Bit of a late pass but here’s to the Singapore table tennis team, Wang Yuegu, Feng Tianwei and Li Jiawei. They battled long and hard to get to the final and record the nation’s second ever Olympic medal. A lot has been made about their being born in China and not really being Singaporean but I think they are. Afterall, we’re a nation of immigrants, what’s adding another 3 more? We’ve always been able to adapt and extend beyond our pathetic physical size by looking outwards anyway. This victory might be a touch hollow for some but nevertheless, it remains a victory that reminds us that we need to keep looking outside the miniscule island that is Singapore. That’s if we want to continue on the way we’re heading of course.

Bravo ladies. Bravo.
