Mparader Goh Chok Tong spoke at Chiam See Tong Sports Fund gala dinner and talked about the 2034 world cup qualifying goal made by Football Association of Singapore (FAS) vice-president Edwin Tong. Lau Goh called the goal a foolish one. He said to the audience:
My colleague Edwin Tong is foolish enough to set a goal for Singapore to qualify for the World Cup 2034. But that's the spirit, you must have something in mind and even if you don't qualify, the standard will be raised. Good luck to you, Edwin.
This same man was behind the Goal 2010. When he was prime minister, Lau Goh aimed for us to get qualified for the world cup in 2010. At the end of the speech, he mentioned that he feels that we will not be able to attain that goal, however, he will still support team Singapore to qualify for it. How magnanimous of him. Ownself fail already still laugh at people.
