    Didn’t MHA promise to tighten up on security after a high profile series of embarassing fiascos starting with mas selamat kestari’s escape from the Whitley Road Detention Center? So HOW ON EARTH could this even happen? Surely the syogoc must have a list of names of the Ghanaian contingent members making the trip to Singapore? In that case how did these two guys get in? Shouldn’t the syogoc committee members meeting them at the airport know that they shouldn’t even be here? Imagine what could have happened if they were actually Al-Qaeda terrorists?

    For all the miw supporters here who keep complaining that we anti-yog critics are sliming the volunteers, WAKE UP will you? We are NOT sliming the hard working local volunteers you STUPID IDIOTS, we are demanding ACCOUNTABILITY for all the endless blunders and spiralling costs of this increasingly farcical debacle.

    How lucky we are to attract people as far as Ghana! Unfortunately the place too far so got only 2 swimmers.
    Actually PAP grovelmen are working very hard to make Sinkapoor into a international “SportsHub” but not lucky lor,instead we become international “SpoofsHub”now all over the world!
    Also PAP need 6 million population so must attract any Tom Dick or Harry to make up the numbers mah.Then next time sell (or resell tickets can make double profits for Termasick mah).Then of course all these ministers and MPs must get salary increase lor!
