Unless there are some pension scheme for the medal winners,
the local will be more concerned about their livelihood instead of
developing their whole life for a few medals.
I know the medals is for honour, glory and country and blah blah
blah.
At the end of the day, we cannot get a job with the medal.
That is the reality of life in the country.
The paper is more important than the medal.
Just look at the only silver olympic medallist for
singapore.
Please note that we ALREADY have a SILVER medal in the country
before last night.
Did it inspire us to greater heights ???
It have become a nightmare to him since the victory as he was
hounded by the media for the past few olympics.
So, the new silver medal will not inspire any one as life will
goes on after the olympics.
It will be another replay of the events in the media during the
London Olympics.
