Singapore gets an Olympic medal.

My congrats to Singapore gahmen investment returns in sports. An Olympic medal. We are definitely getting one. Either a Gold or a Silver. And the Singapore National Olympic Council's Multi-Million Dollar Award Programme (quite a mouth full), is giving away $750,000 for reaching the finals and $1.5 million if they win the gold! The table-tennis players must be jumping up and down now. Is winning more of a Pride and Honor or a matter of Medal and Money?

I personally feel we should be investing the money (tax payer money) into nurturing our young sportsmen rather then getting imports. It will be a better investment for the future. Look at our Singapore National Football team now, so many foreign players! I wouldn't be surprise the whole team ended up with imports later. A Singapore International Football team. And the gahmen wants the 80's Kallang roar back! Try harder. I want to know what I'm "roaring" about first. That reminds me of The Kallang Roar the movie that's coming soon.

What do you think? Should we get foreign sport talents or nurture our own sport talents?
