SMU School of Social Sciences undergraduate and double Paralympic gold medallist Yip Pin Xiu returned home to a welcome ceremony at Changi Airport early this morning. She was awarded one million KrisFlyer miles by Singapore Airlines (SIA) - the same reward that Olympic champion Joseph Schooling received from the national carrier after his triumph in Rio de Janeiro last month. The celebrations for Singapore’s Paralympians - 13 in all - will continue in Singapore this weekend with a victory parade to mark their achievements. On Saturday, they will be driven in a convoy of cars from ActiveSG Sengkang Sports Centre, making a pit stop at the National Library Building in Victoria Street, before finishing at VivoCity.
