So Singapore

won its first

Olympic medal

since 1960.

Big cause for celebration.

Chinese players

wearing a Singaporean shirt.

Sports Minister said

the players maybe

Chinese born and bred

but they are

Singaporean citizens

and they played their hearts out

for Singapore.

Yeah right.

They just happen

to be paid

alot of money

$750,000

to get that medal.

The highest in the world

for an Olympic medal.

They were paid alot of money

to migrate to Singapore

and be Singapore citizens.

They were paid alot of money,

and its all our money.

Tax payers money.

They did not come here

because they love laksa.

They did not come here

because they love doing

national service.

They did not come here

because they want to learn

Singlish.

In fact they do

everything they can,

not to learn Singlish.

The only thing Singaporean

about them,

is their NRIC cards

and they earn tax payers money.

Lots of money.

Why celebrate?

Well, Singapore has for

about 12 years now

been trying to buy

us an Olympic medal.

We finally got

what we paid for

after about 12 years.

Yeah,

big cause for celebration
