(Yesterday's) Spirit of Singapore

What spurred me to put together this short video were:

1. I find our YOG cheer song (that "OYeah" thinggy) lacks energy and motivation to strive.

2. The support for YOG is top down, with lots of astroturfing in the media, as 88% of the population are not interested.

让我心血来潮剪辑合成这视频的动力是：

1. 我认为我们青奥运的喝彩歌缺乏能量与动力。

2. 青奥会的支持是从上而下，有许多人造草皮的成分。 根据亚洲新闻频道（CNA)的网上投选显示， 有88%的国人对这次的青奥运缺乏兴趣。

The music track used in this video is the song "Moskau" released by a German group called "Genghiskan" in 1980, the year of the 1980 Moscow Olympics. It was used by a Austrialian TV station in their coverage of the said Olympics.

这视频所用的音乐是一首名为《莫斯科》 的歌曲，在1980年由一个德国团体"成吉思汗"所首发。 当年正值奥运会在 莫斯科举办，澳洲某电视台把这歌曲用于他们的奥运报道节目。

A China singer altered the lyrics and made it into a mandarin songs in their celebrations of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

当年（1980）香港的名填词郑国江先生为这首歌填上了广东话歌词，那就是林子祥演唱的《奥运在莫斯科》。

2008年为庆祝北京奥运，有中国歌手大张伟为这曲填上华文歌词，歌名为《奋斗》。

The video are made up of clips from the Malaysia Cup in the early 90s. In those days the support by Singaporean for our national football team is spontaneous, and from the ground up. Every seconds of what you see in the video reflects the genuine spirit of Singaporeans in supporting our national football team then.

这视频是由九十年代初大马金杯足球赛的片段剪辑而成。当时人们对国家足球队的支持与热忱是发自内心，由下而上的。视频中的每一秒，都真实的反映出当时新加坡人支持国家足球­队的精神。

wow! how u got those precious footage?

[AhHongRadio]

@moonlightaffairs - They can be found in in youtube, but only those in the 90s. Do a search of "Malaysia Cup" in youtube and you will see. I missed those in the 70s and 80s as well, the likes of Kim Song, Dollah Kassim, Mat Noh, Samad Allapitchey, Lee Bee Seng, Edmund Wee, etc.

how you know 88% not interested?

[AhHongRadio]

@gizmo120169 - It's according to the online poll on CNA website..

Ah, i was born in the wrong era. Foreign talents killed the Singapore spirit and no one cares about anything besides money making anymore.

It's sad how we no longer have national heroes, just mandated individuals and petty officials.

[ComeOnGuyz2009]

@popdjdysh

Singapore withdrew

[popdjdysh]

@gamechanix After so many years, why suddenly a dispute? that's the question to ask. Brunei never had major political issues with Malaysia.

[gamechanix]

@popdjdysh

Singapore withdrew from the competition following a dispute with the Football Association of Malaysia over gate receipts

Brunei won the cup in 1999 and continue to be involved

[popdjdysh]

@Legary We were kicked out of malaysia cup by malaysia after we finally won the cup, because 'we are technically not a malaysian states team'. If we never won, malaysia may not have bothered to kick us out, its a political issue. If S League is not created, singapore football team will technically have no one to play with.

@gizmo120169 then how many % you think support YOG apart from schoolchildren?
