Wong Kan Seng has a lot to learn from Viv B. Unlike WKS who spiked his 3 man inquiry committee with a subordinate, Viv and his Parliamentary Sec did a plain vanilla version all by themselves, no unnecessary terms of reference and to top it ll, the detailed findings will not be made public.
For the layman, here is a short summary.
There was no confluence of factors, just lack of communication. All parties were genuine, passionate and fair. For instance, no one communicated to Gao Ning that both the Head Coach and Manager actually loves him.
By the way, I forgot, there some absolutely minor issues that the man in street might ask.
1) Why replace the President of STTA, who took office in 1989, a total of 19 years and who the Minister credits with the success of the team, 6 weeks before the Olympics for what must be his time in the sun.
2) Gao Ning was presented with Singapore Sportman of the Year 2008 on Jun 24, only 2 months before the Olympics and the selection was made by Singapore Sports Council. It cites his SEA games gold and Coomonwealth as the reasons. Tao Li incidently was Sportwoman. How come the country's reigning sportman was not given a coach, ask to share accommodation with 2others one of whom is a coach.
3) Yes, we know there were mistakes, so who the hell made them.
4) How Antony now its most important sports administrator who a Cabinet Minister has seconded to the SNOC. And guess who is head of the SNOC.
