Cos all $ would have gone to the FTrash if not into the Familee's pockets? The Papayas can claim that they can be corrupt if not paid billions, but yet they expect others to work for FREE? What gives?

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->National Sports Associations (NSAs) face problems with funding and finding the right volunteers to run them, according to Project 0812 chairman and Singapore National Olympic Council vice-president Ng Ser Miang.
Speaking to the media after the autograph session by Singapore's women paddlers at Ang Mo Kio yesterday, he noted that there will be challenges at all NSAs.
These include the lack of resources, volunteers and the differing experiences and backgrounds of the people in charge.
Mr Ng made those remarks following the recent saga at the Singapore Table Tennis Association.
'Sometimes, NSAs have to make difficult decisions,' he said. 'But what is most important is that we support the athletes and do what is best for the sport.'
At the same event yesterday, Senior Parliamentary Secretary (Community Development, Youth and Sports) Teo Ser Luck revealed that the presidents of the three new NSAs - modern pentathlon, handball and wrestling - have been selected.
The identities of the leaders, he said, would be announced by their respective associations soon.
The new NSAs have been formed to make sure that Singapore is represented in all 26 sports at the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympic Games.
Said Mr Teo: 'Some of them have already contacted the international federations. I hope each NSA will organise at least one international competition as a test event before the Youth Olympics.'
