In a forum letter, SPD Executive Director Abhimanyau Pal highlighted that SMU must be applauded for its recent initiative in launching a bond-free scholarship in honour of Singapore's three-time Paralympic gold medallist, SMU School of Social Sciences undergraduate Yip Pin Xiu ("SMU launches bond-free Yip Pin Xiu scholarship for undergrads who excel in sport"; ST Online, Dec 6). Mr Pal noted that Pin Xiu has flourished into an outstanding young person with many accolades, adding that she serves as an inspiration for young people, with and without disabilities alike, to pursue their goals, strive and excel.
