Are Singapore's medals won by foreign talent glorious?
The championship won by foreign talents representing Singapore, is it glorious? Many Singaporeans would ask. This was also a question which my family talked about when the China players won championship for Singapore. Personally, i find that there is nothing much to be happy at when we heard the news of Singapore winning the championship. As the medals that we achieved was not won by a Singaporean, so how can that be glorious?
Many would say that even though the players are not Singaporean, but they are representing us. However, i feel that unless if it is a Singaporean that represents us, it would not be glorious. After all these athletes are not Singaporean and they will not play for Singapore glory, they just play for the sake of keeping their job, their own title and materialistic needs such as money. Frankly speaking i doubt any of the foreign talents would be willing to play for Singapore if they will not get any rewards or title. On the other hand, if you get a Singaporean to play for Singapore without such benefits, they will be willing to play as they are proud to do a part for Singapore. For such cases, even if these Singapore representatives do not win any medals, Singaporeans will still find it more glorious than getting a foreign talent to represent Singapore.
Love Singapore!
