My FTW rant

| Monday, August 27, 2012
Ok, Sorry it's not actually aimed at Feng Tian Wei. I just want to offer my perspective on the whole foreign talent representing Singapore in sports debate. I think everyone is confusing sports with economic success/hitting kpis or some industry where getting the best person to fit the bill is being argued. Since when did winning olympic medals become some approved KPI as a nation? Some people are going on about how it's about a temporary solution, or the best we can do for now. What is the problem in the first place? That we as a nation pride education above sporting excellence for our kids? That's a practical reality, not a problem to be fixed.  Here is my facebook rant in all its glory. And an example of the people i do not understand just below it. I don't want to nitpick or Mr Chan apart cause it seems like a well intended post, but there are so many misplaced assumptions about what i think the nation is actually pissed off about. Again, it's not about winning medals or not, its about WHO we want winning these medals
