Many in Singapore are shocked at this seemingly rash act by the new Singapore Table Tennis Association president Lee Bee Wah.
Ms Lee, who according to the mainstream media, was just appointed last month in “her first foray into sports” is also a PAP MP.
Singapore just won second Olympic medal in 48 years
Singapore has just won its long overdue second Olympics medal after a hiatus of 48 years. This medal was the culmination of calculated government and STTA policies as well as the hard work of players and support staff, which included team manager Antony Lee and head coach Liu Guodong.
All of Singapore was looking forward to welcoming back these heroes and heroines.
Is STTA president’s action justified?
Notwithstanding the “Gao Ning incident” where no coach was present at Gao Ning’s match, is Ms Lee’s action justified?
We wait with bated breath to hear for ourselves why such drastic action has to be taken that could not even wait for a proper inquiry in Singapore. The alleged infraction must have been extremely grave to warrant immediate dismissal in Beijing!
Project 0812 chairman Ng Ser Miang is not the only person puzzled- the whole of Singapore is too!
