Football: FAS 'surprised' by MCCY position on Goal 2034, says project 'must be goal' of all stakeholders if it is to succeed

SINGAPORE - The Football Association of Singapore has expressed its surprise at a statement made by Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth Senior Parliamentary Secretary Baey Yam Keng in Parliament about the government's position on the former's plan to have a team qualify for the World Cup in 2034.

On Friday , Mr Baey had told the House during a debate on his ministry's budget that while the role of the government is to support national sports associations like the FAS, he added:"Goal 2034 is a goal set by FAS. It's not a goal set by the Government."Enjoy unlimited access to ST's best work Subscribe Now

Typical govt attitude. It's a GOAL, so when FAS fails the govt ll be blamed as well. To get govt support, FAS shud frame it as a VISION (aspiration), i.e. give a convenient excuse for failure.
