<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->China's opening ceremony of the Olympics on Friday was a spectacular and really professional affair which would have impressed the world, Mr Lee Kuan Yew said yesterday.
The Minister Mentor was at the event, accompanied by Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi.
The Chinese government had assigned Mr Yang to accompany Mr Lee as well as former United States president George H.W. Bush - a significant gesture to demonstrate that the Chinese government treasured its relationship with the former leaders of Singapore and the United States.
Mr Lee, who also met Chinese Vice-President Xi Jinping during his three-day stay in Beijing, was back in Singapore yesterday to attend the National Day Parade.
Speaking to reporters after the parade, he noted how the drummers in the opening segment in Beijing performed in complete unison.
'They had absolute possession of the sticks, which I think must have impressed everybody there and around the world,' he said.
'Three billion people must have seen the effort that they made and the discipline that they showed, and the taiji and all the rest of it.
'But you must remember, they are choosing from 1,300 million people. As I told the Foreign Minister who was sitting next to me: When you chose one astronaut, you started with 1,500.'
Mr Lee added: 'If you drive to Beijing, apart from the haze which they could not control...the greenery, the smoothness of the roads, they got flowers and potted plants to bloom just in time and whole kilometres of it...That was a major effort...whole stretches, airport to city, within the city and from the city to the Olympic stadium.' He said that 'any unbiased, even a biased, foreigner will know that this is a very determined people with the capability whose potential must mean that they will end up as a top player'.

while we make a mockery of ourselves in saying that the athletes village for the world's 1st youth olympic will be delayed, hence they're relocating the accomodations to NTU hostels.... n we're telling the world that our stadiums for the youth olympics having set backs, n will make arrangement & logistics to accomodate as well.

we're indirectly showing the world that we're determined too.... determined to screw up.
