Singapore Badminton Open - Another accolade to a national team

20 June 2010 Sunday marked a new milestone for the shuttlers in Team Singapore. Yes! They have just been crowned champion in the women's doubles category.

Indonesia-born Shinta Mulia Sari and the China-born Yao Lei ended the Republic's 20-year wait for a local player to be crowned champion at the Singapore Open. What a feat. Both players have trained hard, and the win is deserving for them.

That being said, many Singaporeans still prefer the Singapore Badminton Association put in more effort to train local born and bred Singaporean shuttlers attained what these ex-foreigners achieved for Singapore. The glory for Singapore then will be more complete.

Well done girls!
