Game over: FT sports personalities ditch Singapore for motherland China

[Confuseous]

The mainstream media has thus far been kind on Jiawei.

The 90 cents newspaper quoted her saying: "It's impossible to describe my feelings now in just one or two sentences."

The paper added sympathetically:"It is not hard to understand why, since her link to her adopted country goes beyond simply sharing the same birthday - Aug 9." [Note: The 9th of August is Singapore's National Day]

It followed up with this bizarre line:"Li has spent more time here in Singapore than in China, her country of birth." [One should certainly expect that to be the case because Jiawei is a Singaporean. Where else do you expect her to spend her time? Outer Mongolia?]

The clearest signal that Jiawei's decision to be "based in China" isn't some euphemism for a long-term stay in the Middle Kingdom could have been drawn from the fate of her three-year-old Singapore-born son, Tianrui.

Nobody bothered to ask what plans the Singaporeanised mother has for Tianrui. News reports are silent whether he will someday serve National Service alongside the sons of Singapore, whose parents cheered and rooted for mummy during her heyday.

Don't bet on it.

The writer of the blog could have made things clearer by giving the "mainstream media" a more suitable term: State-Controlled Media.

As an example, instead of "The mainstream media has thus far been kind on Jiawei." we write: The state-controlled media has thus far been kind on Jiawei (the impact and clarity would have been greater, don't you think?)

This is to be expected. She's here just to made money. Now that age is catching up, of course she will pack up and fuck off.

Aging foreign sports personalities in Spore are not dumb. They are FT Even with a million or two, that sum can go much further outside of Spore.

Unless you are a billionaire or have ties to the PAP you don't have much of a future in Spore.

Another high profile FT quits SG. See lah! Why must we force their male children to do NS? It is barbaric to impose servitude to those who were born free. That is why so many of our former FTs are leaving in droves to first world countries!
