I'm so ashamed. A living symbol of our country's achievement in sports and what had been done for him? Gave him a licence to drive a taxi and get abused by both local and foreigners alike. Present job. Glorifed cleaner of weight equipment. I'll make sure at the least my children will hear of this story. Thank you Lee Kuan Yew.

For the record we never had a locally borned Olympic medalist
I don't see how different he is compared to Li Jiawei who came here at 12/13 yrs old. She is now 28. I for one have no problem with Foreign born Athletes winning medals for us. Its not just us doing it, the US sent >30 FTs to the Olympics. Canada has an even greater number. To me What's more important is that they are willing to stay and continue to be part of the country even after their playing days. We should not be looking down on them, most of us are descendants of FTs to begin with. Even our most famous hero, Lim Bo Seng is an FT. However I have a lot of problems with FTs who are just in it for the money
