Badminton champion Loh Kean Yew weighed in on Singapore’s top athletes and the National Service requirement, in response to swimmer Joseph Schooling’s call for a national dialogue on the issue.
“National service is something that everyone needs to do. None of us are shying away from that. But we also need to manage expectations, the reality of it.
