14Lucky Tan criticises the government's policy, saying it reflects a lack of faith in local talent:Nitsikera ny politikan'ny governemanta i Lucky Tan, niteny fa taratry ny tsy fananana finoana amin'ny talenta eto an-toerana io :
15When you import sporting talent just to win, you have given up on your own people and it represents the “cannot do” spirit …a confirmation that you don't believe in your own people and their talents.Raha ny handresena fotsiny ihany no hanafaranareo mpanao fanatanjahan-tena manan-talenta, dia manao tsinontsinona ny vahoakanareo ianareo sady maneho ny fisainana ” tsy mahavita” io… fanamafisana iray fa tsy mino ny vahoakanareo sy ny talentany ianareo.
16No surprise to me that the sports association that is most active in importing sporting talent to win is led by a PAP [ruling party] MP….it reflects the faith and confidence they have in our own people.Tsy mahagaga amiko raha ny fikambanana ara-panatanjahan-tena izay mavitrika kokoa amin'ny fanafarana mpanao fanatanjahan-tena manan-talenta mba handresy dia tantanan'ny PAP [antoko mitondra] MP…. taratry ny finoana sy ny fahatokiana izay ananany amin'ny vahoakantsika io.

19LIFT thinks that people should not blame Feng Tianwei for coming to Singapore:LIFT dia mihevitra fa tsy tokony hanakiana an'i Feng Tianwei tamin'ny nahatongavany any Singapore ny olona :
20Now Feng is not a banker, she is a table-tennis player.Tsy mpiasan'ny Banky i Feng , mpilalao tenisy ambony latabatra izy.
21There are not many people who can employ her - her potential employers are basically countries she can represent, compete for and win medals for.Tsy misy olona betsaka afaka hampiasa azy- ny mpampiasa azy dia ireo firenena soloiny tena, hifaninanany sy hakàny medaly.
22Whilst she is undoubtedly a highly skilled specialist in her field, her employment prospects are very limited compared to say a banker, an engineer or a teacher.Na dia tsy isalasalana aza fa manam-pahaizana sy kinga amin'io sehatra io izy, dia tena voafetra ny fahafahany miasa raha ampitahaina amin'ny hoe mpiasan'ny banky, injeniera na mpampianatra.
23By that token, Feng must've looked at the few options opened to her and she picked the best possible option: Singapore.Raha io aza no rasina, tsy maintsy nijery ireo safidy vitsivitsy nisokatra taminy i Feng ary nandray ny safidy tsara izy : Singapore.
24The Lycan Times says that although Feng Tianwei's achievement is impressive, it is difficult to feel pride because of an emotional disconnect:Ny Lycan Times dia milaza fa na dia mahavariana aza ny zava-bitan'i Feng Tianwei, sarotra ny hahatsapa rehareha noho ny fihetseham-po tsy ao :
25Beyond the politics, it was a personal achievement - one that her own hard work has paid off. I wouldn't deny I would have felt a lot more pride had a local-born Singaporean won.Ankoatry ny politika, dia fahombiazany manokana io - asa iray izay nahitàn'ny asa mafy nataony vokatra. Tsy laviko fa ho nirehareha kokoa aho raha teratany Singaporeana no nandresy.
26An old primary school classmate and I had a discussion separately on this matter, and one of things that came up during the discussion was that a lot of Singaporeans had no reason to feel pride in her win because they felt Feng does not represent us.Izaho sy namana fahiny tamin'ny kilasy ambaratonga voalohany iray no niady hevitra ny amin'io resaka io, ary ny zavatra iray nivoitra nandritra io resaka io dia maro ny Singaporeana no tsy nahita antony tokony hahatsapàna reharehana tamin'io fandreseny io ( Feng) satria tsapan'izy ireo fa tsy misolo tena azy ireo i Feng.
27He has a good point, and from a certain perspective I agree because I also felt Feng does not represent the Singapore that I grew up in - i.e. the Singapore where we have our emotional attachment as our place of birth.Manana ny lafitsarany izy, ary miombon-kevitra aminy aho amin'ny lafiny sasany satria tsapako koa fa Feng dia tsy misolo tena ny Singapore izay nahabe ahy - i.e. i Singapore izay iraiketan'ny fitiavanay noho izy toerana nahaterahanay.
28Above that, it is the Singapore that we grow up in it and one we felt grew up together with us.Ambonin'izany, io ilay Singapore izay hitomboanay ary ilay hany tsapanay fa niaraka lehibe taminay.
29When we feel proud of the person we grow up into, we also feel proud of Singapore.Raha mahatsapa fireharehana amin'ny olona izay nobeazinay tao izahay, dia mahatsapa fireharehana ho an'i Singapore ihany koa.
30Feng Tianwei, unfortunately, cannot and will never be able to represent that emotional Singapore - the one in our hearts is very different from the one we lived in.Mampalahelo, fa Feng Tianwei dia tsy afaka ary tsy hisolo tena an'izay Singapore mampihetsi-po izay mihitsy- tena samihafa amin'ilay ao am-ponay ilau iray onenanay.
31She represented a Singapore that we could no longer feel emotionally attached to.Nisolo tena Singapore iray izay tsy nanananay firaiketam-po intsony izy.
32Andrew Loh asks people to think about what makes a “true” Singaporean:Andrew Loh dia miangavy ny vahoaka mba hisaina ny amin'izay tena maha-Singaporeana “marina” :
33The criticisms flow fast and furious, and they are repeated ad nauseum each time someone who is seen as “not a true Singaporean” wins some accolades.Mihanaka haingana ny fanakianana sy ny hatezarana, ary mamerimberina ad nauseum izy ireny isaky ny misy olona izay raisina ho “tsy tena Singaporeana ” mahazo fihina fisaorana.
34While these sentiments are understandable because of our immigration policy, and others like the Foreign Talent Scheme (under which, incidentally, Feng was brought in), perhaps it would be best if we could move beyond launching diatribes against her and her colleagues, and ask ourselves a deeper, more meaningful question: what, really, makes a Singaporean?Raha azo saintsainina ireo fihetseham-po ireo noho ny politikantsika momba ny fifindra-monina, ary ny sasany toy ny tetikasa fikarohana mpanan-talenta vahiny ( izay, indrisy, mahatafiditra an'i Feng ), angamba tsaratsara kokoa raha mandeha lavidavitra kokoa noho ny fanaovana kiana mahery vaika an'i Feng sy ny namany isika, ary manontany tena lalina, fanontaniana manan-danja kokoa : inona, marina , no tena maha-Singaporeana ?
