Our main goal was to bring a medal home after after 48 years.<BR/><BR/>Li Jiawei has adopted Singapore, but Singapore has not graciously embraced her. <BR/><BR/>We (some of us) nitpick and look for faults with a magnifying glass, not realising that we are not so great after all.<BR/><BR/>We (some of us) criticise her for not mastering the English language. How many Singaporeans do speak English? I am not tocking bout Singlish. Those can tock Singlish got plenty. <BR/><BR/>We (some of us) abuse her calling her names which she does not deserve.<BR/><BR/>Why of all the Singaporeans they must choose that China girl to hold our flag? Well, isn't it obvious. that China girl is now a Singapore girl and she puts Singapore on the world ping pong map, she brings home a medal we all crave for all these years.<BR/><BR/>That's why they choose that China (now Singapore) girl.FineCityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761672156903156235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-86637443552390235972008-08-28T14:02:00.000+08:002008-08-28T14:02:00.000+08:00I am a Singaporean, but am greatly appalled and as...I am a Singaporean, but am greatly appalled and ashamed by most of you UGLY Singaporeans who posted unreasonable criticism about Li Jiawei, especially the idiot who put up this video and making sarcastic remarks.danceybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037111915377395627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-43434176038805768432008-08-27T02:11:00.000+08:002008-08-27T02:11:00.000+08:00She is groomed and has lived in Singapore for 13 ...She is groomed and has lived in Singapore for 13 years.

Canada and US table tennis team also have Chinese born players. The difference is they were not scouted by the government and usually immigrated to Canada/US with their family or for other reasons. Another thing I find strange is Li Jiawei arrived in Singapore when she was only 14 and still cannot speak English properly. It is a disgrace the Singaporean government only cared about her table tennis skills and did not do enough to care about other things like improving her English etc. Xian Yi Fang, another Chinese born player, plays for France. She arrived in France when she was 21 amd has lived there for eleven years the same amount of time as Li Jiawei has been in Singapore. Unlike Li, Xian can speak the language of her adopted country - French.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-83561201446543144072008-08-18T21:44:00.000+08:002008-08-18T21:44:00.000+08:00Hey, think and say whatever you want.

Face it, your ancestors were once foreigners as well. Does it disqualify them, or you, as a Singaporean? Singapore was built with foreign hands, and is still being done so.<BR/><BR/>The embracement of foreign talent was what made Rome a great nation (thousands of years ago), and was also what made America a great nation. Xenophobia does not encourage success because it limits opportunities. We should embrace and BE PROUD that someone with such talent such as Jiawei wants to be a Singapore citizen, not lambaste them.<BR/><BR/>She has my respect as a Singaporean AND as a great athlete.

I lived there for a few years in my life. I loved the country, the people, the economics, the low crime rate.<BR/><BR/>I've been disappointed in the past week. Yes it only takes one week for Singaporeans to change my perspective and view of Singapore.<BR/><BR/>When I was doing my Secondary School there 10 years ago, I've met great Singaporean friends. Even though we were of foreign status, people that I've met treated us as equal. Out of the five people who were sitting in the Top 5, four of us were foreign students. Regardless of what nationality we had, the school and fellow students were still proud of our achievements.<BR/><BR/>10 years have passed. Instead of becoming more understanding, tolerant of people from different background, most of you call these athletes names... 'imports', 'athlete bought from china', just to name few from 3 articles I've read so far about RS and LJW.<BR/><BR/>Why does it matter if these athletes come from different national? At the end of the day, they go into the battlefield/competition as Singaporeans. They carry Singaporean flag.<BR/><BR/>Your attitude and perspective are very different to the Australians.<BR/>We do not care if you were Chinese, Malaysians, Indonesians, Iraqis, Russians, Americans... Once you don the green and glod outfit, we see you as fellow Australians and we'll cheer for you at the Olympics.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849753762404511514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-38173467045079079422008-08-17T20:35:00.000+08:002008-08-17T20:35:00.000+08:00It's ironic how "the athlete purchased from China"...It's ironic how "the athlete purchased from China" is one of the people that brings <B>the first medal</B> for Singapore.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849753762404511514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20002555.post-88973485993494504262008-08-16T10:12:00.000+08:002008-08-16T10:12:00.000+08:00Let's face it!

Carrying such a flag no doubt needs some strength and skill in carrying, and perhaps Lee was not the proper flagbearer for that (from what we see from the video). <BR/><BR/>This is a mistake of the whole SGteam for agreeing to let her be the one carrying the flag and not Lee herself. So stop putting so much blame on her.<BR/><BR/>To those people who think she isn't worth being part of the SGteam, let me say: Our ancestors once come from China / India / Malaysia... Our great great great grand parents may not be pure Singaporean born but they are the ones who help us build SG.
