PETALING JAYA: High jumper Lee Hup Wei enjoyed a windfall yesterday when he received RM40,000 for his efforts in bagging a gold medal for Malaysia in the Asian Track and Field (ATF) Championships in Jordan last week.
Roslinda Samsu was also rewarded with RM15,000 for winning the three-competitor women’s pole vault event. She received an additional RM5,000 for qualifying for the Beijing Olympics next year under Category B after clearing 4.30m in winning the gold medal in the Kazakhstan Open in June.
