This time, it brought disgrace to the country.
Li Jiawei, the 27 year-old China-trained table tennis player, who became Singapore citizen at the age of 18, voluteered to be the flag bearer for Singapore in the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic 2008.
She got her wish granted. With billions of eyes watching from worldwide, the Singapore flag she held had become a floor sweeper instead. The flag was dragged along the floor for most of the time during the team marching in the stadium. No one from the marching team noticed or came forward to rectify the disaster. It was a dsgraceful night!
The money has definitely brought talents to Singapore, but maybe not patriotism.
