Quote from Reuters - Saturday, August 16
Somewhat dulling the achievement for the country of 4.6 million, the players and coach that carried Singapore to victory were all imports from table tennis powerhouse China.
"I feel very honoured. I've been in Singapore for just over two years and can help it get an Olympic medal, at least a silver, for the first time in 48 years," coach Liu Guodong said.
What?!?!?!? Even the coach is also imported huh... ha ha ha...
$$$ makes the world go round.....

We're just importing foreigners to play for us. With enough money, you can import anyone. Where's the sport in that?
why should i be proud of the win when half the team is not 100% locally brought up but BOUGHT....over with $. might as well buy over the US swim team, Chinese weightlifters, and we would be in the running for the overall championship...haha. But on a serious note, i am not proud at all at the achievements. Why should we singaporeans be proud ?????.... btw, it not us or our environment that they are doing well here but rather, if China can send more than 1 team, they will alos beat us...I am a singaporean based in China for work and mind you, they have a large pool of talents and players who are definitely on par if not better than Li JiaWei and Co.. If CHina send 2 teams, we will get bronze, if they send 3 teams, we will get fourth....this i will bet my last dollar on it.Last edited by teo; 16-08-08, 11:29 AM.Rolex stainless steel daytona (black dial)

Tears of joy ??? hahaha, i think it's more like tearing for the prize money? The bronze medal prize money is about 250k ? With lodging and meals provided everyday when they're parasites here...i'd be also tearing when i have an extra few hundred thous in my pocket.

Seems quite an amount of ppl feels proud..Where's e logic i wonder.."夫君子之行:静以修身,俭以养德;非淡泊无以明志,非宁静无以致远。" - 诸葛亮
One should seek serenity to cultivate the body, thriftiness to cultivate the morals. Seeking fame and wealth will not lead to noble ideal. Only by seeking serenity will one reach far. - Zhugeliang

Its more a question of perception than logic. Likewise, wisdom and judgement comes with exposure and experience. Thats the reason why some are cut out to be in higher management while others will never reach there.. the same why some can be good businessman and others never suceed in any business venture and only cut out to be an employee....
The fact that we did not buy a brazilian squad to get into the world cup is exactly the same reason to show that we are not buying a medal...Last edited by jazz_samz; 16-08-08, 11:38 PM.
