hei, why hasn’t LBH step down. Making other people a scapegoat for all the trouble, mess she has created.

In other countries, heads would have rolled especially from the over top, which is the President.

I can’t image anyone coming up with the idea of asking Lee Jia Wei to either have BABY NOW OR TILL 2010. THAT IS ABSURD AND UNREASONABLE.

wELL, I GUESS LEE AGREED BECAUSE SHE WAS EXPECTING, OTHERWISE anyone in a sound mind would not have agreed to such a ridiculous and unaccpetable proposal or should i put it utimatium.

It does not matter anymore. The golden age of table tennis in Singapore is over. The China gals who came here and worked so hard for years to get a medal, have done their part, and really, they and everyone around them know the GOLD belongs to CHINA only. today and in the future. The people with the “Olympic experience” are getting married, having babies and smiling already – their fight is over.

Please, let’s not fool ourselves. Even for the YOG, asa host, our target is ONLY 5 medals ha ha ha ha ha. what a joke, and most SIngaporeans are not even in the excietd mood about the YOG.

2012? go there and enjoy London. Or prepare all the full-proof excuses early, because it is clear we are finished. There is no fire left.

LBW – another spolit PAP doggy that will misbehave because of the so-called clout around her. i don’t know and don’t care about her anymore.

Lee Bee Wah’s arrogance, her high-handedness, her complete lack of fiancé and diplomacy in dealing with matters brings a bad name to women and to table-tennis.

As Singapore matures, such imperious, high-handed and despicable conduct/ remarks, will no longer be tolerated and there is bound to be back-lash.

Any lack of integrity and professionalism, is on her part and not Liu’s! Her initial unhappiness has degenerated to personal vendetta. In the face of such personal, emotional attacks, I support the call for her resignation. She should step down graciously because she has showed no graciousness nor acknowledgement to Liu from being instrumental in bring the silver medal home after 2 decades of drought.

Yes, agreed with doc, LBW should just go. She never learn and watch what she says. Yeh. NOT PROFESSIONAL IN WHAT SHE HAD DONE.

LBW should just go. It will be healthier for the progression of the sporting life here. She is an anachronism and her continual presence will degrade not only the STTA, but the status of professional sports in Singapore. We need dynamic management, not people who are petty and dictatorial. she should just retire peacefully to her MP job. Give it up, LBW. You are not there yet in people management or professionalism. And get your face out of the tv cameras! It really is irritating to see the face that spews such venom at your subordinates.

Whatever mistakes LBW did will only lead to further drop in the vote count in the next GE for the PAP, simple as that, so let it be.

Liu was originally invited to end Singapore’s medal drought. This was the only reason why he came to Singapore and, he really did it in Beijing Olympics. Therefore, Lee Bee Wah’s argument on integrity and professionalism are entirely nonsense, at least inferior to what STTA team had achieved in Beijing. What is STTA’s most important job? Surely Olympics medals. If a coach has a good connection with Lee Bee Wah, both publicly and privately, as well as with players, but fails to win big event medals, I wonder if Lee B W will nominate him/her. Let Jing Jun-hong take this test by Lee B W now. Bear in mind that a coach must be strong enough, just look at Sir Alex Ferguson and his football team. A good coach behaves like an wild and shrewd wolf, not a mild and blind sheep. As a matter of fact, after Liu returned to China, he helped a table tennis club be among the top 3 in China, within a rather short time. His coaching capability is beyond the question. Lee Bee Wah should step down as she knows little about SPORTS! STTA’s 2012 London’s goal never turns so gloomy under the manipulation of LEE B W.

The problem basically is that most sports associations are headed by MPs,Why must this be so? Its because of this that any issue that crops up become politicised! Maybe a good start is to appoint non political figures to head any sports association otherwise you can expect more of such irrational decision making and foul up.

I remember when the debacle ended, the coach was offered a similar job but with reduced pay. Of course he did not accept as he rightly said he made no mistake. He has to make a decision there and then when another coach was ill.and he rightly chose to be with the female players. Any right thinking person would have done the same- the reason is so obvious!

If the STTA has offered the job to LIU, how come he was branded, unprofessional, lack of integrity and support from the players now?. If this was so, why did STTA offered him the job in the first place with reduced pay? I feel honesty is the best policy otherwise one will be caught with the pants down!

Singapore has thrived and prospered because we believe in meritocracy, integrity and HONESTY. So it is best for STTA and all other sports associations to be open and have a clear conscience of all its actions and decisions.

Firstly, Lee Bee Wah doesn’t have the right to make so much noise as she can’t even play tabble tennis!
Also, Coach Liu did the right thing by nt following that Gao Ning– because Gao Ning can’t even get close to any medal. He just doesn’t have IT! Quite loserish yea!
Coach Liu said he would get a medal for Singapore, he did his part! What’s all this about being fair? It’s Lee Bee Wah who is just trying to test her powers.
Probably one day that Lee Bee Wah will see the real justice, hope she would have no more powers!!!
MUHAHAHAHAHAH!

As a TT fan, I am indeed concern of its recent decline of TT achievements as results are beginning to show.
The injustice done to ex-head coach Li as per current newspaper reports shows the lack of common courtesy and professionalism in the STTA officials hiding behind a “COMMITTEE” in all its decision.

Lbw staying in AMK GRC will definitely hurt LHL so i dun think he so kamgong to keep her (she also not Lily Neo, so chio bu…..).
i think LHL see Lbw now also want to torsai (vomit la) becos so many people must kio her sai……

Even if there are no more comments, it will not mean that we accept your so called apology.
I had been celebrating since I found out the result of the semi-finals match that lbw may have been waiting to have credit for. (that’s exactly what lbw immediately shows – flexing the fats) My first exclamation is hooray! Finals go to C v C. (expected).
Congratulations to the gold medalists. Want to know why we are so happy – because otherwise, credit will go to pansai. Irregardless, winners are still….. not you, kanasai, I go pansai, ugochiasai. Credits to the players from…..
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOLD MEDALISTS!

I just checked on ST discussion forum, you can still get it by clicking on Sports and the threads : “Why now? ask officials” currently stands at 23,800+ visits and 571 comments made. which I think is a high.
But by keeping it out of main sight, they does hope that thread will not be searched and viewed and commented. So, it may cause further distancing of reader on ST subjects.

Yet, agreeing with Parket(#220), ST have its way of classifying things. The above thread which was most vistied and commented was not highlighted in their front page, but we need to dig them out by earnest readers. Wonder what they means by most visited and most commented then????

Hope TOC can assess this thread here better to keep interests on this incident. Lest we forget what STTA will be down the revamp.

ST Forum (print) has this way of letting people ‘complain’, allows the authorities to ‘explain’, and then cuts off the complainant, as if the complainant had nothing to say or guilty as charged.

There are also instances where ST Forum Online postings are rejected, without any given reasons (context filtering, whatever).

This is why the control of media is important for the authorities.

Online blogs are very powerful and scary to people in politics. I would not be surprise if LBW begins to have other fallouts. Better that, than to take down the entire GRC (along with the PM).
