OMG, I am so ignorant that I did not realize that winning a
medal will net the player $1 million dollars, $500k and $250,00 for
gold, silver and bronze... WTF??!!
Who is the bloody idiot who is giving away tax payer's money for
this? We're already spending millions of dollars importing FTs for
sports and training them; now to give away so much money for
winning a medal? In fact, most of them considers themselves PRC
instead of Singaporean..
What does the medal do for Singaporeans? Really!!? Can it feed
the poor? Is this where our GST increase is suppose to be going to?
And our gahman refuse to increase the allowance for the old and age
to $300 a month?!
I don't feel proud as a Singaporean, I feel really
stupid
This reminds me of what a foreign scholarship student said of
Singapore's government and Singaporean.. that we're a bag of
straw.. totally stupid to be giving away so much for nothing.
Not a concern if they are using taxpayers' money for it, Pay and
Pay not paying for it. So long it is not their money,
they can choose to use it as they like, for foreign investment and
make losses out of it, ha ha ha, they are so "brilliant" in
investing. No heart pain for them not their money.
In China, the atheletes strive for sports not for monetary
term. From young, they are taught to do well to serve
their country.
