A shame...Tell us why we're not part of the flame run

Why must S'poreans travel to Kuala Lumpur to welcome the Olympic torch? Is there a reason why the torch is bypassing S'pore to Indonesia? -ST

I AM very proud that Singapore has achieved much and were chosen to host the Youth Olympics. But sadly, Singaporeans must travel to Kuala Lumpur to welcome the Olympic torch.

What a shame. Can the Singapore National Olympic Council explain why the torch is travelling from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and on to Indonesia, bypassing Singapore?
