A Quitter's Glory!
A family I love left Singapore because they have the alternative of not taking the crap dishes out by the PAP government. When members of the family were called "quitters" by SM Goh Chok Tong, you can imagine their happiness and lightheartedness when they found out that the daughter of GCT is a quitter too - another "fair weather Singaporean", lamented GCT!Wu Chia-ching, a 20-year-old Taiwanese has just become a Singapore PR who may become a Singapore citizen soon. Said Cuesports Singapore's vice-president Ivan Lim: 'He is not just here to win medals. We want him to be involved with the schools and be a role model for younger players.'[Link]
Role Model?
- Yes, work hard, be the best that you can be and make Singapore proud! . . . OR . . .
- Work hard, be the best that you can be and sell (pimp) your birthright and nationality to the highest bidder?
Maybe I'm an old fogey whose value is out of sync but to buy a foreigner and to piss off Taiwan (a friendly neighbour who allows us their land for our military training) is a little too much to bear. "Ghee Kee" - roughly translated from Hokkien: "Loyalty" or "You don't play out or screw up your ally (brother)" is missing big time here!
So what's loyalty to Singapore worth?
Squat, a load of crap or the colour of money like what we pay the ministers?
The cheek to make a song and dance out of hustling a pool talent from a friendly country on the front page of ST shows what kind of a cuntry we have become.
The role model bit is just too hard to swallow.
Yes, as each day passes, Singapore is becoming more a cuntry than a nation.
Yes, buy and sell.
Break the bank for the glory-maker and let the unproductive (used to be nation builders) rot and die (preferably in JB).
Prosecute and prostitute!
Majulah Singapura!

Role model for the young ones? And what is that?
Sell your citizenship to the highest bidder?
And if you fail to perform, we stop the sponsorship and you return to China (same ode to our track and field stars ad nauseum)
Very soon, foreigners will also learn to take the sponsorship as a paid long holiday here, just do the necessary bit and if performance is lacking, just go back home. Who is the sucker?
I believe Taiwanese are allowed to hold dual citizenship.
So what role model can this bloke be ?
Also not surprise should Edison Chen become a S'pore citizen.
Afterall Edison can claim he is skilful with his cue too, the one between his family jewels, if you know what I mean.
Are taxpayers footing the bill for his S$ 196,000 per annum salary?
Is he really worth Sg paying 7.7 times (NT4,600,000/NT600,000) more than what Taiwan can afford?

Over a period 5 years, that amounts to almost million dollars.
Could those funds be better utilised for creating opportunities for local players to compete abroad for international exposure.
Alternatively, those funds could even used for other more pressing national needs like filling empty stomachs during this recession!
aiyar.. this country is "eat inside, crawl outside" one.. sad...
How can a quitter from another country be a role model for Singaporeans? He or she can only serve as a "Model Quitter"!
Toes Laughed.
Would that guy be playing in the coming youth olypics.
The govt and its underlings are out on a project for the 'war'.
What in Chinese we called: 'chao1 ping1 mai3 ma3'.
Anything for glory,even if it's someone's backside skin.
I do hate the double standards and two-faced lies that we are constantly subjected to...
Nice article!
