We won a medal...right?

I'm sure all of you know by now that Singapore has won a silver medal in the Olympics thanks to the women's table tennis team. According to the very "reliable" source aka the Straits Times,the nation is proud of their success. Some people have also said something along the lines of "Finally,we won another medal thanks to foreign talent."

But have we really won a medal? The members of the table tennis team all came from China. They migrated to Singapore to lead a better life and you really can't blame them,seeing as China only cares about perfection,which they showed for the world to see at the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

So the match that day was really China vs China. However,our amazing government has managed to brainwash most of the country to take the team's achievement as their own. We did not win the medal. The foreign talents did. And even if everyone accepted them,they would still be foreign talents.

Let's hope that in the 2012 Olympics,Singapore's people will win a medal for their birth country and prove to the world that we do not rely on Foreign Talent
