We are so proud of Laurentia Tan for winning 2 Bronze medals in the recent 13th Paralympic games.
She became Singapore's 1st Paralympic medallist when she came in 3rd for the individual championship (Grade 1a) event at the Hong Kong Olympic Equestrian Centre in Shatin.
Then she won another bronze medal for the individual freestyle test (Grade 1a).
She quit her job as a mental health worker in June 2008 to train full-time, a sacrifice that have paid off.
I think she deserves as much credit and recognition as the table-tennis women team who also won a bronze medal in their Olympic recently.
Also, fantastic support from her parents and grandparents. I doubt she could have made it so far if her parents have not moved her to live in UK when she was 4 years old.
Once again, we are proud of you.......Laurentia Tan .... our true blue Singaporean who lives in UK but still retain her citizenship!
