The donation was made via the Singapore National Olympic Council and would aid the former national weightlifter and his family, who have spent as much as $100,000 on medical fees, Channel News Asia (CNA) said on Saturday.

The 77-year-old Mr Tan said in an interview that he was grateful to the anonymous donor who had stepped forward, and that his wife's cancer was now under control.
