Refering to the article in The New Paper dated 21.08.2008 Page 21
The article is about foreign talent debate.
The title of the article: 'Success of foreign talent discourages locals'.
I agree with the writer of the article, Ryan Huang about the article.
Some excerpts of what he wrote in the article:
''We have to be mindful not to use them as substitutes for home-grown talent.''
''The message this sends out is 'don't bother trying, we can find a foreigner who's better than you to wear the jersey'.''
'' Our real mission should be to nurture local talent.''
''It's not all about winning.''
My favourite excerpt of the article is the last one about how it is not
all about winning.
I am not against foreign talent playing for Singapore
but when it deprives the chance for local talent who is just as good
to represent Singapore, it bothers me.
