Singapore - The drama continues to unfold for the CGS Tetra saga as an article is being printed in the home section of the Sunday Times today.
Apparently, Mr Wilson Chia aka Tetra is being offered a lifeline from CGS.
Quoted from the Sunday Times
"Word was that Mr Chia, 26, would be banned for life from the CGS. But he has been given a lifeline - the CGS might reconsider if he applies for reinstatement in the future."
Mr Andy Reif, the chief executive of the CGS also commented on the issue.
Quoted from the Sunday Times
"In a telephone interview from the United States, Mr Andy Reif, chief executive of the CGS said:" I don't know of any sport where a player hits his coach. You may dislike or disagree with your manager, but you do not resort to hitting him.".
Mr Chia was suspended indefinitely from the CGS, but Mr Reif said:" He can ask for reinstatement in the future and we will consider his case.". "
Another interesting development in the issue is when Mr Aaron Aw aka Phenic spoke to the Sunday Times.
Quoted from the Sunday Times
"Speaking to The Sunday Times, Mr Aw said he had remained silent so far he had to wait for CGS approval. He defended his decision to field his fiancee, saying that she was a member of the winning team last year.
He also said he had actually chosen Ms Yvette Ng, 27 - one of the three women trained by Mr Chia - to be the main player and Ms Chow as the reserve. But Ms Ng had work commitments although she could play the world finals.
Collaborating his story, Ms Ng said a deal was struck - she would be the reserve during the Pan-Asian leg but would take over from Ms Chow at the world finals."
This puts the matter in a different light all together, if what Mr Aw and Ms Chow said is true, then its really a case of miscommunication in the team that boiled down to such unhappiness. Although there could be some conspiracy theory taking place, IMHO.
Let's just hope that the matter will be resolved in the best way possible and everybody is happy. :)
