Can Susilo make it?

Was thinking this qn when i saw Susilo who is also table tennis queen Li jiawei's stead won the competition today against the German. ha.. If he wins a medal, will it really be a Singaporean one or a one that comes from the place where Megawati is still ruling. He speaks with a strong Suharto's essence, with his tougue rolling. Yes, he has pledged his alliegence to Singapore, and i have no doubt abt that. He had also trained under the Singapore flag but his roots are still in Indonesia. He is after all the first generation migrated from our close neighbour. One would start contemplating if he really wins in the Olympic.

As a Singaporean, i also wish him all the best. i would like to see our flag flying high in the podium where the whole world can see. Singapore won her first medal in 1960, which is like wat the media say VERY LONG time ago. I recognised him as a Singaporean, and thank him for bringing honour to the country if he wins. But there is still abit of yi han.. now new migrants like Helen Chong, Li Jiawei etc might start to protest and say hey i am doing a job for Singapore and u pple are commenting so much. I admit that you are trying hard to gain recognition but we are also trying our best to accept you. I mean we cannot just get a new migrant, who will win a competition or some impt business deal and then declared them tat they are OUR people. People tongues might wag and hint to them that we have no talents but to bring in other talented pple and placed them under our contingent. Strange rite? maybe it is not strange or i over-reacted. Anyway, all the best Susilo! Dun make the same mistake as Jing Junhong who was already there but got kicked out at the very last moment!!!!
