Watching the UK's Army captain win a gold...

KNN!!! Police force so many marksman, but gotta get chinaman to compete for sg in pistol???
 
--Singapore has hundreds of these why can't we use them instead of PRCs

Because it takes commitment, dedication and talent to be an Olympic champion. Attributes somewhat lacking in your typical SAF officer.
Heather Stanning is due to take up a front line posting in Afghanistan. The closest a sinkie has got to 'real' combat is rifle shooting in Pulau Tekong or overseas reservist training in Taiwan.

point well taken.

Yes, that may well be correct but they are definitely not on front line duty serving in Helmand or Kandahar province fighting the Taliban.
Humanitarian or Peace keeping/Medical duties only.

Therefore, they are freee nough to compete in the Olympics
 
Why can't SG send it's army captains to compete like the UK did?

Unless you enjoy watching real sinkies make utter fools of themselves, I suggest sinkieland stick to using imported athletes.

So back then, Tan Howe Liang was what? A super Sinkie?

Tan is a humble man who never complained. Compared to the present day where Singapore athletes are promised a reward of S$1 million for winning a gold medal at the Olympics, Tan did not receive any monetary rewards for his effort in 1960.

should also send Npark staff for some cycling events, they practice long distance on expensive equipment everyday
 
Our army have rifle shooting team, no? why not send a team to participate after intensive training?

There's no point putting a bunch of cross-eyed, short sighted, lobos through intensive training. It's not going to make any difference.

You silly PAP imbecile.. Of course I know the SAF is deployed in Afghanistan.. The big boys like the UK, US do the real combat in Helmand province but our SAF boys play the doctor and nurse game with the Afghans kids there.. So please tell me how many bullets have our SAF troops fired in anger towards the Taliban?
