Congrats to our Singapore Table Tennis for clinging a Silver Medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympic.. I'm so proud of them... !!!!!
On the street i keep hearing many people were saying.. that our "Table Tennis players are all from China".. "not born in Singapore de"... "nothing to be proud of"... I'm so sick of hearing such comment.. 4 years ago they don't win medals... a different things were sayign about them "They are not born in Singapore, so they will not win medals for us".. Singapore wasting $$ to buy foreign players"... I they win a Gold Medal against China?? What will China say about them? "Traitor!!"
Actually not only Singapore do that.. other countries like New Zealand etc... are getting China import for their Table Tennis... But Singapore manage to succeed in foreign import scheme... YEAH!!! Just like France's Soccer Team.. Zidane is not born in France... But France won the 2004 World Cup with Zidane as the main Hero... This is what happening to Singapore Table Tennis Team now....
In China there are so many good table tennis players.. all so potential to win medal as they start training.. Only the cream of the crops are able to make it to the national team as the competition for national squad are so great.. and what about those second best players... They have to venture out of China to so as to get a chance on the big stage... If Li jiawei were to remain in China.. do you think she will get a chance like this?
So these table tennis players are willing to fight for Singapore (As long as they don't just get the citizenship and then leave Singapore for elsewhere) .. and we should appreciate their efford in bringing Singapore sports to the World Stage...
