Singapore rower Aisyah takes to crowd-funding to chase Olympic dream

Singaporean Saiyidah Aisyah rowing in the heats of the 2014 Asian Games women’s lightweight single sculls …
A few weeks ago, Saiyidah Aisyah tried to pay for her groceries by card as she usually does - only for the card to be declined.
That was when it dawned on the Singapore national rower how little was left of her savings, which she has been using to fund her quest to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
The incident finally spurred her to launch a crowd-funding campaign, which she had thought about after being approached by a few supporters who wanted to help by transferring her money.
In an email interview with Yahoo Singapore, Aisyah explained that the crowd-funding would be a “transparent” process, and she went ahead with the idea by setting up a page on MakeAChamp - a crowd-funding site for competitive sports.
“It was then that I realised I've been waiting for something to happen that might fund my dreams since August and nothing has happened, and that I have to start taking my own actions,” the Sydney-based athlete said.
Funding for Olympic quest
The 27-year-old, who won the nation’s first-ever individual rowing SEA Games gold in 2013, is attempting to secure qualification to the women’s single sculls event in Rio. To do that, she has to finish in the top seven at the Asia & Oceania Continental Qualification Regatta in Chungju, South Korea from 23 to 25 April. It is the region’s sole Olympic qualifying event.
Aisyah explained on the page how she has been funding her own journey to the regatta since August last year, but now needs support to continue her training because her savings are running low. Her aim is to raise AU$9,000 (about S$9,072), which will go towards expenses for nutrition, physiotherapy, gym sessions and transport leading up to her Korea trip. She approached some corporate sponsors, but was rejected.
“My competitors will be from all around Asia and Oceania, which is a lot of countries vying for those seven spots,” she said. “Only China has qualified and will not be at the qualification regatta. It is going to be hard but I will make sure I am prepared for that.”
Aisyah further elaborated in a Facebook post that she was informed last November she had been selected for the Race to Rio 2016 (R2R) programme, but has yet to receive any funding from it. According to a TODAY report in November 2015, the programme provides an enhanced budget for local athletes attempting to qualify for both the Olympics and Paralympics.
While there have been no further announcements since then, Yahoo Singapore understands that Sports Singapore will elaborate on the R2R 2016 programme in the coming weeks.

Believing in dreams
Aisyah has made it clear she is not pointing fingers. On the contrary, she is heartened by the amount of support that her campaign has garnered. With 20 days left to go, AU$4,605 has been raised - slightly more than half of the target.
“It's crazy how fast news spread in social media and how many people are supporting my dreams!” she said. “It feels good to know that even when I am alone here in Sydney, there are hundreds of people back at home cheering me on. It definitely motivates me to push even harder!”
She acknowledged that her rowing career has been “pretty hectic right from the start”, but believes her training for the regatta -– the most recent being a 10-day training camp in the Snowy Mountains – is going well.
“Like they say, the most important part is to enjoy the journey,” she mused. “So even when times are hard, I think about how lucky I am to be able to do this – living the dream, representing my nation.

“I've learnt a lot about persevering through whatever life throws at you to get to where I want to be.”
Like tennis player Sarah Pang – another local athlete who turned to crowd-funding to support her training – Aisyah hopes that people will support her because she is chasing a dream.
“I am a strong believer in the beauty of our goals and dreams and I hope that people support me because they believe that by helping me, they are giving hope to others as well,” she asserted. “And of course, people should support me because they believe in me.”

SHAMELESS FOR PAP GOVT TO TAKE CREDIT FOR SCHOOLING'S SUCCESS, THEY DID NOTHING



Some Facts about Joseph Schooling, you decide for yourself

Joseph Issac Schooling, born in SIngapore. Father is a 3rd generation Singaporean of mixed English and Eurasian Portuguese heritage. Mother is a Malaysian Chinese who is a singapore PR. She has been living in Singapore for decades but has not taken up Singapore citizenship.

Went to ACS Primary school. After PSLE, his swimming potential was identified by the parents, and they decided to send him to the Jacksonville, Florida to attend the Bolles School, which is a school specializing in training atheletes, in particular swimmers. Bolles has had a swimmer alumnus or student competing in every Olympic games since 1972. Their swimming program was set up by Gregg Troy who was the US Olympic Swim coach for the 2012 Olympic games. Imagine your secondary school swimming coach is a former Olympic swimmer and coached Michael Phelps in the 2012 Olympics!! What a powerhouse your school would be in the pool. because he is an international student, Bolles has a boarding program for its foreign students. The cost of one year of school fees and room and board is USD $47,000. Guess how much the PAP and SNOC contributed to this amount. Zero would be a fair guess.

After he graduated from Bolles, he was offered a swim scholarship at University of Texas, one of the top 5 swimming programs amongst US universities. The Head Coach for the U of T swimming program is Eddie Reese, former head coach of the US Olympics swim team in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. If you know anything about the swim program, you know that nothing is left to chance. Professional full-time dieticians, sports psychologist, strenght and conditioning coaches, multi million weight rooms, etc are all part and parcel of what atheletes get when they go there. But even on a scholarship, its not cheap, with frequent travel to Singapore to compete in the SEA and Asian games and other social visits. Also, out of pocket costs and other costs in USD is also not cheap.

It was at this point when the big hooha between Schooling's mother MINDEF took place over his deferment. After a protracted and public fight, where she used the news media to put pressure on the PAP, you know who won the fight. Unfortunately, in earlier times, without the aid of modern day internet and social media, many other atheletes were lost to NS and a short sighted govt. policy. The race driver Andrew Tang is an example of a failed request for NS deferment. Ang Peng Siong in an earlier time was another case.


So to sum it up.................

The Schoolings and not the govt paid huge money to send Joseph to Bolles for his swim coaching and studies
The Schoolings and not the govt got the U of T scholarship for Joseph, even though it seems the PAP is giving full scholarships to every tom dick and harry FT
The PAP wanted to sabotage the whole thing by making him do NS at such a critical junction in his swim career, and it would have happened if not for his mother's intervention.

The other Republic swimmer Quah Zheng Wen was not so fortunate that his family can send him to Bolles and hence is stuck with no name national coach carlos lopez, a bronze medallist in the Olympics and with the pathetic facilities in singapore. If Quah had the same opportunities, maybe we have 2 medals or more.

U decide how much credit the PAP should get. Then see how many of these assholes jump on the bandwagon until it breaks.

Some more Facts about Joseph Schooling, you decide for yourself Part 2

"I think it has to be said that as a nation, a people, a country, a govt., and as individuals, we did almost nothing to help Schooling get to the gold medal. We did not finance him, did not support him, the PAP chose not to groom and encourage this guy. Very little of our money went to training him, and providing him the necessary support, compared to the millions we lavish on 3rd class ungrateful atheletes from China and elsewhere. Not only did we not support him, we almost killed his career by making him do NS. When I say we, I mean the 70% of the morons that supported and elected the PAP. If his mother May did not fight MINDEF to get his deferment, he might still be in the SAF now doing NS.

There was no mass petition from singaporeans calling for his deferment. there was no mass calling of the MPs to support him. There was no media support for him, and certainly no support from the Singapore National Olympics Committeefor his deferment. Instead, 2 angmos (one was his swim coach in U of T, Gregg Troy) and the other a technical director, Bill Swetenham of SSC, wrote in their support to ask for his deferment. Not one PAP asshole or Notable sinkie stood up for this boy.

But now that he won the Gold, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon and be proud of him. I say that you don't have that right. Singaporeans have not earned the right to claim the limelight with him. Where were they when he needed them? Sinkies are really pathetic hypocrites. Although I am born and raised in singapore, I am ashamed of our treatment of this boy, and I certainly cannot rejoice without a hint of embarassment that we as a people almost kill this great moment."

Congrats Joseph Isaac Schooling! Everyone in Singapore is so excited and proud right now! I watched it at Singapore Swimming Association and everyone is cheering like crazy!

I'm glad I asked MINDEF to let elite male athletes defer their NS. Both you and Quah Zheng Wen have used the deferment wisely and done us proud.

她说的话是有记录的：

2012年3月6日

Er Dr Lee Bee Wah (Nee Soon): Mr Chairman, the National Sports scene in Singapore has come a long way. Back in the 1950s when local athletes started representing us in international and regional games, the numbers were few. Many of them were juggling a full-time job and their sport. Due to the lack of support from the Government, talents like Olympic weightlifter, Mr Tan Howe Liang, had to finance his training. There was no monetary reward for his Olympic feat.
Today, the landscape has changed. Top coaches are hired to nurture Team Singapore with the help of carefully planned training programmes, overseas enrichment stints, amongst others, expenses covered by the various grants and sponsorships. Clearly, the importance and acceptance of professional sport has shifted dramatically.
MCYS has done well with brilliant schemes that helped to unearth new talents and hone the abilities and achievements of Team Singapore. But we can do more to give young male athletes the opportunity when it presents itself. One hurdle they now face is to get deferment from National Service. To many athletes, taking two-year breaks is detrimental to an athlete’s career, especially when he is in his teens and at the upward climb of his performance. Two years of National Service is a very long break for just about anyone.
Little wonder that parents of our 16-year-old swimming prodigy Joseph Schooling are worrying about the impact of National Service on their son’s Olympic dream. A recent Sunday Times report entitled "Joseph’s a bit special, can we help him to be even more?" accurately sums up the problems of the inflexible stance towards National Service deferment. Joseph is so talented that national swim teams like the US, Australia and Malaysia are believed to be interested in poaching him. American colleges are also inviting him to join them. Should he decide to further his swimming career in other countries, Singapore will not only lose an excellent opportunity for an Olympic medal, but also a very talented young athlete. It will be a short-sighted policy on promoting sports. Certainly, the security of our nation transcends any number of Olympic medals, and everyone has a role to play in national defence, but there can be more flexible ways to achieve this.
I now remind the Minister of the proposals I brought up at last year’s Committee of Supply. National athletes should be allowed to defer their NS as long as they are below 30 years old, just like in Korea. If they achieve a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games or Asian Games, or a medal of any colour in the Olympics, they can be exempted from NS in gratitude for the honour they have bestowed on the country. Perhaps, just require them to do basic military training. Athletes who did not do so well will serve NS after their prime performance period or major games, thus ensuring that nobody escapes their rightful duty without having their opportunities denied. If they get a deferment, they still do NS but later. This means they will be discharged later also to go to university and to seek jobs.
Prodigies like Joseph Schooling in a small Singapore are like diamonds; coming along only once in a while, fading and disappearing if we do not treasure them. Let us do the wise thing and bring our National Sports scene to even greater heights. Currently, America has "Linsanity". Singapore will have "Josanity", or even more, if we tweak the National Service policy now for all our deserving elite athletes.

。
。
。

Er Dr Lee Bee Wah: Sir, I have two clarifications for Minister of State Lawrence Wong. First question is, how long NS deferment is MINDEF prepared to consider for Joseph Schooling? For male swimmers, I understand that they will peak at around 23, 24 years old, that is, by the 2020 Olympics. Second clarification: is MINDEF ready to recognise sports achievement in lieu of National Service, that means, exempt them if they obtain Olympic medals?

。
。
。

Er Dr Lee Bee Wah: Thank you, Sir. I would like to ask the Minister of State: why is the deferment for Joseph Schooling until 2014? If we were to help him to prepare for the Olympics, it should be based on the Olympic cycle. Why not until 2016 then?
