THE Prime Minister has changed the telecast timings for his National Day rally speech, so that Singaporeans can watch and support the finals of the women's table tennis between the Republic's and China's teams, to be broadcast 'live' on Sunday evening.

PM Lee Hsien Loong's Malay and Chinese speeches will still be telecast 'live' on Sunday at 6.45 pm on MediaCorp channels.

However, the English speech telecast will be delayed to Monday at 8 pm, said a statement from the Prime Minister's Office on Saturday.

The rally itself will proceed as normal at the University Cultural Centre.

The Singapore team is guaranteed at least a silver medal after it beat South Korea in the semi-finals on Friday, ending a 48-year wait for an Olympics medal.

PM Lee on Friday night congratulated the Team Singapore players - Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu - for making it into the finals, saying they have done the nation proud.

'Do your very best on Sunday, and bring home a gold medal for Singapore,' he urged them.

The table tennis finals' match will be telecast on Channel U at 7.30pm on Sunday.

Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu are now national heroes. Even PM Lee has to give face to them

hey,this is quite an important event for all Singaporean and PRC working here.

downgrader
SG operates like a corporation. They'll do whatever it takes to make the country more profitable in the long run.
To be fair to them, I think they do have the long term interests of the country at heart. But to the ordinary citizen who is struggling right now, who cares about the long term?

PM office so chat liow bee ? how come they never forecast this would happen ? No faith in Sg olympic abilities ? Someone head should roll because of this. Probably some lousy ex SAF regulars schedule or plan wrongly AGAIN !
