Chitchat Desperate PAP/Tharman on Schooling

[Sammyboy RSS Feed]

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Looks like PAP needs Schooling more than Schooling needs the country. So desperate that they are that they are now re-writing history on the sly.

Tao Li, china born Singaporean that made history by being the first to make an Olympic final. Maybe he should have inserted that Schooling is the first Singapore born to make an Olympic final.

If Schooling wins a medal, the PAP will be all over him like a rash and will claim the credit to no end. Ng Eng Hen will give an interview why he made the unprecedented decision to grant an NS deferment.

What a sensation Joseph Isaac Schooling is.
Fastest in the 100m butterfly heats. Fastest in the semi-finals. Fastest time in the world this year. Fastest Asian ever.
We felt so much pride when the commentator highlighted to the world, immediately after the heats, that two Singaporeans had qualified for the top 16. That was thanks to Quah Zheng Wen posting his personal best - he was not as brawny as the rest, but swam with great style.
Now Joseph has made it to the finals, topping the list, and history has been made for our little nation.
Joseph told the media after his semi-final win: “I feel fine.. It was all about posting a good enough time to get into top eight. And come back tomorrow and try to do it. It’s a good confidence booster but doesn’t really mean anything.” He’s quite the cool Joe.
Don’t miss the finals Saturday at 9.10am Singapore time.
