  The former open field next to Blk 716 Bedok Reservoir Rd used to have neighbour kids playing soccer every evenings, shirted team against barebodied team.
  The field was then upgraded (?) and fenced up. Only proper teams with referees are allowed to play there.
  Of course, it was under utilised.
  Now it is converted into a carpark.
  
  How are we to going to get soccer greats like Fandi?
  Pele, Maradona started as bare footed footballers in their kampongs.
  Singapore as usual like to kill natural talent.
  Then tries to artifically manufacture talents.
  If she can't, then import talent.

  HAHAHAHA Good observation. I liked the way it was transformed into a carpark. Singapore only needs utilitarian spaces and spaces palatable to a contingent of angmohs coming to Singapore soon.
