How Much Do Athletes Really EARN?

W

ith only less than a month before the 2016 Summer Olympics to take place, it has already left the sport fans out there with many question marks in their head. Have you ever wondered how our Malaysian athletes are rewarded each time for participating in major sports event?

For most of us whom might not know how the sport industry works, we could have thought that the Olympics would be a big payday for the participating athletes. But no, it doesn’t just work that way. Yes, a big pay cheque will only be rewarded to the athletes provided that they come back with a medal.

gold medallist, with $54 000 for the 2010 Winter Olympics.

The 2016 Summer Olympics which will be held in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil this August sees a contingent of 29 bright athletes representing Malaysia in various sports.

Looking back at the previous years of Olympic games, the rewarding scheme for medallist varies from year to year and it also depends on which country you are from. But first, here’s how much the Olympic athletes earn from the Olympic International Committee (OIC): zero ringgit!

Let’s take Datuk Lee Chong Wei as an example of a successful Malaysian athlete that is often regarded as the national hope. Lee was a two time silver medallist in badminton men’s singles at Olympics 2008 and 2012.

Whether the athlete finish first or last, their rewards will only come afterwards from non-OIC groups, including the government.

Lucky for the Malaysian Olympian, winning a gold medal promises them a gold bar worth $600 000 in Olympic 2012, making Malaysia as the most generous country to reward their athletes despite the fact that no one has ever brought back a gold medal since 1956. On the other hand, a Russian bronze medallist surprisingly will receive more money than an American

According to comparisons and statistics, winning a medal in Olympic regardless of which area you are in will get yourself rewarded in a hefty manner if you are from a country that has a minimal sport achievement. Countries such as Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Singapore offers the highest pay cheque for their athletes if they can manage to make their country proud in Olympics.

Hyped Over A Silver Medal

Although he did not bagged a gold medal, the amount of fame and money that has got to him doesn’t look half bad at all. With a career earnings of $75million, he received a Datuk tittle at the age of 26 upon winning a silver medal and secured a lifetime pension of RM 3000 per month.

If you think that these are already great enough for an athlete, it doesn’t just stop here. He has endorsed more than a dozen of big brands including 100PLUS , Maxis and KDU University College. In addition to that, successful athletes will automatically receive sponsors from big corporates as well. To put it in a simpler manner, Olympic medal does equate to money after all.

FEATURES WRITING Being the most marketable athlete does come with a catch though. Lee is just one of the few fortunate athletes in Malaysia to receive such privilege. In order to achieve the fame and recognition in the sport industry, being the best in the nation might not guarantee a financial stability. In a country whereby sport is not our most valuable asset, a Malaysian athlete has to work twice as hard as athletes from the other parts of the world to be able to be the best of the best. Badminton is by far the nation’s strongest sport besides diving and thus, the government gives more attention to these few areas.

“ With a

Dekeeshgaaren, a Sukma medallist for track events.

Although the least successful athletes from other sport field are often unheard, there are sport fans out there whom might not fully agreed with the amount of attention that is given to Lee, instead of grooming more young potentials such as Dekeeshgaaren. For some, they may even think that the windfall given to Lee is “…pointless and only sets lower standards for the younger upcoming athletes in Malaysia”, says Drake an online freelance career earnings of as sports writer.

Besides Lee, other successful athletes who managed to RM 75million, he received a make Malaysia proud in the Datuk tittle at the age of 26 The justification upon winning a silver medal international sport arena behind the includes Nichol David, a world and secured a lifetime pension disagreement of number 1 squash player for of RM 3000 per month. ” special treatment 108 months consecutively. given to Lee is down However, as compared to Lee, to the fact that the amount of attention and limelight given Malaysians are focusing so much on to her is far less than expected. It could have celebrating an Olympian silver medallist been different if squash is to be included in rather than focusing on making the first the Olympic games, which unfortunately is ever gold medallist in the country. very least likely to happen.

As for now, the Malaysian sport industry Voices of The Unheard is still in the infancy stage in terms of international achievements. The fame Now let’s imagine if you are an athlete and a medal from the Olympics are just that is struggling to qualify for international a small part of the achievement if an competition, although you are already athlete can manage to win. The real consider one of the best in the country. reward still lies in the means of brand A normal Malaysian athlete with fewer endorsement, lucrative sponsorship and achievement such as medallist in Sukma, advertising deals. Much of this relies on the high end national level sport event can the sport area preferred in the country only earn them RM 5000 the most. Other and the medal, but there is no doubt benefits that they might receive would be that an Olympic medal does make a higher chances for scholarships and financial difference in a Malaysian athlete’s life aid for studies. “Sport is definitely not for you and career. if you are just doing it for the money”, says

3A Coating Technology (M) Sdn Bhd Categories: Engineering - Painting & Corrosion

Dr. Lee Kuay Huan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Managing Director

I

f there is one thing that every successful person has in common is that, they are lifelong learners who push themselves out of their comfort zone. With more than 60 certificates from various institutions and organisations awarded throughout his engineering career, Dr. Lee Kuay Huan started a powder coating business from the scratch with a very little knowledge regarding to this business at first.

More interestingly, this business was established at the age whereby most people would have retire that is, in his early 50s after leaving his last job in the engineering industry.

BACK TO BASICS For the past three decades of being involved in his field of expertise, Dr. Kuay has worked for several big names in the industry including Motorola and Seagate. Dr. Kuay was only exposed to powder coating industry after leaving Seagate. Unexpectedly enough, that was the turning point in his life. Thus, he found a new sense of purpose in life by establishing a powder coating business known as 3A Coating Technology (M) in 2005, except that he has to learn everything about this industry from basic due to his lack of knowledge on powder coating.

3A Coating Technology provides epoxy powder coating and wet paint spraying services for all steel and aluminium products. Before that, Dr. Kuay had to start from the bottom by asking around the operators and clerk regarding to the powder coating procedure. The changes he made

from his previous experience in automation industry to powder coating industry wasn’t all easy because they are two very different thing. “The most important thing is you must be humble…” explained Dr. Kuay when he recalls asking around for guidance. Soon enough, he mastered the skills required for a business start up to the point of even solving technical problems that most competitors couldn’t do so. He sees an opportunity in this powder coating business due to the low technical level in Penang’s market and thus, gaining the upper hand in this industry.

LATE BLOOMER BUT A FAST SPRINTER 3A Coating Technology was quick to rise to the top in the powder coating industry because customers see this company as trustworthy and more importantly, is managed by Dr. Kuay who is knowledgeable in the technicality of this industry. On top of that, Dr Kuay’s company has already been listed under Penang’s Automation Charter granted by the state government that creates a better business opportunity from oversea companies in the first year of its establishment. Ten years since then, 3A Coating Technology has earned a well perceived reputation that caters a high end powder coating services in a larger scale as compared to small vendors in Penang.

Although Dr. Kuay started his business later than most of the industrial leaders whom begin at a younger ager, it has also become a benefit towards the company. Unlike most industrial leaders out there, Dr. Kuay’s prior

experience in the workforce gives him credibility in performing his job by gaining respects from both employees and customers. As a result of that, customers directly deal with Dr. Kuay on business matters without going through any sales personnel and in the long run, it creates opportunity for walk in customers that come from as far as Kedah and Perak. Dr. Kuay was actively involved in the whole process of building up this business. He plays the role of several positions as he was also responsible for designing the company logo, name card, signboard and even the factory itself.

BEST IN THE NORTH Dr. Kuay holds a strong vision for his company because he is determined to make 3A Coating Technology to become one of the best powder coating servicing company in North Malaysia. What makes this company stands out the most is the fact that it is furnished with a state of art equipment that optimizes the desired outcome to fulfil customer’s wants and needs.

This company houses three biggest baking ovens in North Malaysia as well as biggest chemical soaking tank. The combination of Dr. Kuay’s experience and knowledge together with the advance technology provided here in 3A Coating Technology, customers can expect a premium quality service provided at a reasonable cost.
