The greatest of all time.

Singaporeans from all walks of life, who recognise people who have thick skin, have come out to congratulate PAP MP Lee Bee Wah.

This after Lee said she is glad she asked MINDEF to let elite male athletes defer their National Service obligation and as a result, Singapore now has an Olympic Gold medal.

One Singaporean, Gan En, said she is eternally grateful to Lee Bee Wah for putting Singapore on the map of greatness: “What would we do without Lee Bee Wah’s contribution?”

“We will still be a country that is known to be part of China because that is where all our table tennis players are from.”

Other locals praised Lee Bee Wah for her hard work and said she would no doubt win another Olympic Gold medal in four years’ time in Tokyo.

Another local, Gong Jiao Wei said: “She will next win all the Gold medals in the Olympics single-handedly by competing in all events.”

“Including table tennis, her pet event.”
