Notable Singaporean English debators, writers and news broadcasters Singapore is known as a debating powerhouse and is one of the most successful teams at the World Schools Debating Championships, often finishing as runner up and semi finalist in the competition. Singapore has also found...

You are just a rabid space monkey. NUS is ranked 30th in world under Times Universities ranking, NTU is ranked 73th. 30th rank is ivy league + russell group territory. If it is not good enough for a space monkey like you, stay in orbit. Amazing how you can even bs about a university producing a...

What a stupid argument. NTU and NUS are ranked top 80(?) in the real world but in your world they are not good enough for you. In the real world, numerous education surveys show that Singapore ranks number 1,2 in terms of math and science but in your world you think that other countries spend...

This is the first time I heard someone say that Hong Kongers speak better English than Singaporeans. Maybe it is about time you get your schizophrenia diagnosed.

This is another load of rubbish. The pronounciations in the UK are vastly different. In fact, they used to say that one British man cannot understand another British man when he opens his mouth. Juxtapose British accents such as "Broad scots", "Hiberno English", "Geordie" and "Welsh English"...

American is a nationality not a race. Americans of different races have different DNAs and culture; and hence, different physical appearances. Just an idiotic understatement. A German American looks different from an African American and a Chinese American. And a German American looks...

You might want to pull your head out of your ass. Most international surveys place Singapore's education in top 5. The Americans are trying to emulate Singapore's education system. Jim Rogers and many foreigners move to Singapore because of it has an excellent education system for their kids...

Why would anyone outside Australia want to learn an Australian accent? Australian accents are horribly grinding and unclear, especially the broad Australian accent. Unless you are going for received pronounciation, which 10% of Aussies, mostly ladies, speak. The educated Singaporean accent is...

Australia and Singapore are two very different countries, each with their own pros and cons. Lets not act like Australia is "heaven" because both countries are comparable, it just depends on what kind of lifestyle you are looking for. Aus vis a vis Singapore. Pros of Aus: more land...

No...they don't blur everyone's faces. I have seen another Dutch kid on the show that got jailed 6 years for trafficking drugs as well. He swallowed the drugs in his stomache and they did the swab thing and somehow managed to deduce that he was hiding drugs in his stomache :)

You are blatantly sprouting BS. The American military does not accept anyone without a green card or a H-1B visa etc. You need a green card or H-1B visa and need to have lived in the USA for at least 2 years to join the military. They will let you have your US citizenship a lot earlier if u...

This guy is totally illiterate plus brain damaged. He can't even speak a single sentence in English. Has this peice of trash even been to kindergarten?

Singaporeans in Australia, have you experienced any serious racism? Median income At the time of the 2006 Census, the median individual weekly income for the Singapore-born in Australia aged 15 years and over was $482, compared with $431 for all overseas-born and $488 for all Australia-born...

I was banned for "spam" for posting this thread when it is obviously not a spam. What a joke. Guess someone who belongs to the 55% group of sub secondary school education decided to show his lowlifeness eh yellow? Singapore has a very low literacy rate. This is quite evident from the...

Only the top 35% of households have 5k sgd or more income. The bottom 30% of households live on 2k sgd or less income!

Of all Singapore residents above 15 years old (who are not studying): 20% have totally zero education, not even PSLE!:eek: 80% have secondary school and below education!:eek: ~55% don't even have O levels cert!:eek: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_singapore...

the yankees also have a minimum wage.

MBBS or registered nurse or miillionaire or surnamed gates ... :rolleyes:

Ha ha, I am not as desperate as them.:D For me, it is mostly about working and living in another country for a few years to learn more. It is not about migrating permanently.

Maybe. But I am not into Chinese culture and literature much, so HK is probably not for me. It is not that I cannot decide. Just a combination of visa requirements, which I don't meet, and personal preferences. I am not as well placed as people like fishbuff with Masters in IT. Even...
