early 90s many love football, but after the truth about bribes,
match fixing is revealed, soccer seems "dead" in singapore.
later in the 90s, they come up with S-league trying to bring back
the soccer fever. Singapore Celeb "Qian Han Qun"(wonder if you guys
remember this SBC star) also took part in this project. But after a
while, the audience are gone, only few ppl go watch S-league in the
stadiums. One of the team, i think it was Jurong, had difficulties
to pay the salary of the players.
So the govt help again, they come up with legal betting, so that
even you dont really love singapore soccer, at least you go watch
for the sake of betting. Somehow it helps, but still failed to
bring back the soccer fever.
