We finally clinched an Olympic Silver... But any intellectuals will tell u, This will not encourage local sports development ... The caption in many local and foreigners' heart is "invest in young overseas talents".
Familiar with English Premier League (soccer/football)? They are facing the same problem in developing local soccer talents. The difference is they are clubs only looking forward to bring glory and $$$ in. Ours is a Country, we need to do more than that, we need to make our people feel the sense of belonging.
The sense of belonging was almost gone from my heart the day, the revered Singapore Flag was drag on the ground. The little bit left was almost consumed with the important NDP Rally postponed for a possible Gold medal. Where is the emphasis in the country? Country affairs or merely recreational sports. Even though poorer response might be expected, but that will at least earn respect and hearts of true Singaporeans.
We do not mind foreign talents come to Sg to work, nor do we mind them take up citizenship and hold our flag. Your forgotten sons and daughters only wish their hard earned money into better use, more respect for our revered flag and symbol ( do not tell me u guys never advise her of the importance of the flag in such a big event) finally show u place more importance in your own rally.
Congrats, We won the silver Medal and lost the "Gold" heart of ourselves. so did we win or did we lose?
"Winning is not everything, but Losing urself is everything lost."
