http://www.temasekreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/weiqi.jpgAccording to feedback from on an Online Forum “zaobao luntan”, the SNOC has rejected the application of the National WeiQi team to compete in the forthcoming Asian Game 2010 to be held in GuangZhou – China.
The team members have done reasonable well in previous international competitions on individual events and the team members are willing to finance themselves entirely for the game.
The Singapore Weiqi team are mainly locals which put in lots of self initiated effort in raising their standards and promoting the game; only their coach is from China.
With the massive support for the Table Tennis teams and the YOG which is upcoming, it is unthinkable why the SNOC should deprive this Weiqi team a chance to participate in the Asian game.

Dear Sir,

I've read the following report from Temasek Review with interest:
[URL="http://www.temasekreview.com/"]http://www.temasekreview.com/<!--<WBR />-->2010/07/12/snoc-no-to-<!--<WBR />-->national-weiqi-team-competing-<!--<WBR />-->in-the-forthcoming-asian-game-<!--<WBR />-->2010/[/URL]

In the news article, it was reported that SNOC has rejected the application of the National WeiQi team to compete in the forthcoming Asian Game 2010 to be held in GuangZhou despite good efforts from the team members who did reasonably well in international competitions. Is this true?

It was further reported that the Singapore's Weiqi team is composed of mainly Singaporean locals. If this is the case, I would like to know why SNOC didn't allow Singapore's Weiqi team to represent Singapore in the forthcoming Asian Game? Perhaps it's because there is no foreign talents inside the team?

Looking forward to your reply.


Yours sincerely

Kojakbt
