Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu are among the three Singaporean athletes who were inducted into the Singapore Sports Hall of Fame. The two ex-PRC new citizens received their award from Minister Lawrence Wong this evening (May 12) at the Team Singapore 28th SEA Games Flag Presentation.

In 2005 and 2007 respectively, the Singapore Government fast tracked the Singapore citizenship of China-based table tennis players Wang Yue Gu and Feng Tian Wei under the Foreign Sports Talent Scheme. They subsequently won several silver medals in various international competitions, with the gold medals going to only China.

For the past decade, many Singaporeans have voiced their concerns that they are not proud of these new citizens who are perceived as only mercenaries, and that the Singapore Government bought these medals using foreign imports. It is also widely known that Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu are not able to converse in English, and has always answered media questions in Mandarin.

I am very proud of the accomplishment of our new citizens. This shows that PAP did the right thing to bring in foreign talent. Most sinkies are only good at getting paddled. They can't play ping pong as well as an idiot like Forrest Gump!

Who cares about ping pong? There isn't even a professional league for it!

Li Jia Wei took our money, and in return, delivered us many medals during her tenure as a professional athlete. It's better than what most sinkie athletes have achieved.

It would be ideal if she stayed behind and trained the next generation. But she did nothing wrong by choosing to leave. Li Jia Wei discharged her obligations to Singapore honourably, and I would not tolerate lesser mortals like yourself criticizing her for the sake of opposing PAP!
