SINGAPORE: President Halimah Yacob has called on Singaporeans to support their national athletes after “negative, hurtful comments” against Joseph Schooling emerged following his exit from the Tokyo Olympics.
“I feel sad looking at how unkind we can be towards each other,” Madam Halimah said in a Facebook post on Friday (Jul 30).

“One moment, we carry people to the highest pedestal with our words, yet the next moment we thrash them to the ground just because they fail to live up to our expectations.”
Mdm Halimah said that this unkindness has been seen recently in sports, highlighting the racial abuse hurled at three of England’s black footballers after the country’s loss in Euro 2020, and the abuse directed at Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka following her defeat at the Tokyo Games.

Swim star Schooling became the target of harsh criticism after his defence of his 100m butterfly crown ended in the heats in Tokyo.
“Joseph Schooling, who won a gold in the 2016 Olympic Games, did not qualify for the semi-finals of the 100m swimming event in the Tokyo Olympics.
“That was the start of negative, hurtful comments against him. We forgot that he had helped us to win an Olympic gold medal and brought glory to our own sports history,” the President said.

President Halimah Yacob has called on Singaporeans to support their national athletes after “negative, hurtful comments” against Joseph Schooling emerged following his exit from the Tokyo Olympics.

Famous footballers many times Joseph Schooling's net worth have been insulted in worse ways after a bad game.

If you can't take hurt feelings, stay out of the public limelight.

It won't be long before the PAP has a 'I'm male but I identify as female' MP. The millennials really love that crap. The votes of many first-time voters can be easily secured.

The attitude of PAP to be blamed for this. Ban social pubs, clubs and sport clubs for Sinkie men to enjoy their manhood together over beer and women....

So when sport events like this happen the support are not there to help players who lose.

Stay away from evil BE bad culture of sport where there can only has a winner, the rest are losers. Even in economic performance they take it like a sport event that US is no.1 economy and is a winner.

Today they take EV cars like a sport event.... China is no. 1 is EV cars and US is no. 6 in position. What's there to compete like it is a sport event?

Did China compete with them to be no.1 spot in EV cars race?

Now we know the further away you stay from chao angmoh the better your country is... whatever we do has nothing to do with angmoh... tell them to fuck off.

Don't join any crazy angmoh sport event... bad culture....

Forgotten we had a president.

Schooling should have made some effort to shed the fats even before the games started. If he could not even do this, he should just have conceded and drop out of the Olympic Games citing the now ever popular reasoning....."mental health"
