What does this mean for local sports?
I’m not sure how big of a role did SSA play towards his achievement but I bet the govt didnt do as much either.
If that’s true, the message I’m getting is, “We celebrate victories but you have to put in the effort yourself and raise your own funding.”
If the excuse is that people should be willing to sacrifice a lot to do what they love, clearly athlete development is not something that S’pore prioritises on investing in.
