" SINGAPORE : Singapore is saddened by the decision of national table tennis player Zhang Xueling to leave for China, but it respects her wishes to be close to her family.

Ms Phua had said Zhang's decision to leave was the latest addition to the count of 3 basketball, 6 hockey, 1 football and 1 badminton player who had since left their sports. "

Personally, I feel Singapore should wake up and do some simple mental arithmatic. You know once in Vietnam, I was proud to tell my business friends there, about how our country, a little red dot in the ocean, manage to scoop  gold medals in sports. You know what happen ?

The group laughed and laughed hilarously, the mini-restaurant almost topple. Of course being a Singaporean, I was  Angry Sad mad  and  demanded an answer. They asked " why you have blacks, ang mohs, africans in your team. " You people never win " is a blant answer.

What can I say.....I got to be  Lips Sealed . What to do ?.........I felt a little bit disgrace ..........

What to do? Our govt believes in using $$$ to solve every issue. Everything use $$$. How will the country improve when they have been harping on globalization, competiveness and being number 1 all the time. This country has been harping on job creation even after 40 years, whist in 1st world nations, they are concerned with quality of life. So how will Spore progress, when we are still concerned with bread and butter? In short, how will Sporeans be encouraged to pursue their passion and dreams in sport? Instead of encouraging our youth to explore, they use $$ as a quick fix. So how will Sporeans feel? Talk about national pride? Look at what our country has become today. Its a total tragic!
