I too, was wondering about why they omitted the details regarding of *how* he was "found" dead on the tracks, and at the last carriage too. How can a man be "found" to be dead underneath a train, just to be under the last carriage? It's kinda like saying, "Every day, 100 newborn babies are...

I'm going to have to side with you on this one, even though I myself am no driver.

It's tough to give someone a 2nd chance, especially over the Internet where many things come with a dubious nature. That being said, I wish you luck in finding someone who is willing to rent you one.

Yes of course I understand that after graduating with a PhD, the salary as a AP will be quite substantial. And I also understand that not everyone can enter a PhD program. But like I say, for some people it is very difficult to see the future 4-5 years down the road. If you do choose the...

Unfortunately, there will be people taking advantage of this who are not the rightful claimants to the excess fees charged. In those case, it will be a "fastest finger first" situation where the person who is fastest gets to claim all the fees. Don't ask me who would be so boliao to go and...

Only on the assumption that the passengers who took that route and were overcharged, will be taking the same route again (to be undercharged). Which wouldn't be very right...

I think he wrote it as a satire. It never did happen in that way.

Here's the link to check if you have been overcharged: http://www.publictransport.sg/publish/ptp/en/bus_service_distance.html As usual, they put in an obscure textbox for you to key in the service you *think* you took, instead of a list of bus services for you to browse. Who the hell...

OK this one is REALLY hardcore. I expect it will hit Stomp later today.

I would like to put a disclaimer that I have never been cheated by any PRC woman, all thanks to the knowledge/warnings I gained from reading these forums. :)

Well, a very simple explanation is that they need this differentiation to entice foreign research "talents" to uproot themselves from their countries to come over here to engage in research. As for whether they are capable or not, that is a separate issue... And btw, I don't really think...

Hi vamjok. The fees for post-graduate coursework does not differ much from undergraduate fees with government subsidy. You can check that out on the universities' websites. If you are a Singaporean, and you are eligible for post-graduate studies, you are usually eligible for the government...

You are wrong about this. Local PhD graduates graduate, but the local universities rarely hire them. The word here is "rarely". As I mentioned in my first post in this topic, local universities shun way from "in-breeding". They do not hire back the same PhD graduates whom they groomed...

I think it's funny to see how in *this case*, the entire charade of PAP-bashers have been brought down by the few of us. :)

The way you talk makes it sound as if there is a long queue of local students who want to enrol in PhD courses, but fail to meet this 2nd-Upper Honors requirement and are hence turned away from the door. This it not true, for reasons I explained in my previous post. Local universities have...

You are correct to say that for PhD course, a minimum requirement of 2nd-Upper Honors is usually required. This is what is written on paper. Truth is, there has been such a lack of PhD candidates in recent years that *some* (I cannot say for all, but some) faculties in local universities...

This seems to be the case, yes. There are many financial assistance schemes available for foreign students. I know for one that the university sometimes goes overseas for "talent" hunting and bring back interested foreign students and place them in our universities with a financial scheme. In...

I think you folks around here need to really be aware of what is happening, instead of blindly throwing accusations here. I am not sure of how many of you here with the unhappy sentiments have been to a local university, but the reason for why there is such a high number of foreign PhD...

Just put him on your ignore list. It works. I did it ever since a long time ago!

Another phrase is "double confirm". Also, "tuck *in* your shirt".
