Let’s Think About #1
The PAP through its TV arm Mediacorp have filmed a series of propaganda features disguised as current affairs programmes known as “Let’s Think About It”.
So taking our cue from them, we are going to run our own series of “Let’s Think About It”.
For our debut post, we want to touch on the issue of fake and dubious foreign degrees.
Early this month, The Workers’ Party MP Png Eng Huat had asked in Parliament if the Government would consider setting up a central agency to screen foreign degrees given the proliferation of qualifications and degree courses.
This was a valid question considering the ultra liberal attitude of the PAP towards what it calls “foreign talents” as evidenced by the discovery that many of our statutory boards gave started to get into the act of hiring foreigners.
In his reply to Png Eng Huat, PAP MP and Deputy PM Teo Chee Hean said that the idea was not practical.
Deviating from the issue, he said that when public service agencies hire, they do not just look at academic qualifications but also “factors such as relevant work experience, personal attributes and motivations, and commitment to public service.”
Now, Teo Chee Hean appears to have limited comprehension skills.
