I thought my sister was pulling my leg. But, no. It's true.
From Channel News Asia's website:
First Tree Climbing Championship attracts over 20 participants
SINGAPORE: It was literally a race to the top when over 20 participants took part in Singapore's first tree climbing competition.
It took place in Dhoby Ghaut and using a rope and saddle, the climbers were seen pulling themselves up skilfully.
The participants are judged on their footwork and poise and are also awarded points each time they reach a new target.
The competition was divided into three categories - men, women and foreign workers. ... http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/299854/1/.html

oh dun look down on foreign workers... i bet dey may be much more skillful den d locals... ya i caught d news too.. agaknye da takde bende laen lagi nak panjat.. coz spore nie kan limited.. hehehhehe
but, why are foreign workers in a separate category? why couldn't they simply be together with men or women? it's like they are another category of humans. i find it so unbelievable that a competition is divided in such a way.
oh ya hor! why eh.. abit unfair eh.... maybe pple like us singaporeans.. look down on dem... not me...
haha, i don't think it's like that lah nad. they create a separate category for them coz singaporean's surely cannot compete with them one! chances are, they have better climbing skills :)
bukan look down, but 'look up' lah tu :)))
ya hor! Maybe cheaper rewards?
anne - you are soooo positive. stll it's not fair, right? if they are good, shouldn't they win either the men or women's category?
rohana - dunno what the prizes are. anyway, if an angmoh expat drawing a salary of $20k/month want to join the competition, would he also be in the foreign workers category?
in any case, i wonder which category an angmoh expat will be in.
