Today's papers reported.
Singapore's Olympic silver medal
winning table tennis team,
is quitting Singapore
to ply their trade
elsewhere.
Barely two months,
after winning the silver medal
and pocketing
Singaporean taxpayer's
$750,000
they decided to quit Singapore,
to ply their trade elsewhere.
Singapore Sports Minister said,
they may be China born,
but they played their hearts out
for Singapore.
Right.
Now, they're quitting.
Did they play their hearts out
for Singapore,
or for the prize money?
If indeed they played their
hearts out for Singapore,
how about giving us
the money back?
Nobody seems to remember,
they bitched and moaned
about paying income tax
on their prize money.
Yeah, they played their hearts out
for Singapore,
and after taking the money,
they won't pay tax,
won't give anything back.
These Singapore government guys
simply don't get it.
Perhaps they never will.
Singaporeans are Singaporeans.
No amount of money you throw
at a foreigner,
will turn him or her
into a Singaporean.
You just given them
a NRIC
and lots of money,
but you did not make them
a Singaporean.
Now our preparations
of London Olympics 2012
are all shattered,
because of a bunch of people
that this government said
played their hearts out
for Singapore.
