If they get another AStar scholarship for university ...this will be worth a few hundred thousands dollars as the scholarship cover first degree to Post-doc. The recipient gets to study in a top university, given a monthly allowance to cover books, food and board, annual flight home. After completion of first degree, recipient is required to take up sinkapore citizenship. After completion of Post-Doc, recipient serves Astar for 5 years.

Pretty good deal for someone from India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia etc.

How many hundred of millions of our tax dollars are spent on foreigners?

 

[kryonlight]

Vote wisely in 2016 before these Indians start to shit all over your heads.

 

[borom]

Another policy that needs to be analysed in details by the opposition in parliament -locals are having a hard time getting to Pre-University (as compared to Polytechnics) and government Universities locally while the pappy keep on dishing out scholarships to foreigners in huge numbers !

 

[kingrant]

This is really far too much. The more we dont want FTs the more the PAP govt wants to defy the popular will and bring them in. We have to bring the PAP to heel.

 

[frenchbriefs]

should we reserve a condo unit at east coast to make these scholars feel more at ease away from home in a strange land?after all its only right they belong in their natural enclave habitat.

 

[kingrant]

Best place I can think of is the Istana. There must be a lot of homestay offers in good class bungalows along Nassim rd, Linden drive, Dalvey estate... The Oxley rise mansion is a bit run down, but for Indians, they are used to slums back home anyway.

comeon guys they aren't chinese students they are indians.

I suspect that the PAP see them as future Spore citizens & are buying their votes in advance.

 

[ChaoPappyPoodle]

PAPzis are using taxpayer money to buy votes from Economic Refugees from India as well as to open up the Indian economy to GLCs. Singaporeans are getting double fucked. Vote wisely indeed. Having the PAPzis as the government is as bad as having a foreign country ruling over Singaporeans.

 

[Dragonhead]

This is certainly madness.

Why does the papee Govt spend millions of dollars to provide free education to foreigners? These are tax payers' money which should only be used to fund free education for only students born in sinkapoo to natives.

It is truly an injustice for papees to do this kind of thing to the people of sinkapoo. Elderly sinkies have to work to stay alive but they are not adequately supported. Now, we see millions of tax payers' money are spent on foreigners. The papees are too outrageous.

 

[Dragonhead]

Chinese students or Indian students, they are all foreigners. It is the duty of their own Govts to give them free education. It is not the duty of the Spore Govt to give them money to study in sinkapoo. No wonder sinkies are cursing LKY, LHL and their families.

Millions can be earned from GLCs. Directors earn millions. Temasek looks good on paper. All is fair game for the PAPzis.

You sure? What if they became shitizens and then betrayed sinkapoo? See Snowden, even an American could betray his own country.

If sinkies still support papees in GE2016, they are indeed daft, like LKY said.

 

[Dragonhead]

Vote wisely in 2016 before these Indians start to shit all over your heads.

They are already shitting and urinating in the side lanes all over Little India literally. The number of ah nehs in sinkapoo is indeed overwhelming. A small island and yet the pappes keep on letting in foreigners to suffocate the sinkies.

They have been screwing Sporeans for years & have taken the compliant citizenry for granted. Who knows maybe in the next GE, they may even return with a larger majority

Don't be surprise if they do some fixing here & there. If there is any hanky panky who do you think "their" judges will side with

 

[kingrant]

Waiting till GE2016 may be too late. We need a revolution to overthrow the govt. A beer putsch. Now.

Sorry hor ...it is HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS dollars to provide free education and free citizenship to foreigners.
