ATB auntie mocks Dumbfark Sinkie Chabor over Pappie free scholarship to Foreign Talent instead of Pappie-voting Sinkies!

[Wayne Piew]

When I went to NUS, my friends who didn't get at least B3 in GP had to take an English bridging module, and have to keep retaking it until they have passed it in order to graduate.

A girl friend had 2As 2Bs but failed GP wasn't even allowed to apply for local uni.

So my question is this, why are we giving free scholarship plus living expenses allowance to students particularly from china, despite their brilliant results, when they can't speak a smattering of English? I welcome competition yes, but let's compete on fair ground.

I don't expect government to give us priority but here they are obviously shortchanging its own people. Other universities take in foreign students not only because of grades but may also be due to higher school fees. In SG, foreigners come study free and go home.

I was on a long flight home from USA one day, stop over in HK, a china auntie got on next to me. She couldn't fill up her immigration form. So I helped her. I asked her what's address at destination (SG) she said NTU. Her daughter was given a scholarship to study here. She asked me bluntly, "your country so small, not even the size of a China city, what if my daughter cannot find job? I wanted her go USA study, but Singapore offer free scholarship, plus easier for me to travel and visit her. I think after she graduate I will tell her go USA to work."

I almost tore up the immigration sheet.
I wish our government will grow a heart, two ears and two eyes.
What I said are all true stories, and I am not xenophobic, I welcome competition and foreigners, I just don't want to be given a wooden stick to fight when others are given swords and shields and I still kena called incompetent for not winning!

Problem is, without free scholarship and living allowance, foreigners will not come to Singapore.

It is done fairly ???

So much unhappiness on the ground and yet 70% voted for this govt-sometimes fact is stranger than fiction or is it ?
History has shown that no govt stays in power forever, but I hope than when there is a change, it comes peacefully .
The longer the PAP tries unfairly to stay in power, the more difficult the transition and the more the suffering.
History will definitely judge these bunch of greedy and self serving people .
