Congratulatory Message from PM Lee Hsien Loong on Singapore winning the 50th World Team Table Tennis Championships

I am delighted that our table tennis players have done us proud. Congratulations to them, and to the coaches and supporting team who made this happen. I was at a post-golf game dinner at Orchid Country Club last night (30 May) , organised by the PAP Town Councils. We managed to catch a little bit of the last game on TV before dinner. At dinner we tracked the game almost point by point. Lee Bee Wah was there, receiving regular updates by SMS. When we heard that our team had won, she went up on stage to interrupt the proceedings and announce the good news. As you can imagine, the audience cheered, and drank more than one yam seng to our team.
