Taiwan pool ace ready to pocket Singapore pay
deal
Taipei - Taiwan's pool champion Wu Chia-ching, unhappy about low
pay and no guarantee of a job after
retirement, plans to become a Singapore citizen and play for
Singapore. Wu, 20, decided to quit Taiwan after his salary demands
were not met by Taiwan sports officials and the Chinese-Taipei
Billiard Association stripped him of the right to play for Taiwan.
Taiwan media said Wu's decision to change sides would hurt the
moral of Taiwan athletes who were not getting enough help from the
state in training and attending overseas competitions. But sports
officials said they were trying their best to improve conditions
for players and that Wu's demands were too high. Wu Chia-ching's
father, Wu Chen-chung, said Chia-ching has not yet applied for
citizenship of Singapore or signed a contract with Singapore's
billiard association. "The procedure for applying for Singaporean
citizenship takes six months," he said told Deutsche
Presse-Agentur.
