Why would they put athletes through BMT and risk injury?

I don't think equality is a big concern to them.

Singapore government does not actually support the national athletes. So they will go through the normal BMT and be posted like any other boys.

For example, the national waterpolo team, the boys actually volunteered for the training after work. The team is only formed during competition times.They will collect the names and registered.

For Martial Arts such as muay thai, TKD, wushu, a selection is held near the SEA games. The uncles will decide who shall go.

For Bodybuilding, winner of the national championship will ultimately respresent Singapore.

There is no official national team for soccer, volleyball or whatever. They are actually "volunteers".

However, a lot of people know how to keng, especially when you are sportsmen. Frequent injuries are common. They will usually end up as clerk, in SAFSA and always training.
