- By Ah Fatt.
The hot topic these two weeks is the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. There's news coverages everyday and even live telecasts on tv, but Ah Fatt just not interested to watch.
Not that Ah Fatt is not patriotic of my country. I love Singapore - this is where I can buy my Hainanese chicken rice and laksa and also go to NTUC to do my marketing. If not for Lee Kwan Yew and his PAP, I won't be here talking to you today. I love Singapore for its uniqueness, though I think there should be a better motto the Tourism Board can come up with than "Uniquely Singapore". So boring and difficult to pronounce.
But then, while the media is so hyped-up over our country winning 5 gold medals in table tennis, I dun think it's something worth celebrating. Take a look at the line-up, almost everyone in the women's team is tong kok lang, aka PRC people. They aren't true Singaporeans, even if they have obtained PR or citizenship. True Singaporeans means you are born in Singapore and your father is born in Singapore. Your Ah Gong is another story la, but what I'm trying to say here is that we should try and nurture more local talent rather than scouting overseas for talent and enticing them to come to Singapore. Now Government set-up Sports School, it should make things easier for Sports Council what... Not as if Singapore very lousy in sports lor... ok maybe we're damn CMI ( cannot make it ) in soccer, but we've still got pros in golf, sailing, shooting etc. The Government should further develop our young talents so that next time when we go for overseas competitions and win a medal, we need not be so embarassed of fielding a non-Singaporean team.
The tong kok za boh in the table tennis team haolian-ing their gold medals.
Just like soccer now la. See the EPL and La Liga, got so many foreign players playing for the local clubs. But that one is unrelated la, and I don't want to say further, because the club Ah Fatt supports also got a lot of non-English players. Pai seh...
Not enough time liao, Ah Fatt must go now. See you all next Sunday.
