There is speculation that Feng Tianwei refused to pay her coaches their equal share of the winnings, and that she also instigated other team members not to pay as well. Despite the STTA’s claims that it wanted to pursue its agenda of youth development, it is still unclear why the association would publicly humiliate Feng Tianwei to such an extent. Kemudian, what still bothers many people is why the STTA would turn on Feng Tianwei so unexpectedly. Karena itu, once the news of Feng Tianwei’s sacking was released, mainstream media outlets released scandalous reports, of how the Olympic medal winner had been insubordinate, cheated, refused to pay her share of winnings, and showed disrespect to authorities. It’s unusual for Singaporean news outlets and official government agencies, to release negative remarks on famed individuals, especially those such as Feng Tianwei, who have brought fame and pride to Singapore. Singapore’s leading public Youth and Sports institution, Sport Singapore, issued a statement about Feng Tianwei’s sacking, stating it would discuss “the option of supporting her under the Sports Excellence ( Spex) Scholarship scheme, and the performance targets and milestones expected of her”. Namun, the STTA’s reasoning was not consistent with its initial report, which emphasized youth development and the rejuvenation of its team, as the reason for Feng Tianwei’s sacking. In light of Feng Tianwei’s removal, the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA) released a string of comments about the star table tennis player, stating she lacked professionalism. Meskipun begitu, on Oct 25 th, Feng Tian Wei was removed from Singapore’s national team. Since then she’s gone on to win Singapore three out of five of its Olympic medals. Once Singapore obtained talents such as Feng Tianwei, it was able to challenge the traditional table tennis powerhouses, like South Korea and Japan on the international stage.įeng Tianwei also won Singapore its first Olympic medal in nearly six decades, selama 2008 Olimpiade Beijing. Starting from the time of Jing Junhong, Singapore has dominated the table tennis scene in ASEAN.

Namun, it has been the most successful for Singapore’s table tennis scene. Singapore’s intensive selection process has also applied to other sports such as track and field. Singapore often conducts an intensive selection of second tier talent from Chinese provinces, offering these Chinese table tennis players’ scholarships and allowing them to compete for Singapore. Demikian, Singapore has had a long history of importing talent from mainland China, for its controversial sport. Table tennis is one of Singapore’s most controversial sports. Kemudian, the case of Feng Tianwei extends to all foreign talent in Singapore, and raises the question if Singapore really needs foreign talent, to win its international fame. In light of allegations against Feng Tianwei, many are slandering the Olympic medal winner and questioning her character.
