His timing improved from his Olympic timing after he go NS. Our badminton player also go NS come out become world champion. Doesn't this go to show that NS is a privilege that benefits our sportsmen? Maybe the dialogue should be to increase the NS cycle for athletes, so they can perform even better in sports
exactly enlist all females athletes ASAP.




oh wait societal cost too high liao

SRY made them angwee, they asked him to eff off all the same. No medals? No problem.

These self entitled sportsmen need to know not everything revolves around them.

Respect him for winning Olympic Gold medal.
But by asking a dialogue on NS, cannot help but start questioning if he is becoming a strawberry. (don't mean he is a strawberry)
Perhaps we can have a dialogue to discuss if he is turning into a strawberry.
Just saying only.

Govt can give him iron rice bowl and make him national swimming coach to train SG swimming coaches so that whole national primary school students (pri 1-3) will have compulsory swimming classes.

At least cut it down to 1 year… save everybody’s time.
Enlist females to make up for the 1 year reduction.

JS is right that since he is an NSF, he cannot be expected to train to reach his competition level. In fact, we should be glad that he can swim at all, since NS takes up most of his time, even if he gets to book out daily.

The mouth and facial expression combined, looks like a disguised middle finger sign to me.
