Fandi ahmad's sons to play for singapore? ---> READ MORE

long time no see man, tt fandi. i remember tt before daddy moved out, we used to watch soccer on tv during the malaysia cup. primary 1 or 2 or something? i recall standing in front of the tv and imitating the crowd shouting "referee kayu! referee kayu!" hah. i thought nazri nasir was the most handsome of the lot (lim tong hai came quite close but this was the time in my life when i was particularly attracted to the likes of lorenzo lamas and rick price... so lim tong hai's short hair put him out of tt league). zehzeh liked abbas saad. and then there was sundram moorthy (sp?) whom was later kicked out for bribery or something.. was there an abdul malik or something like tt? also had long hair if i remember correctly. such exciting times. so anyway, i really hope fandi comes back to help boost the morale of local footballers. it'd be really nice if he could advocate giving more opportunities for local players (as opposed to bringing in B-grade foreign talent). then again, he's probably already tried and met with negative responses. i understand if his kids choose not to be sporeans (and/or represent spore) only because of ns... it makes perfect sense; i know so many pple who've sustained longterm injuries while serving ns and i'm pretty sure tt's the kind of thing an aspiring footballer would want to avoid at all costs, especially while they're still at their peak. it's a pity the gahmen feels tt the only way to serve your country is to do ns right after you're done with school. why can't they wait for sportsman or musicians to be done with establishing their careers before calling them to come back and serve even if they might not be able to do the same thing as their compatriots cos they start ns so late, they could contribute by providing physical training workshops or enrichment workshops for the nsmen wat... i mean, look at the pple in saf's MDC. they also sing and dance their 2 yrs away wat. why not let musicians go and train till damn zai and then come back and do their 2 yrs as a mentor or trainer with mdc. is tt not called service too? and professional sportspple could do the same.. come back and train our nsboys in swimming etc. why wouldn't you want an army trained by our country's best?

i hope they wake up their idea before we lose more talent.
