[h=2]DPM Teo praises China-born Feng’s bronze for ‘galvanizing’ local sports[/h]Posted by temasektimes on August 3, 2012


Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean has lavished generous praises on China-born Feng Tianwei for winning a bronze medal in the women’s singles at the London Olympics.

“It’s like a tent pole….You put the tent pole high, you raise the standards for everyone, and I think this is what it has done for sports in Singapore,” DPM Teo said.

A native of China’s Heilongjiang province in its northeast, Feng only ‘became’ a ‘Singaporean in 2007.

Despite the positive propaganda churned out by the state media to ‘celebrate’ her win, the response from the ground has been lukewarm so far with many netizens criticizing Feng for throwing flowers at the PRC fans after the match.

However, DPM Teo was optimistic that Feng’s win will ‘inspire’ more Singaporeans to take up the sports.

“And you can see that, over a number of years, in different sports, their standards and aspirational levels have been brought up and people say: ‘Yeah, we can do that!’ I hope that inspires many more Singaporeans to take up sports and to do well.”

Our very own Mr Tan Howe Liang 陈浩亮 did better than that On 8 September 1960 in Rome when we were very poor.I still remember that day.

A lot of people envy you, to be able to experience the true euphoria first hand. We are still waiting for a chance to experience that. Hopefully in my life time.

Honestly speaking, even if Sinking land won the most gold medals in the olympics, what difference does it make to the peasants? Got more money? Got more job opportunities or got more 'face'?

 

[Dreamer1]

Yes,young man that was the day when I was very proud to be in Singapore although my heart was with crazy chairman Mao then,those were the days.

According to one uneducated DJ, anyone not feeling "galvanized" must be ''morons and babies". Yes, it would really take a lot of brains to figure the emotional high from buying a bronze medal.

Yes the Admiral should watch his rear, he might just sit on the "tent pole".

When I see picture of naked Pamela Anderson, I also got "tent pole" in my pants. Is DPM saying Feng "raises" his tent pole when he sees her? Like that where got standard one.

Got difference if peasants could get involved in betting every sports that Sinkies participated.

If you need to raise the standard;

1. Use the current winner in the games as a standard to exceed.
2. Get good trainer and coach.
3. Send players for more tournments.

No need get FTs to break the morale and pride of the team.

It is about the journey and what we do that will instill pride, committment and identity!!!!!!!!!!

If your kid is not doing well in his/her studies in school, do you think of engaging a tutor, or just adopt a new child???????????

What do you think, har

A True Blue Sinkie that will always be remembered and respected by Sinkies for being the only

The only time they will wake up or open their eyes is when they get voted out in a election. But first, the 66% have to wake up and open their eyes.
