Fantastic moment for Singapore!
I like to use SGP short form for Singapore instead of SIN. I suppose many singaporean were watching the Table-tennis match between China and SGP at 7.30pm on 17.08.08. First was the happy moment to get in to final for at least a Silver medal after 48 years and then came the excitement match and finally proud moment to see our State Flag went up after 48 years for silver medal at the Olympia!! Congratulations! The joy will be much different if the three players are not under the foreign talent import scheme. They are from China!! Though, they are now a Singaporean but still different!! No choice lah! a small nation like us cannot find sport talents also become most of the parents here still prefer their children to go main stream than to SPORT. Perhaps, soon will change because of $$$$ I think only SGP reward big sum to those players who manage to get a medal. Silver - S$750K and S$1.5millions for GOLd!! Why not? And where the money come from?
