That's what happen at times when we rely too much on foreign talent...

It's like trying to buy medals........When the medals are won by FTs, somehow I do not feel a sense of pride. In fact, I feel rather embarrassed and ashamed.

i think last sat strait times also reported tat the sport council acknowledged tat engaging china ppl for the table tennis is a flop. hahaha...

[Potheader]

support duathlon and triathlon this sat and sun at the SEA games!!!

 

101% (except for PRC triathlon coach) homegrown, and the chances of getting a medal is quite high! SG got men's gold and women's bronze in triathlon in the last SEA games, so do watch out for them again this year!!!

[Fortress]

At the rate we are going, we must as well buy the medals instead of the talents.

We have all been taken for a ride by some of these FTs.

Victims of these swindler FTs range from gahment level to old Ah peks who have just withdrawn their retirement CPFs.

[Booboon]

todays newpaper, he endorse china made Vii, fake Wii.

[Nutty]

But James Wong is a sportsman that I respect.

 

At least... he's a true blue Singaporean who sacrificed his youth training real hard. This is something most of us will not venture into.

another one who sacrificed youth plus wealth is Ang Peng Siong ... salute him

[Nutty]

Rotten FTs like Agu Casmir... AWOL... play punk...

 

Can still represent Singapore in SEA Games 2007, and playing like fcuk against Laos.

Basically, these FTs were never very high standard in the first place. In their own country, they are not good enough to be selected for their national team, and who knows, could be their attitude causing the problem as well. So, not surprising that they cannot do well here also.

 

Same with some foreign students studying here. In their own country, they're actually only average students from not-so-well-known schools. In fact, most end up just a little bit better than average local students. So why pay $ to get them here?

But at least, I respect these people for speaking up and openly admitting that the scheme was a failure, without hiding behind carefully-constructed phrases and excuses...
