Singapore
Masters Athletics(SMA) is making a bid for Singapore to host the next World
Masters Championship in 2023, the tenth in the series. This is a biennial
sports event for masters athletes around the world to compete at the highest
level. This year, 2019, the championships was held in Torun, Poland, in March.
The 9th Championship would be held in Edmonton, Canada in 2021.
This
is a major international event that SMA is bidding to host in 2023. The main
characteristics of this Championships is that it would be held indoor, in
indoor stadium specifically built and designed for it with a 200m wooden
running track instead of the normal 400m synthetic track.
Presumably
this would be held in our Kallang Indoor Stadium, the stadium where most of the
international sports and live performances were held. The National Stadium would
be too big for such an event, I supposed, though not completely ruling this
out. Whichever, there would be some renovations needed to be done to get the
stadium ready for this prestigious event that every masters athletes would love
to compete in our home ground. I think it would cost about $20m to install the running tracks for this event. $20m is really peanuts compared to the amount spent on children's Olympic or the hundreds of millions on the F1 event.
This event
is akin to a senior Olympic level of athletic competition and Singapore would
be proud to be given a chance to host this event here. An indoor stadium would
make running and competing in our hellish equatorial heat a thing of the past
and the performance and results of the athletes would likely to be the best
ever. An indoor stadium, air conditioned, would be heaven on earth for the
athletes.
We
are looking forward to welcome this event in 2023 and with four years of
preparation to make this another statement for Singapore as a great destination
in a tropical paradise. With our great location, reputation and great management,
our bid should receive favourable consideration by the World Masters
Athletics(WMA) body.
The future of sinkieland is best illuminated by the waves of oldies and youngdies assiduous, relentless, single-minded pursue of pokemon all over the island with many using multiple phones, some seen with custom made portable hand held hand phone rack that can hold up to 5 hp sets, in the backdrop of the upcoming national day celebration, some with flags fluttering above their heads in a hot, humid but windy Saturday afternoon (3 Aug 2019). As the celebration of the 54th bd moves into higher gear, the waves of sinkies pursuing pokemon also gain momentum and grows from strength to strength. In this backdrop of fluttering flags and national songs played in the background, the SOLE concern of the multitude of Sinkies seem to be pokemon. The future of Sinkieland cannot be "brighter "? The "bright" future would be triple confirmed when people higher up such as "chiu kee " also join in such "productive activities " . This "bright " future is best captured when many sinkies even drive from point to point and "catching " pokemon along the way. It is amazing how driven many Sinkies are in such high "productive activities " as the 54th bd celebration mood builds up. It is very "apt" under such backdrop that seemingly the sole concern of many Sinkies is pokemon.
ReplyDeleteMee very old le and "outdated ", dunno what is pokemon or seowkeemon or tingtongmon. Dunno how to download or play such "very productive or in thing ".
In this ghost month, in the midst could be the old guards and they must be "very pleased " to witness such "decadence, decline and decay " unfolding particularly in the count down and backdrop of the 54th bd?

6-Part 54th BD Series ...
Why this 6-Part 54th BD Series?
DeleteMee no interest in going into politics per se. After some contemplation, reckoned this is the next best way to contribute to Sinkieland (before Ai leave this place for good eventually).
So in the past month, took a one month "Sabbatical" leave to a small island in the Pacific and meditate, think, reflect and wrote this 6-Part series of the 54 reasons/ observations of the rise and fall of nations.
For those who sacrifice their privacy or potential "fixing" and step forward to be counted, sinkies should salute them. They are the courageous cubs, lions and lionesses.
However, Mee no (like) cry (crocodile tears)...
Little bit little bit cry (wayang wayang, take people's daftness (and stupidity) for granted and think the 70+-yo and 80+-yo oldies all 3-year old taken in by all these wayang wayang choke back tears (talking about renewal and accountability. These type of topics need to tear or choke back tears meh? Old dogs cannot learn new tricks? Trying to emulate old man in 1965 and choke back tears? Want to Hsian Tao Sinkies and treat them like 3-yo? NahBeh... XXX!!!)
Mee no like wayang. Will only do what GENUINELY will benefit sinkies and future generations.
Thus took one month of "Sabbatical Leave" to write this 6-part 54th BD series (hopefully it will be of some use in helping to rejuvenate and reshape sinkieland and secure her future and those of sinkies).
Cheers
Happy 54th BD

Hahahahaha.
Do you think we have many PAP politicians and Ministers who are already Ah Pek and Ah Ma?
ReplyDeleteDo you think these PAP ah pek and ah ma will also participate this Masters Track and Field Championship?
They be at NTUC for the Pioneer and Merdeka rebates.
DeleteAlso certain Days have special concessions for admissions to Gardens of Aden and also cable cars rides.
Also buffets at selected eateries. Even.though they have stacked or parked their millions in banks and biscuits tins.
One Lau Goh also don't want to retire and have maybe $10.00 Heart bypass.
Balance on the house. Luckily he pass muster. Or else ahem, the SAF very busy. Have to practise more drills. Sat and Sundays burn.
Their Motto: What's wrong with having more monies.
Come 2023. Many of them with such good food and lives would be having gout and more sickness than the unkos and aunties collecting crockery with only one prata a day.
Some maybe already riding sponsored scooters by Mr Sam Tan of Radin Mas SMC. With Singapore Flags and Mottos on their scooters.Some maybe need many CCS to prop up when they are standing for Balek Kita.
Cheers
The rich Ah Peks and ah Mahs are participating in different kinds of races, collecting more money and indulging in buffet marathons.
