'But Singapore-based AFC Pro Diploma holders have, rather ironically,
moved on to other Asean countries, probably because of a lack of
home-grown appreciation, such as Micheal Wong (Technical Director,
Laos), V. Sundramoorthy (Head Coach, Laos), P. N. Sivaji (Technical
Director, Hantharwady United FC, Myanmar) and Robert Lim (previously,
youth development in Thailand & Vietnam). Other prominent names out
of town are AFC “A”-Licence holders Aidil Shahrin (Head Coach, Kedah,
Malaysia) and Stephen Ng (Head, Youth Development, Brunei)...
Another
former national coach, who declines to be named, says the
“top-qualified coaches should be pushed to the S-League clubs which is
the pinnacle of Singapore football”. He adds: “The answer is not always
with foreign coaches as we’ve experimented with so many from Trevor
Hartley, Micheal Walker, Burkhard Ziese, Jan Poulsen, Barry Whitbread,
Raddy Avramovic, Bernd Stange, Slobodan Pavkovic and Michel Sablon”.
Jan
Poulsen, the ex-Denmark coach who was with the Danes’ Euro 1992-winning
team, says: “Basically I agree with Vincent Subramaniam. In order to
get football to progress you must have a good infrastructure, good
coaches, a good youth development structure (competitive leagues) and a
common philosophy – the Singapore way...'
Oops, I think the above is from thenewpaper or Today. Misplaced the source.
What is the Singapore way? More Singaporeans or more foreigners, more instant trees? By the look of it, the Singapore way is about replacing Singaporeans with foreigners. They are now looking for another national coach. Are they going to bring in another foreigner to do the same again? For so many years, have they not wasted enough money on the foreign myth, that a foreign coach could turn Ah Meng into a football star? Stupidity is about repeating the same mistake over and over again.
Very likely until today they still have no clue why the Singapore football is in the current state of affair, going no where. And they are desperately hoping that a foreigner could tell them what is wrong and how to turn half baked footballers into world beaters.
Bet you, another foreigner is likely to be on the way here to collect his big fat pay for another few years and Singapore football would be where it is from today until he left laughing to the bank.
The football fraternity are completely lost in coming out with a solution other than repeating the same old trick over and over again. In this case, perhaps you need to bring in a bunch of system engineers, completely clean heads, with no historical baggages, to take a fresh look at the problems and try something new. The same old heads and minds would not be able to see through the veil they covered themselves and no breakthrough is likely to come about.
Maybe a super talent politician could do the trick. It is possible to spend a few billions, like buying the F35s, to buy a complete international team to win football matches. Or at least it would awe the competition that we have the best money can buy.
Very likely until today they still have no clue why the Singapore football is in the current state of affair, going no where.

I think they have clue what is wrong but maybe football is not in their priority to make it right lah.
Just like helping daft & suffering Sinkies is not in their priority lah.
So let Singapore football go nowhere lah, let daft Sinkies suffer lah.
After all PAP still can win big in elections, correct or not?
Maybe a super talent politician could do the trick.
ReplyDeleteRB
Their super talent as politician is to win election, and win big lah.
So that after that they can continue to draw super pay for themselves mah.
And for a politician, this is what really matters, correct or not?
So what talent and what trick you want? And for what? TCSS?

True lah, it is Kampong Std football, that's why they are doing something about it mah.
But whether can get it better or not, it's another matter lah.
If can, then good lah. If cannot, doesn't matter lah.
After all, football is not a life and death matter for Sinkies, or can football make PAP lose elections, right?
I would suggest they send some of those MPs that have nothing better to do to be talent scouts like scouting for table tennis players, to neighbouring countries to talent hunt their young footballers. Some MPs are very good in this kind of thing.

Forget about Singapore football. It is like flogging a dead horse. Years of talking about bringing in foreign coaches and players, or using local coaches to improve the game have done little to raise standards. Even bringing in Alex Ferguson, at his peak, will not do the job well.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about the mentality of the players. Winning one game and the media heap their praises to high heaven. It gets to swell heads and by the next game they fell like a ton of bricks, even against lesser opponents in ASEAN. Look at the way the Vietnamese and Thais played. And the rest of ASEAN are passing us by, including Laos and Cambodia.
From goal 2010, when the jinx spoke, we have already started our downfall. That is not the only pronouncement that never materialised.
Let it go!
Same thing with foreign workers. Do they really care about productivity and quality of work done? Their main mission is to work here for a stretch, collect the good pay and off they go, collecting their CPF in full, which locals are even unable to do so.
ReplyDeleteSo, foreign coaches come here for the same thing and the same reason. After their contract is up, off they go, collecting their ….. Would they care whether Singapore goes to the World Cup? They are even in better state than local coaches because they can easily go elsewhere, while local coaches only serve the S-league or minor league in ASEAN with the better ones maybe ASEAN state teams. That is all.
@ RB
ReplyDeleteUnless you all have been sleepwalking for the last...oh, I don't know...few decades, you will have got the BIG IDEA already. And that ide is the VALUE of the SINGAPORE BRAND.
"Branding" is a technique where reputations and perceived values are created by savvy marketing types to boost the profile of their subject by influencing the minds of potential "customers" or the public in general. The goal is to get these ideas to propagate VIRALLY so that eventually it becomes common "knowledge". Yup, when people, in general, accept this brainwashing as "knowledge", you know you've been successful in establishing a BRAND.
But you cannot stop. You have to keep pumping away at branding...adding more and more "evidence" --- delivered with emotion and passion --- to maintain and increase the GOOD reputation of the brand.
And Singapore does this so damn well. For e.g.:
1 Singapore: The Impossible Story (by EDB)
2 Singapore – Where Passion is Made Possible (by Visit Singapore, STB)
If you consider the production values on these short marketing videos, you will agree the standard is world-class, Hollywood standard. And that means they spent lots of tax-payer dollars making them.
So yah, RB. It's the brand. If that requires the injection of foreign talent to keep building the strength of the brand... so be it.
Anything goes, as far as the Singapore government is concerned. There are no lines they won't cross, and they'll even make up some new "lines" of their own.
The Huge Elephant in the Singapore Sports Hall of Fame (or Shame, or Disgrace, or Fraud) is that Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia and Laos are having Singaporeans as their coaches, while the Singapore Team that lost to them are being coached by very expensive foreign coach.
ReplyDeleteWhat does that tell us?
Can Sg be ASEAN football hub?
ReplyDeleteSg boleh?
Actually coaches can only do so much. It is the players that go onto the field. I am no expert in football, not even a fan. But strangely enough, some coaches failed repeatedly when attached to some teams and finding success brilliantly when attached to one particular team after going round in circles. Why is that so?
ReplyDelete@ 1212
ReplyDeleteThe EDB video clearly states that anything is possible in Singapore. Therefore you (the foreigner) must come to Singapore, and bring all your money with you π
Singapore is already a well-established "gold standard" in terms of development on every front: social, economic, financial strength, defence, education, infrastructure, international influence and importance, quality of government...you name it, we've probably won awards in that field.
We're so darn good that China has so far sent around 30,000 of their people to be trained here in Singapore, mainly at the Lee Kuan Yew Institute For Public Policy @NUS. But it's not only China who've sent their people. Other Asian cuntries too. Lee Kuan Yew's legacy lives on by training Asia's current and future leaders. That thought is both awesome and scary at the same time. π€‘
Cambodia and Laos are hungry for success, knowing they are starting from behind others in ASEAN.
ReplyDeleteWhen people are hungry for success, they work doubly hard, like the Japs, South Koreans and Chinese. It is human nature under adversity. Or just look at the Chinese and Indians in Malaysia for a start.
@ all, the truth in plain sight:
ReplyDeleteFrom: https://lkyspp.nus.edu.sg/
"The Applying Behavioural Insights into Public Policy masterclass was an exciting opportunity to challenge assumptions on human behaviour"π§π€
Oh yeah! Just as I had suspected all along. They are teaching social engineering, cognitive hacking and other tools designed to influence the thoughts of the masses.ππ»ππ½ππ»
You don't even know that you're being manipulated...probably moment-to-moment. π½π€
Resistance is Futile
In every country, where the are elections, which are the contests of winning the hearts and minds of the electorate, the political parties (especially the ruling party) will use any methods of manipulation of the voters' minds.

GREED -The Root of ALL Evils
ReplyDeleteFrom CNN, report by Ralph Ellis:
"Howard Pilmar, a successful New York businessman, was found dead inside his Manhattan office on March 21, 1996 -- a slaying that shocked New Yorkers because of its brutality.
Pilmar's throat was slashed and he was stabbed 48 times. The attack continued after his heart stopped beating and his body was left on the floor, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a news release.
Investigators spent more than two decades looking for his killers and finally arrested two people in 2017 -- Pilmar's widow, Roslyn Pilmar, then 60, and her brother, Evan Wald, then 43."
Roslyn Pilmar and Evan Wald were convicted for Second Degree Murder by a jury, after escaping the crime and living it up on the undeserved wealth of her brutally murdered husband for 23 years.
Are there people in Singapore who have escaped their crimes and are living it up on the spoils and still nobody is the wiser after 23 years?

ReplyDelete"Take the case of the existing India-Singapore Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement “CECA” for example. This FTA literally opens the floodgate to the unrestraint flow of Indian professionals into our employment market to replace our own professionals. Over time, many cases of their “fake” qualification & expertise, and bad social-behaviours are beginning to surface, further compounding the issue, and in turn, eroded the Singapore brand....
When we realize that our working class is made up of our children, family members, relatives, loved ones, neighbours, friends, ex-schoolmates, religious-congregations, social groups, associates etc., can we remain silent in good conscience?"

Those who supported China in their Belt & Road Initative.

Likewise those dafts who brought their fighter planes.
Once you turned against them, Poof you arw DEAD.
Or in the case you use against them. They have the utilimate control to nail you.
China already asking it's airlines to ground the Boeing 737.
ReplyDeleteTalk that Boeing is able to control its planes that it sold has been making the rounds unofficially, but of course they will deny.
If Boeing is under US Government control, anything is possible. It takes a thief to catch a thief, and that is the exact same reason the US is targeting Huawei.
@ no one likes crashing planes:
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if the 737 MAXs all over the world are grounded. 2 crashes in 4 months. Could be coincidence or just bad luck, but better to be safe... ground them all!
Boeing needn't worry lah. Nor Airbus either when they've stopped with their A330. The EU taxpayers are bailing them out. Anyway both Boeing and Airbus are defence contractors. Sure, passenger aircraft is revenue stream for them. But they're also cutting edge "war technologists" and can be included in any War Stocks portfolio. π€ππ€
