S'pore table tennis wins championship:is there any glory?
Singapore Table tennis women team won the world table tennis championships in Moscow.This is something Singapore is happy about.History is made for Singapore because for 19 years ,no one had won China.The championship title brought glory to Singapore to a certain extent.
The table tennis women team is made up of foreign talent and this has brought about many discussions among people.Some people feel that it is okay for foreign talent to win glory for Singapore while others feel that it will be more appropriate for Singaporeans to win glory for the country.I feel that it is okay for foreign talent to live and work in Singapore because their contributions will be able to help Singapore's economy progress.Singapore do not have any natural resources,we depend largely on human resource.Therefore,with foreign talent,the human resource in Singapore will increase.
However,when it concerns worldwide events like Olympic games,where every country is supposed to send their country's representatives to participate,only Singaporeans should be involved.In the recent World Table Tennis Game,Singapore won the championships but many people had an opinion regarding the title bacause it was won by foreign talent and not Singaporeans.In that way,people might feel that this title is not truly earned.
