It should be a requirement for foreign talent to know not only English, but Malay, Chinese and Tamil as well. Hokkien, Cantonese, Teochew, Arabic, Hindi, French, Japanese would be a bonus. They ARE talents, aren't they?

The people at all stat boards have KPI tunnel vision. Is it easier to lower standards to give the person a degree, or, improve teaching methods and learning environment to enlighten him?

They didn't say they were going to make it in the US, just nearer to US, like in Mexico for example.

If you've been to switzerland before, which I have, the one of the defining traits of their national culture is... silence. If you have been to one of their public libraries, or sat in one of their first class sections in their public transports, you will know what I mean. Our libraries in...

Oil will probably run out someday and get replaced by alternatives (fusion power, biodiesel). However, singapore's economy is driven by some other mechanism altogether. To provide an an analogy, we are the valve in the world's shipping and logistical network. Why do MNCs still come to us...

Yes, all yearn build a better future, but most importantly, where? In Singapore or back in China? If I was a PRC migrant who wished to return to China after I made my big bucks, would I care if Singapore ended up a radioactive wasteland? To those living in Singapore, should we care? To those...

Sure, I can explain. Just don't fall asleep from the wall of text~ I wonder if a teacher will dare to pose such questions during national education classes. Firstly, PRC nationals who come here don't come here under similar circumstances. Most of the second/third generation (I wouldn't...

It may cause problems in the long run, but our politicians here are only interested in quick but temporary fixes that causes more problems in the future.

Unfortunately, there is no party right now that has any transparent, coherent policy for Singapore's future. It's all about firefighting one crisis after another without attempting to solve the problem at the root. I think this work is better done at the NGO level, free from the party whip...

Its easy, vote for a party that will... 1. Stop using reserves to invest overseas. 2. Concentrate r+d in job areas where singaporeans don't want to do. 3. Put up a hefty levy for foreign workers.

Nobody can be 100% sure of anything. Even if you see it with your own eyes, your memory may not be infallible. (which is more that I can say for those religious nuts).

The easiest way to get the police to handle this is to claim that you suspect the maid stole some kitchen knives and was behaving erratically before running away (on drugs?). She might just randomly stab somebody. Does MOM think you can track her down? In any case, the rest of humanity has...

I prefer to be able to do work without having internet access to be a mandatory preqrequisite. In any case I want to be in control of my computer data and applications. Why give it up to some random company on the net, which can close shop, or worse, betray you because of government pressure?

Re: MUST READ: GLASSLUTS Leader FUCKS GARRMENT. Si Beh Song Ah...PorLumpars All Si Li Whatever happened to home schooling? If you want your kids to have the very best, that's the way to run things. Make the government support you while you tutor your kid to sec 4. Or would you rather PAP spend...

After meeting all those FTs whose standard of english simply cannot make it, don't you feel proud of yourself? The local universities here are good enough for basic instruction only. After you get your basic degree, don't waste anymore time there. Either get your own ass out to work, or if...

LKY is damn scared already. He knows his legacy will not survive him and all the dirty stuff will get dug up. Why do you think a*star is so much into life sciences? It's like the emperor spending billions of dollars for an elixir of life and getting conned in the process.

The whole place needs to be enclosed in a giant dome and aircon 24x7. The singapore zoo is also another theme park. Instead of hollywood characters, they feature animals. What's so special? In order to be number one, you got to innovate. Hey phillip yeo, can your billion dollar a*star phds...
