In a meeting held on 18 January 2008, the Council of Ministers approved a draft law to provide cash prizes to athletes winning medals in major international competitions, such as the Asia Sport Competition, the ASEAN Seagames, and the Olympic games. Based on the draft law, an athlete wining a gold medal at an Olympic competition will receive $10,000, $8,000 for a silver medal, and $5,000 for a bronze medal. Those who won a gold medal at the Asia Sport Competition will receive $5,000, $3,000 for a silver medal, and $2,000 for a bronze medal. Medal winners at the Seagames will receive $3,000 for a gold medal, $2,000 for a silver medal, and $1,000 for a bronze medal. In addition to cash prizes to be provided to the winning athletes, their coaches will also receive prizes based on the success of the athletes they trained.
