Singapore table tennis team wins championship!!!= glory ?
Singapore has won its first gold medal in the World Table-Tennis Championship which was held in Russia, Moscow. The final are between Singapore and China, after a series of tough set Singapore was declared the winner. This event should have made the whole nation proud, but somehow lots of Singapore does not really accept this win as a proud matter. This is because the player that made the Singapore table tennis team that represent for the competition are all permanent residents living in Singapore but were however born in China.

Lots of Singaporean feels that it is more like a China versus China final, and not a Singapore versus China event. There is nothing to be proud of since it’s not won by local Singaporean.
But there is also another group of Singaporean who are really proud of the Singapore Table tennis team. As they think that since they decided to play for Singapore, it means that they are willing to be a part of Singapore.

For my own opinion, I think that we all should be proud for our Singapore Table Tennis team. To me Singapore is a multi racial country it does not matter which country you from, as long as you choose to play for Singapore he/she must be a part of our family. Hence we should all be proud of the team as they are willing to fight their home country as a Singaporean.
