  I think since he is minister of community development and sports (or something to that effect), he was talking about the table tennis spat between the STTA president and the chinese coach?

   

  Reported in the papers today about his views on this ongoing saga.

  Don't let a line call influence the outcome of the whole match.

   

  Provided your line call is not the last match point.

  Why the government is not stepping in to mediate?

   

  They are afraid that it will turn into a political issue with China.

  I think so too.

   

  Wait even the PRCs in singapore get angry if they screw this up more.

  Funny, they never mention the Lee Bee Wah equation at all. She is the key to the whole saga.

  Now then you noticed?

   

  From now onwards, I think her name will be left out when the mainstream media reports on this saga.
