If the New Zealand Olympic team can obtain gold medals without a single 'foreign talent' in their team, I don't see how it would be impossible for Singapore to do so as well, given the similarity of population size in both countries. Difficult yes, but not impossible.
Those who advocate the bringing in of foreign talent just because 'other countries are doing it as well' are simply taking the easy way out. If our local talent pool at present is too small to produce Olympic gold-medal winners, then so be it. Better training and a more conducive sporting culture should be introduced instead of spending taxpayers' money on such foreign imports.
