SINGAPORE: The National Museum of Singapore recently received donations from two Singaporean sporting legends: sprint queen Shanti Pereira and former bowling champion Remy Ong.
It was Singapore’s first athletics gold medal at the Asian Games since Chee Swee Lee came out top at the women’s 400m race in 1974. She clocked 11.41s in the 100m race and set a new game record in the 200m finals with a time of 22.69s. That same year, she also won the gold medals in the 100m and 200m races at the 2023 Asian Athletics Championships.From track and field, we move on to bowling. Ong was a household name during his younger days as a national bowler. He won the gold medal in the men’s singles and the all-events category at the 2006 WTBA World Tenpin Bowling Championships in Busan.
