It is felicitous news about Singapore Table Tennis have finally won championship in table tennis. Singapore beat China 3-1 in the World Team Table Tennis Championship. It a great honor to Singapore, as created history, because in 19 years, no one has beaten them (China)."
In my opinion, I’m having a mix feeling about it. I will not feel VERY proud about it, as we all know that the players are not the real citizens of Singapore. Although they (players) are PR [Permanent Resident] of Singapore now, they can still consider as the china citizens. It is a great honor to Singapore indeed; however, what will other countries like China think of it? Will they think that Singapore DO have talented people? Well, they might have the same feelings as the some of us; “yes, Singapore won but it’s the CHINA people who are actually winning”
They are still the players under the “foreign talent”. I do not disagree with Singapore’s government about attracting foreign talent, but too much focusing on foreign talent and neglected true Singaporeans' talent is too unfair to our own citizens. Singapore does have their own talented people.
Of course there's still be supporter who believe that it is a glory to Singapore. I also feel happy that Singapore has a championship finally, after so much effort. We also can’t blame them *players for “used to be a china citizen”, maybe in china there are too many competitors, hence here is a place where they can really show out their talent. And they really did win for Singapore, that’s the fact. We should thank them at the same time. Without them, other countries might not treat us *Singapore as a sport competitive country.
