SINGAPORE'S first women's team to reach the top of Mt Everest was welcomed home last night by a crowd of cheering supporters, including Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan.

Ms Joanne Soo, 39; Ms Lee Li Hui, 27; Ms Jane Lee, 25; Ms Esther Tan, 26; and Ms Lee Peh Gee, 32, conquered the mountain almost two weeks ago.

The sixth member, Ms Sim Yi Hui, had to drop out due to chest pains.

Speaking at a press conference after their arrival, the women said they will now focus on public education talks to urge more Singaporeans to fulfil their dreams by 'climbing their own Everests'.

Will you go for this kind of trip and make your parents worrried and cannot sleep ??

I WON'T !!!

 

[singveld]

welcome back.

 

[cass888]

They did so much better than the men's team.

Without all the fanfare, 5 out 6 made it to the top. The Singapore men's team had a miserly 2 who made it to the top.

And the two who made it to the top were not even genuine Singaporeans!

NS training actually made Sinkie men weak?

Those women didn't even gone thru BMT...

Well, you can't say that about the women's team.

the man team got that khoo arsehole.. he is from matland. he never serve NS.

 

[Vendetta]

These girls should be so relieved to come back to SG...

No more peeing in sub-zero temperature and shivering like mad in the process...

Hehehehehehe!

 

[Addadude]

Well, you can't say that about the women's team.

But sadly, Makapaaa would still classify them as SPGs!

 

[Lestat]

What is their purpose of the trip?

 

[cass888]

What is their purpose of the trip?

Don't be sour grapes. The women made it look so much easier than the men.

 

[singveld]

how did they do it.

what motivate them to do these things?
who are their heroes and inspiration?
who are their role model?

Just proves that you are a sissy and deserve to be replaced by a FT. More power to the women who reached the summit. At least they dont whine like you.

All the Sinkie men are here in this forum or in the other 3in1 forum determining who's mother has the smelliest CB. That's all that Sinkie men are capable of. Calling others names, abusing each other's mothers/sisters/wives and hiding behind the anonymity of the net.

The women of S'pore are more hard working and go-getters unlike the loser men.

 

[Sithclone]

its hard even with oxygen and sherpas helping, but the real heroes are still the sherpas.

 

[eatshitndie]

no excuse for cheebyes and wussies in sg to say they are too weak for ns.

Ehh, why then do they need a Women's Charter?

I'm sure that the men of Spore wouldn't mind sharing NS with the girls.

In this day of equal rights don't you think it should apply to both men & women
