Almost 8 in 10 not proud of medal won by foreign import: Poll

Yahoo! News Singapore, 2 Aug 2012

77 per cent of respondents who took part in a recent Yahoo! poll said they would not be proud if a foreign import wins an Olympic medal of Singapore.
On Tuesday, we asked “Would you feel proud if a foreign import wins an Olympic medal for Singapore?”, and respondents had to choose either a “yes” or “no”.
The three-day poll, which ended on Thursday, saw 77 per cent of the 17,227 respondents who took part chose “No”.
Yahoo! user Frustrated said in a comment on this story, “Nothing against her, she performed well and deserves all the recognition and applause. But no applause to the “buyer” of medals! Singapore should buy all the Olympics medallists with its huge national reserves. Or better still, set up a factory and manufacture the medals.” Full story
