Hannah Yeoh also announced that the government will reward Cheah Liek Hou with RM1 million and a lifetime monthly allowance of RM5,000 under the Skim Insentif Sukan Olimpik (SITO). This initiative aims to motivate all athletes and serve as a significant appreciation for their hard work and dedication.
