[h=2]Confirmed: Pap denying singaporean students university admissions[/h]
CONFIRMED: PAP DENYING SINGAPOREAN STUDENTS UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS
Responding to questions in a forum held by Singapore Management University(SMU), Education Minister Heng Swee Keat confirmed that the PAP government are denying Singaporean students a subsidized university place in the name of "economic vibrancy". Although he did not elaborate further the position of his Education Ministry, it is understood that the PAP government do not put the interests of Singaporean students first. Every year, the university places in the 3 public universities namely National University of Singapore(NUS), Nanyang Technological University(NTU) and SMU are oversubscribed 4 to 5 times and there is a regulation requiring that a minimum 20% of the places are to be specially reserved for Foreign Students.
Most foreign students in Singapore are overaged and hence gain an unfair advantage over their Singaporean peers, which in turn automatically having them taking top spots in PSLE and O levels every year. The PAP government also indiscriminately give out scholarships to China citizens and the rich elites in the name of Meritocracy. Foreign tertiary students are also known to be under-qualified as compared to the JC and Poly students. They do not take the same A level entry exams to universities and can even steal a Singaporean's spot when they can't even pass O level English.
Singaporean students who could not enroll into Singapore's public universities are not unqualified, in fact most are readily accepted into overseas universities in Australia or in local campuses. A business student usually have to pay 2 or 3 times the amount in private universities as compared to the public universities. Engineering students face a crunch in their pursuit of private tertiary education because most local campuses of private universities do not have sufficient facilities to provide a decent education, hence engineering degrees in private universities are rare and usually more expensive than business ones.
The PAP government have also silently acknowledged a WikiLeak report of a diplomat exchange between Singapore embassy and US that the PAP government does not want too many Singaporeans to be tertiary-educated.(In the similar WikiLeak report, the PAP have however rebuked a claim of Lee Kuan Yew calling Islam "a venomous religion", but not on the matter of open discrimination against Singaporean students.)
It is no wonder Singaporeans do not have a sense of belonging to the country with a selfish government like the PAP. Thousands leave the country for studies every year and the PAP bring in more foreigners from China, India and Philippines to replace them. PAP has even the cheek of calling any foreigner with a basic degree a "foreign talent" when they deny their local students from pursuing a tertiary education.
