The MIWs are always fastest to share the spot light and claim credit whenever they see there's opportunity for our local sportsman to get a medal.

PAP will ulimtately claim the gold for itself than the schooling swimmer. This sillypore government thick-skinned self-righteousness is nothing new.

Agree, its a good lesson. We don't need MPs, generals or Govt appointed ex or retired pubic servant to guide sports with no background in it.

I hope Singaporeans learn from this . We don't need the PAP or indeed any party. Ruling parties always feed the people with this delusion. Bad for the country in the long run. Absolute power always leads to repression when results are not seen.

But you need MPs, generals and civil servants to guide those who coach yes? Their management experience and network would gets things done a lot quicker isn't it? So yes, we need to pay top dollars for these top talents. :smile:

PAP MPs: Ok coaches, you need to coach. Ok swimmer, you need to work well with your coach and train hard.
After win.
PAP MPs: See, we coached them.
After loss:
PAP MPs: You people are complacent.

I think our Swimming association was left untouched all this while. Maybe that is why Swimming is doing fine compared to FAS.

And have outriders escort a limousine to send him home!

No home lah. A month at the Presidential suite at the Fullerton.

It may be another 50 years before we see another Olympic gold medal.

It was a surreal moment for Schooling, who had just beaten three of the greatest butterfly exponents in Phelps, South Africa's Chad Le Clos and Hungary's Laszlo Cseh, all of whom tied for second.

"That sounds like a lot of pressure. I don't think I'm anywhere close to these three guys next to me," he said modestly in reply to the question.

"Today just happened to be a good day for me. I think Chad, Michael and Laszlo should still be the face for butterfly. This is like my first gold medal it's not like I've won 22 or 23."

Phelps shot back: "It's a pretty good one to win, though."
