[h=2]NUS Vietnamese scholars bully local students and chased them away from soccer pitch which was earlier booked[/h]Posted by temasektimes on March 6, 2012
Not only are PRC MOE scholars like Sun Xu throwing their weight around in Singapore, Vietnamese scholars are bullying Singaporean students as well, as discovered by one irate NUS student who shared his experience on Facebook:
According to the local student, he had earlier booked the field to play soccer with a group of friends as required under NUS regulations. A group of Vietnamese students were already playing there.
When they were told gently that the field was booked, the Vietnamese scholars refused to leave and even went to complain to the security guard saying that they must be allowed to play because they are foreigners on scholarship in Singapore.
Another NUS student said he is not surprised by the behavior of these foreign scholars:
“They are all ‘yaya papaya’ because our beloved government went on its knees to sponsor them to study in NUS/NTU mah which gives them this stupid mentality that they are here to boost our university rankings and we cannot do without them.”
Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of Education & Ministry of Law Ms Sim Ann revealed recently in Parliament that the Singapore government spends some $36 million dollars on scholarships to over two thousand students each year, or about S$174,00 per scholar.
The government’s investment in foreign scholars has come under intense public scrutiny of late after a NUS PRC scholar Sun Xu sparked nationwide outrage with his now infamous remarks on there ‘being more dogs than humans in Singapore.’
