City state: Hong Kong vs Singapore in the Olympics.





ALTHOUGH SINGAPORE HAVE MORE REASON TO BE PROUD...

However if we look at the overal ranking from every sport. Local HK born and purebred atheletes out performed local/purebred Singaporean.

If we look at the ranking of overrall medals.


Hong Kong had won 1, Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
Singapore had won 1 Gold , 2 Silver , 2 Bronze


However...... all medals won by Hong Kong were by pureblood locals. While in Singapore, the Gold and Bronze were won by foreign talents from China and a Malaysian Chinese Eurasian born from Singapore but trained in America. The only true medal for Singapore was one Silver.


Don't get me wrong.

I'm so proud of Joseph Schooling. I'm proud to have him as a Singaporean born however this is true he cannot represent 99.5% of Singaporean population who are not Eurasian-Chinese. Not to menton he is 63% Malaysian-Chinese and 37% White.


Singapore population

75% Chinese
13.3% Malay
9.1% Indian
3.2% Others ( Chinese Eurasian forms only 0.5% )
