Pay them so much but they never improve things. Our athletes work harder than them and deserve more than this.

If you recall, some time in January, a Caucasian man was seen skiing on the road in the CBD area. Netizens questioned if it posed a danger to motorists but there was no news of any warning given to him. Now, we are seeing an ang moh again in the CBD once again doing a "roller-skiing" workout, presumably due to emptier road conditions during the circuit breaker.

Two-time gold medalist in the Southeast Asian Games marathon event Soh Rui Yong is attempting to add another milestone to his track and field career when he tries to break the 5,000m national record at the Flash Athletics Club annual Flash Relays to be held on Saturday, 7 October at the Bishan Stadium.

Jose Raymond, Vice-President of Singapore Swimming, refuted claims by Min Grace Fu that Team Singapore athletes are well-funded. He listed many examples of athletes who faced problems getting funding and suggested a review.

Singapore marathoner Soh Rui Yong disclosed the amount spent by Singapore Athletics on sprinters and long distance runners. According to what he said, the SA didn't even contribute much, still dare to ask him to contribute his salary to them?

The SEA games organising committee has condemned offensive remarks by Malaysian football fans who chanted "Singapore dogs" during a game. The committee called it "regrettable" as it was against the spirit of unity. What's the point of winning the game if you lose your moral and dignity?

A football fan felt cheated that Messi will not be playing in tonight's match despite repeated assurance that he will turn up. He blamed the organisers for not having integrity and by making use of Messi's star-draw to make money. "Promoting the match using his undisputed star-draw, then belatedly and limply attributing his absence to "personal reasons", without even a cursory attempt at an explanation, displays an alarming lack of integrity and competence, and a blatant disrespect for football fans on the part of the organisers. It has been widely reported that Messi was preparing for his wedding at the end of this month. Surely a responsible organiser would have scrupulously confirmed if he would be part of the game."

We may be able to accommodate the 6.9 M population with 700,000 more homes, but all in pigeon holes of 50 stories high blocks almost side by side, is not what we see as quality living. Quality living is not how many homes is being built and how long the train lines will be, it is how well the homes are built and how the environment is like without one looking out of the window and all one sees is human beings and another block of HDB flats all over the place.

Feng Tianwei beat Olympic champion and world No.1 Ding Ning 12-10, 13-15, 2-11, 11-7, 7-5 yesterday (Dec 4) in the Chinese Super League. Feng, who is ranked world no.5 was representing the club Ordos. Feng was dropped by the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA) in October 2016 as she “does not fit into the STTA’s current plans for rejuvenation”.

What is wrong with you guys, the INCUMBENT TEAM at FAS? You say one thing to cull off the AGM and then now you call for EOGM without making one attempt to engage in dialogue or consultation or discussion with us and come to some form of agreement on the proposed amendments.
