Also, don't know how will their relatives and friends look at them back in China... since now the China heat is so hot... really really feel bad for them... we should give them a little support, at least we are holding the same color IC...

At least we should be happy for their victory but not to reject them from us. Making friends is better than making foes...

if I were them, I play liao also stress..with hu jintao staring at you...

china produces alot good table tennis players. other than china top 5, i dont think those china born players playing for their adopting countries will stand a chance to represent their country.

it is almost every athelete dream to have a chance to play in olympics or @ any world sporting event. this is because it is pinnacle to show to the world that im the best.

if these players are to stay back in china, no chance, at least if they represent another country, they stand a chance. mind you, they really raise the local standard of competition.

in the working world, it is the same. the company i work in employs foreign talent as well, but you dont see the local staff giving them the cold shoulder. company employ foreign talent for many reasons.

in the end, we need to understand why locals dont want to undertake some jobs like training for sports full-time. if locals are willing to train full-time, believe me that we dont need to import these talents. i have full admiration for the water polo team, they have won the gold @ almost every SEA games, but why not the ASEAN. the reason is simple, in other countries, there are leagues where they play for a living, here, do we have? i was once in their training camp, they train and play because of commitment, desire. i dropped off because i dont have ENOUGH commitment and desire.

Allow me to quote:

"if these players are to stay back in china, no chance, at least if they represent another country, they stand a chance. mind you, they really raise the local standard of competition."

"in the end, we need to understand why locals dont want to undertake some jobs like training for sports full-time. if locals are willing to train full-time, believe me that we dont need to import these talents."

My sentiments exactly. I was talking to family and friends over this and felt likewise.

ya loh, if i am a chinese number 1 player, i sure stay put in china, all multi millionaire leh....salary, benefit & pension frm gov... not forgetting those endorsement, prviate sponsor, advert etc... if i girl, beautiful...woo, can get multi millionaire hubby ... ...hahahhaa

there's no yes or no to the Q proud not ... against gov move or not to bring these players to play for us.... most important, these players already come in to sg leow, play for us, we must show support ... jst like any foreign co-worker tht come in to join our company.

If you looked at history, Singapore is an immigrant country. Most of our fore-father came from other countries.

I think giving up one's citizenship is a huge decision and not one to be made easily. Money itself is not enough. Singapore does not allow dual citizenship. I think those who convert to be Singaporean (half-way) should be welcomed into our society and culture.

Therefore, for the three ladies - they have my support and admiration and they have done Singapore proud.
