PAP MP highlights recruitment of table tennis foreign talents in schools
The issue of foreign talents was raised by Member of Parliament Ms Grace Fu yesterday at the People’s Action Party (PAP) conference.
According to a report in Today, the MP was informed by the table tennis coach in her son’s school that players “who are one or two years older than their peers – and well trained in China – are being recruited just before competition by some schools.”

She said: “They beat our boys easily and demoralised our boys and their coaches in the process. While it's important that our children realise that a strong opponent will make them stronger, perhaps we should moderate the rules so that our children will feel that they're given a fair chance of winning," said Ms Fu.
