My name is Alex Liang, I am a form...Dear Mr Nair, <br /><br />My name is Alex Liang, I am a former national champion gymnast from Singapore (1993, 1996, 1997 national champion, national team member from 1992 - 1997) and part of the wider Singapore Gymnastics family who have supported Heem Wei all the way to the Olympics. <br /><br />Both my sister and I know Heem Wei and her family and can confirm that they are 100% Singapore and not, as you have alleged without a shred of evidence, a communist PRC. Yes whilst her coaches may be from China, she is in fact born in Singapore as are her parents. <br /><br />May I reassure you that I despise and hate the PAP so very much that I have despaired entirely and have emigrated. I now hold a British passport - I reside in London and have worked all over, I also have a blog which is extremely critical of the Singaporean system, pretty much from the point of view not so much of a dissident, but one who has chosen to reject the PAP's system. OK? I hate hate hate hate the PAP so much, I hate the regime, I hate all the PAP people and their cronies so much - can we get that out of the way please. <br /><br />But please - leave Heem Wei and her family out of this. You only discredit your stance by making rookie mistakes like that.Limpeh Foreign Talenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608910232359247437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-31133021194474606012012-03-31T14:05:13.327-07:002012-03-31T14:05:13.327-07:00To Anonymous,
I have posted your comment particula...To Anonymous,<br />I have posted your comment particulary to point out that it is you and your regime which you try so hard to defend that has lost it. <br /><br />It may well be true, I do not know, that there is this one sole individual a native Singaporean who has somehow managed to become a real sportswoman. <br /><br />But this does not detract from the fact what we all know anyway. Singapore does not and will not have any local sportsmen or women and all they can do, in order to paint a picutre that they are somehow a sporting country, is to continue paying millions of taxpaers money to busloads of merceneray Chinese looking sportsmen from Communist China to don Singapore uniforms and play in interantional meets. <br /><br />Every single table tennis player and swimmer or anyone else for that maater are all Mainland Chinese oppurtunists who do this for money. You know it as well as I and every Singaporean does. <br /><br />And your comment in trying to fool the world by your nonsense with your state controlled press with their lies, is not helping you at all. <br /><br />In a fear ridden society such as Singapore where your Lee Kuan Yew struts around like a prize rooster, you are not going to have any sportsmen. They are afraid to do anything.Gopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-33895576926561904852012-03-31T10:34:20.165-07:002012-03-31T10:34:20.165-07:00Greetings Sir,

However, as much as I agree with you to a certain extent that Singapore is politically not altogether there yet, Lim Heem Wei is actually a dear friend of mine whom I have trained alongside since we were 9.<br /><br />Being a national gymnast myself, I've known Wei for almost two decades now, I really don't think there's any chance of her having been imported from some part of China. Unless you deem us so, simply because our ancestors somewhere down the family tree line was from China or simply because she was from the Singapore Chinese Girls School.<br /><br />Do hope you do some serious research work before you make such claims. Otherwise I think you will lose your credibility on all the articles that you have posted all these while. Unless for any reason, you have indeed did your research work thoroughly and I don't know Wei well enough. I apologies if I've offended you in any manner. <br /><br />It's just that this time round, I find this article somewhat baseless and I'm pretty sure everyone who know Heem Wei personally will agree with me. Do think through. Cheers.<br /><br />WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
