I am very disappointed by the Defense Department's rejection of the request for the adjournment of National Service (NS) from Ben Davis, a Singaporean who was signed by an English Premier League club – the first opportunity offered to a Singaporean (Davis: Mindef, July 16)
In 1998, Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong set a target for Singapore to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
Twenty years later, Singapore is ranked at the bottom of the list., Far from the least ranked team of this year's World Cup, Russia, which is at No. 70. Why is this so?
Popular belief is that parents want kids to focus only on their studies. Davis is another missed opportunity, alongside other sports gems of the past, and even in the music field, who had to do the difficult and cruel choice at a young age between the national interest and the a passion of a lifetime.
to be considered past their first after NS, one may be that Singapore's marketing slogan is "Passion Made Possible".
I hope the government will be more open and allow more talent to develop their talents. potential and have every chance to make our nation proud in different areas.
