Definitely not genetics as Michael Chang already proved that chinks can play tennis

me thought Singapore could really produce top shooters for air weapons or trap shooting. the easiest sport which any person can pick up. not much skill sets involved & just need a very clear state of mind.

We can never ever produce a Nadal or someone good enough to represent Spore in a Grand Slam tournament... All sports associations in Spore will take the easiest route to achieve immediate success and that is by importing more FTs from China and Indonesia... Just look at Sinkie's table tennis and badminton teams.. Its looks more like a China B team by looking at name of the players on the team sheet..:o:o:o

It applies to all sports. It is a vicious cycle, and it is mostly to to meddling bureaucrats:
1) In schools, sport is shamed and stigmatized as a future career choice.
2) Local athletes are paid pittance, with scant consideration of the opportunity cost to themselves and their very short career lifespan.
3) Funding is cut to sports that don't meet KPIs (read: few or no gold medals).
4) To meet the above-mentioned KPIs, third-rate foreign 'talent' are brought in, either as players or coaches.

singapore education system and parents to be blame. No emphasis on sports at all during school. They should learn from Australia and USA, sport is larger than life. Most important thing is sport.
It was a great tennis match isn't it.

Why angmohs play sports? Angmoh are angry people. They claimed they have 1 angry God and being angry themsevles they play God which make them 2nd to God and you cannot touch them when they play God.
Angmohs use sports to release their stresses when they are angry at their own beings. Asian Chinese are not angry people and no need to produce monkies and donkies to play sports. You see how angry angmohs are during the games? Throw their rackets, scold referres and f*&^ here and there!
Then to control their angers they created set of rules to control their angers! Angmoh love rules and regulations. With rules and orders they can control your life and become powerful. When they become powerful other angmohs get angry at themselves and they want democracy! Lanjiao dodgy angmohs say and do what they want and when it gets in their way they invade your country and colonize them.
West is West and East is East and they are different human behaviours. It takes 2 monkies to play for 5 hours and more million angmoh monkies to watch them play for 5 hours. Angmohs are more daft than Sinkies? Angmoh kiasu want value more money and make their monkies play for 5 hours.
Why produce a Nadal when you can produce Bruce Lee and kungfu?

In Singapore, the culture of easing retired sportmen back into a post-sports career is non-existent. Just look at Fandi Ahmad. Sure, he had some coaching / management stints, but those were hardly comparable to his playing days pay cheque. Furthermore, he was one of the brightest sports celebrity, so if you are not, your fate will be worse off.

Sports is experiencing a resurgence.... after all, everyone wants their kid to swim.
And the definition of "success" is simply making it to the SEA games..... hahaha

Can Singapore produce a Bruce Lee? I wasn't thinking that highly of the PAP government, so I didn't ask more in my thread title. Bruce Lee is an icon, while Djokovic and Nadal are merely.... champions today, gone tomorrow
