So if the Asian Youth Game is a success, will Singapore attribute some of the credit to Macau too? Or will it instead claim all the credit and trumpet it to the world how capable they are. BTW, isn't our civil servants' salaries many more times than their couterparts in Macau?

Macau shares knowledge of organisation with Singapore Asian Youth Games committee
A team of Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) experts left for Singapore yesterday for two days, with the purpose of sharing with the organising committees of the 1st Asian Youth Games in 2009 and the 1st Youth Olympic Games in 2010 their experiences of Macau and Doha in organising large-size multisport games.
The visit was made also to learn the preparation progress of the host city.
The visiting OCA experts included Manuel Silvério, Chairman of OCA Media Committee and President of the former Macau 2nd Asian Indoor Games Organising Committee (MAIGOC); Abdulla Al Murra, member of OCA Coordination Committee and Director of Protocol and International Affairs of the former Doha Asian Games Organising Committee (DAGOC); Isabel da Silva, member of OCA Women Committee and Director of International Affairs of MAIGOC; Soud Al Tamimi, member of OCA Media Committee and Manager of Media Services of DAGOC; as well as Cândida Ramos, Manager of Media Services and Television Broadcast of MAIGOC.
In yesterday’s transfer of knowledge between OCA and Singapore, the OCA experts were active to share their knowledge with the organisers of the two youth games in terms of hospitality, protocol, Games services, media service and television broadcast. Basing on their experience, the experts not only provided technical advice to the Singapore successors, but also particularly reminded the organising committee of the 1st Asian Youth Games of OCA’s rules and regulations in organising competition.
Manuel Silvério said Singapore should not only organise the Games according to OCA’s standards and requirements, but also start the preparation according to the actual situation of its own, and keep close contact with related government departments and NOC members. Abdulla Al Murra emphasised that the organising committee should be very serious and careful to handle each item in protocol and hospitality services, as good services can make participants enjoy the games and leave good impression on the host city.
The 1st Asian Youth Games is scheduled to take place between June 29 and July 7, 2009, which is expected to attract 1,300 young athletes between the ages of 14 and 17 to compete in swimming, diving, athletics, 3-on-3 basketball, beach volleyball, bowling, sailing, shooting, table tennis and football.
