FAS was doomed when PAP ministers/PAP members without any prior experience to man a football club was appointed to its post as chairperson.

Over the yr FAS had few saga caused by its Managment.

His IC naturalized one, ROS can agree ?

 

[SaintPeachie]

Hope to see more players with fighting spirit like Qiu Li

 

[MaskedRider555]

New way to launder money?

most likely

 

[parchiao]

I am 100% sure he can do better than any PAP appointee or PAP man.

These PAP people only know how to carry them and score own goals.

 

[ZaiNan]

No wonder, he up the base fees for Shopee now going to pump into S league

 

[DexRunner]

Shopee premier league lai liao!!!!

His IC naturalized one, ROS can agree ?

No
NRIC is not the issue

It's obvious
This role is like other roles

It's not up to the incumbent to decide on many things and issues concerning Singapore football and It's not for the incumbent to enjoy all the perks I'm sure FIFA will give to him EVEN if he donated shite load to Singapore football

That again isn't the issue although PAP will never openly agree that they won't appoint a better man for the job unless he listens to PAP

PAP only care that their position of power is not usurped.

If win something in football, make sure Gerry Wong is there to claim some credit.
