Another Made-in-China Singaporean. Should Singapore be proud of buying talents? We can win the World Cup if we buy over the Brazilian Team and after the win, the PAP can dance the Samba throughout the night drinking champagne.:oIo:

She may win her table tennis match, but she can never ever win the affection of all Sporeans.. Its a just a hollow victory.. Only the achievements of true blue Sporens like James Wong and our water polo team will make me proud..

Both of them are not Singaporeans at birth. HC is worse, she is giving our wealth away.

 

[greedy and cunning]

why people so concern about winning in sport ah ? vain glory beri good is it ?

it is understandable that cuntries ,like U ass A and Great Britten , always try to win gold in competitions because these are powerful cuntries . financially and in military.
and most important 100% of their shitizens enjoying easy good life especially during the 60s,70s.
with nothing much to do , they organise competitions for this game and that game.

But for a small country , and with 70% of the people struggling to make a living , what is the point of winning gold , silver.
to me whether win or lose has no impact on my life. i don't free proud or sad . instead i think it is a waste of money to spend on sport.
do you see other small countries like Monaco, San Marino , Liechtenstein participate in any game ?

even rich county like Brunei, which has the money and its people definitely has the free time to participate in any sport ,don't go all out to win gold.

That flag on her chest has been debased beyond recognition in recent years. Hard truth: Singapore is a city, not a cuntry.
