More than 90% of NUS Conservatory class 2010 are foreigners!

[Confuseous]

YST shunned by Singaporean young people?

For the class of 2010, YST Conservatory took in merely 3 Singaporeans out of a total of 32. In another words, more than 90% of YST class 2010 are foreigners. There are around 40,000 Singaporean born in a particular year. I cannot see the reason why YST Conservatory was only able to find merely 3 students out of 40,000 Singaporeans. There is no evidence to support that ONLY 3 people of that age group are interested in music, but on the contrary.

The concert hall costs lots of monies to build and maintain. Most if not all students are on 100% scholarship. Students fly in and out to play with major orchestras or to work with renown composers. The professors are not cheap. YST has 50 faculties and in 2010, there are 32 graduating students. YST has the lowest students to teacher ratio not seen anywhere in Singapore. Unfortunately, all these goodies are for foreigners and Singaporeans are only there to foot the bills.

The short termism of the PAPpies will have disastrous ramifications in the long term. The FTs aren't fools. They've witnessed how the scorpion stung the frog despite its rhetoric of trust and collective interest. They will exploit the largesse of the PAPpies with glee and abandon Sinkieland when it's opportune. Eventually, after smart Sinkies and FTs abandon the sinking ship, the PAPpies will have no one to leech off other than bangalas, wayanging civil serpents, useless army regulars and CC aunties. Good luck to them
