This is just another example why our
local breed of young talents cannot excel in sports or football. More so for
male citizens.
Our policies and systems just do not
provide the means and conditions to groom and nurture them. You have to pay all
taxes and fulfill all your national services before you could chase your
‘rainbow’ and aspirations.
It’s sad to tell the truth, we are not
doing what Japan or South Korean is doing to keep
qualifying for the world cup. We can never, never catch up with them. Our
country’s FIFA-ranking has since dropped from 106 (1998) to 169 (2018). Are we
improving or deteriorating? Data and statistics don’t lie. Just accept this
fact.
Despites all these unfavourable
conditions, a few male athletes had managed to achieve some glory who have
wealthy parents or strong connections to those powerful people in this country.
Since 1998, policy-makers had change
immigration policies and rolled out the quick-fix ‘foreign-talent programme’ to
convert foreign sportsmen and women into citizens to bring in the medals in
individual sports. But can you convert a dozen foreign professional footballers
to wear our national jerseys?
Can we afford their fees to attract their
attention in the first place?
Fat hope!
Keep dreaming, my friend.
