TAIWAN'S top cuesports official has warned pool double world champion Wu Chia-ching that there will be 'serious consequences' if the player takes up Singapore citizenship.

For starters, Wu, one of the island's most famous pool players, stands to lose NT$900,000 (S$39,600), said Mr Tu Yung-hui, president of the Taiwan Pool and Billiards Association (CTBA).

If he switches nationalities, the association wants him to return the money, which was given to him as a reward when he won the World 9-Ball Championship and the World 8-Ball Championship in 2005.

His playing opportunities would also be limited over the next two years.

Under international rules, Mr Tu said, the 20-year-old would be ineligible for this year's World Championships as well as the Asian Games in Guangzhou next year.

Wu, nicknamed 'The Little Genius', sparked an uproar in Taiwan last month when it was revealed that he was coming to Singapore to be a sparring partner for the Republic's national team.

Speculation mounted that he was being targeted by Cuesports Singapore to become a national player under the Foreign Sports Talent scheme.

'He's one of our national treasures, and we want to do everything we can to keep him,' Mr Tu told The Straits Times in a telephone interview yesterday.

'He has to realise that there will be serious consequences if he leaves, and that includes financial ones.'

Aside from returning the monetary incentive he was given, Wu would be banned from competing in Taiwan's lucrative domestic tournaments. [/B][/B]

I don't know what the PAP think they are achieving by buying FT mercenaries?

How many Sporeans felt any pride when the "chinese" won Spore a medal. Times are bad, they should be spending on money on the citizens

When greed and vanity rules, Confucius rues.

"君子人格"是历代儒家孜孜以求和推崇的理想人格模式之一.儒家认为"君子"应当以"仁"为本、以"礼"为质,并具备重义轻利的品质、自强不息的精神和诚信的价值观念.

It's not only KIAN SEOW; it is really GIAN PNG.
This is what local sports is doing- looking for instant proven champions luring them with money. Where's the sense of pride and achievement? I hv nothing against these foreign sports talent personally. It's not their fault that they are courted. They have to be good in the first place. The real cheapos are their recruiters/paymasters. Desperadoes!

They have forgotten the meaning of the word sportsmanship.

When you win fair and square with home grown talent- you win honor and respect.

When you cheat to get a medal (not victory in others eyes) by paying for mercenaries, you bring dishonor and get mocked by others.

What a shame-rich(or used to be until recently) and no class.
