I wouldn't pass judgement on people so fast without knowing their rationale for making certain decisions.daisyt wrote:spikey wrote: ... BTW markfch, Fandi is thinking of adopting South African citizenship for his two kids so that they can play for South Africa, not Singapore.

Really? That is disappointing ....
For a soccer player and indeed for many sports, the youthful years are crucial for development to their full potential.
Fandi didn't have an option when his time came to serve NS.
He dutifully served but lost the opportunity to further himself in Europe.
His sons have an option.
They are good in playing soccer. That will likely be their break in life if they are not academically inclined.
If you are a responsible parent and face with these choices for your kids, would you not consider the options?
