Mo Farah, a refugee from Somali who was taken in by UK as a charity case, wins the 10,000m for his new country for free. UK does not pay for medals. I would say that this is a fantastic return on an FT who cost the country nothing. Feng was begged and bribed to move to SIngapore with all sorts of offers of money, coaching, etc. wins a fucking lousy bronze and on top of that gets paid $250K on plus all the money and benfits she has already receive.
In this case, which set of Politicians is smarter. The UK one that imported a gold medal winner without paying anything or the PAP one that imported a bronze medal winner for hundreds of thousand dollars? If your answer is UK, than the next question is why are we paying $ milllion salaries to ministers that import only bronze medal winners? They claim they are the bestest ministers in the world, and hence deserve the bestest pay. In this case, the UK sports minister is certainly better than his PAP counter part. Like that, can we issue work permit and hire ministers from UK or not? After all, they did run the country at one time.
In this Olympics, if Gay Loong and the PAP cannot see that their money for medals scheme is a complete failure, they are bloody blind.
