same footing as their able-bodied counterparts, said Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong.
“The new plans that we’ve announced for Kallang – with dedicated training facilities, with full boarding, with end-to-end support from sports science as well as academia – will also apply equally to disability sports,” he told CNA on Monday (Sep 2) in Paris, where the Paralympic Games are being held.
He added that his ministry has been working with the Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) and Singapore National Paralympic Council in the planning and design of the new facility which will be the new “home” for Team Singapore.
