this is long overdue.
Being Singaporean is not about ancestry but rather choice and conviction. So cut those fine Singaporeans some slack!
Like Mr Tan Howe Liang, they have done something many of us cant even come close to. As a fellow Singaporean, I feel exceptionally proud of their achievements. Reckon that this is our first medal after independence, nothing can take away their choice and conviction in representing the Republic. Not you, Lee Bee Wah, and not you xenophobic Singaporeans out there.
Ask your gramps and nana where they came from and you will understand where I am coming from. ask yourself whether you felt Feng Tian Wei's pain and Li Jia Wei's agony and Tao Li's near miss. didnt you feel nothing at all? oh come on, embrace their diversity. Love their uniqueness. Feel for them. Coz that is what makes Singapore unique - Unity in Diversity. And that is all I have to say.
Congratulations Team Singapore. And thumbs down to Lee Bee Wah for being such a cold blanket.
