If you are so interested in these topic, it should be in another forum, or at least another thread, instead of JO semis. Thanks

yah loh.... i'm juz saying wat i thought or wat i know.... i'm juz tat straight forward...... but they don agree so i apologised for making tat sentencejhl said:Hong
Don't apologise for saying that Susilo is a foreign/imported talent because he is. Being new to badminton does not make you new to common sense. You are just opining the view of the silent majority.
khelben said:well... it's sad u feel that way... if u feel nationality is something ur born with like your gender... then well no one not born on our soil will ever be singaporean... so who cares abt citizenship... it just states where your born...
oh wait... i am singaporean... wonder what i did to deserve citizenship... oh yeah.. i was born here... big fat hairy deal...

Loh said:Sorry you don't share our sentiments. Wonder where you're from? Remember Ronald is a pro, naturally he has to work hard to earn the money. He's getting the desired results at this JO and now he's made to the Finals. How many can make it this far for S'pore? ...![]()

that's what i'm talking about, you overcome the barrier of nationality, but unfortunately, most people stuck in it.
Loh said:Local paper, "Today", this morning had journalist Tan Yo-Hinn reporting on the warm reception of "about 50 well-wishers waiting for Singapore's No 1 badminton player at the airport last night, among them the Minister for the Environment and Singpore Badminton Association president, Lim Swee Say."
Said Minister Lim: "I SALUTE Ronald for his great skill and tough mental strength, and his OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION to the development of badminton in Singapore.
"Even though this is unexpected, it is certainly not unbelievable, Ronald has worked very hard for this.
"We are PROUD that he has come up top in Japan. It is a breakthrough for Ronald and Singapore. We (SBA and the Singapore Government I take it to mean) have worked hard for a long time for this day to come.
"I'm sure this breakthrough win will spur Ronald to work even harder, and play even smarter towards the Olympic dream."
Now, a Minister of the Singapore Government publicly made those congratulatory statements! You can judge for yourself whether Ronald's contribution make a difference to Singapore.
But I am further moved when Ronald said these words: "It's an honour to win and I am proud of bringing glory to Singapore. I would like to thank everyone for their help. After the win, I nearly shed a tear."
We are proud of you Ronald and may "The Best Is Yet To Be".![]()
