		<description><![CDATA[1 sentence - different era 

It is impossible to compare so saying which era is better is also impossible 

1 thing I note abt Micheal Ang previous letter (a long time ago) which he claimed a centralised era work in the past better.

Like then &amp; now, he failed to note tht during those 60-80s there was 1 common theme abt NT in Asia.

There are all centralised &amp; that in way limit other Asian teams to Spore weakness by having only a small pool to work with.

Indeed Hiddink when he took over Korea (by then it was nearly late 1990s) he was shocked such a system was still ard as there was a Korean player who play nearly over 100 times (official &amp; non-official) games for NT but less than 50 for his club  

He broke it up &amp; we can see Korea move to the next level &amp; S. Arabia who has failed to make it to WC Final Group for the first time since 1980s is a victim for nt breaking up their centralised system as their players are still centralised among their royal clubs (Those owned by the princes) 

A different era which need a new approach.

But I do nt think S-league will get much help from the present FAS president as he rather spend $ in the purist of his political goals than help Spore football

Lee admitted that having more financial muscle is helpful but is adamant that Singapore will look at ways to overcome the lack of it.

&quot;Unlike other FAs, we have a limited budget and must always exercise financial prudence in everything we do. For example, instead of sending our youth teams for overseas training stints, we will arrange for them to play against older teams here first,&quot; he said.

No $ then why are we spending millions to FAM develop their players

		<description><![CDATA[stumbled upon this while browsing through the internet on the Sports Hub development and am glad I spent the last 5 mins reading this, especially the passionate post by Gideon. some of my best memories as a kid was spent at the Grand Old Dame catching the Malaysia Cup matches with my dad, before the divorce and his passing just over 2 years ago.

it&#039;s true that the passion for the national team died with the demolition but i see encouraging signs for it&#039;s revival now that we&#039;re back in the Malaysian Cup, which will blossom further for sure once the new National Stadium is developed.

let&#039;s not forget the great memories of the past, and continue to be optimistic for the future. we will all revel in the Kallang Roar again very soon.]]></description>
