Would a true blue singaporean win a olympic medal?
-
Based on the education system we see in singapore, will we ever win a olympic medal? As u realised, people in other countries started training sports seriously below the age of 10. But do you think it'll happen in Singapore? Will parents take the risk to allow their children to take sports as a life time career? That would mean the amount of time spend studying a day to just a mere few hours? My answer would be no. A true blue singaporean would never ever win a medal based on the education system. Its all about paper chase in Singapore. Just sharing my 2 cents worth :D

how old do the kids start training sports at sports sch? 12? that abit too old but still possible.. and males have to go thru 2 yrs of NS... training will get disrupted... to me sports sch is just for show... what singapore is gd at is when we dun have the "resources" just buy... tmr table tennis finals is china vs china (singapore)... the table tennis head coach in singapore is also from china too.. -
dunno... see UK also like singapore like that, runners mostly african import.
-
I'd say not. Studying takes up all our time. Still got time for sports?
-
so?
A true blue education will enrich Singapore sufficiently to buy more players to attempt for medals.
Soon, we can import some Jamaican runner to increase our presence at the atheletics

Tan Howe Liang is a Singaporean who played sports.
The PRC imports played sports to be Singaporean. Thats the difference
. Few Singaporean feel proud about one of them. -

Havent you read the Standard Propaganda Literature dished out by State Media and Counter insurgency agents? The football teams now have foreigners representing their team. After reading these logical propaganda arguments,our tears would roll, we would be transformed and become proud of any imports that is representing Singapore.
When in doubt, reread the Standard Propaganda Literature. Reading it a few more times helps your mind think in the right way.

as per your same ignorant post in sports,
beckham is playing for a CLUB, not the USA. he is there to promote soccer to unappreciative americans. Yao Ming is the vehicle for the nba to crack the 1b chinese market.
when liverpool buy torres, it is a club business nothing to do with country.
pls refrain from making such posts again. it bares out your ignorance excruciatingly.

Singapore vs. China in table tennis, machiam like China vs. China.
the way I see it, China will win, either way
