faroukalhadad SG If you notice, these imported "talents" of our SEA Games like Tao Li don't even bother to stand still during when the National Anthem is played for the victory ceremonies. It's bad enough that they do not even bother to sing it or cross their hands along the chest like the soccer players. But surely you can show a little respect when our flag is raised? This is the country where taxpayers are paying them millions anyways compared to what they would earn in China? My friend who was at the airport jsut happened to be there said that these sports people don't even bother smiling to some of their supporters let alone give them an auto graph. I miss the days when we have humble sports people like Quah Kim Song and Fandi. Today they are just so arrogant.
ndmmxiaomayi SG They not local... no need to sing national anthem or say the pledge... But as a courtesy... they need to stand at attention... Type too fast... missed out one word.
faroukalhadad SG they are local. SEA games does not accept that you play for a country if ur not local. singapore has granted them citizenship so that they can play in SEA games. surely not a pain to learn the national anthem of the country that gives u a living?
Hidetox SG wait taoli is singaporean born ... and soccer is different la put fist at chest is not reali important la.. important is she do sg proud.. soccer player.. omg.. sing also gone case.. lost till so jialet.. lol
ndmmxiaomayi SG My local means they aren't born here. They may be citizens... but after all... this is not their home.
annoy-you-must SG When the media interviewed them I notice many of them still retained their oversea accent...
adetet SG I belive Channel News Asia said she was born in China but took up Singapore citizenship in 2005.
adetet SG If I remember correctly, she was here for 2/3 years before she took up citizenship. Frankly speaking, I had more pride in past teams who came back with only a few medals. They were truly Team Singapore trying their best. Now we pay for all these medals and I don't find any joy or frankly any interest in what present "Team Singapore" are doing. I will get flamed for this post but this is my frank opinion.
pierre^^ SG No point watching since we buy medals rather than produce talents All i noe is the table tennis woman team are all china badminton also lidat Only water polo, gymmastic, shooting, sailing are something we can be proud of
Hidetox SG but at least sg dun bring them in when they are great.. is when they are young.. and groom them.. so to me still all right…
