Our school children have budget cuts, FT trash get $10 million.

[Papsmearer]

Very disappointing to read that many schools are going to get their budgets cut, some say drastically. But wait, there is $10 millions for FTs to be integrated and made to feel at home here.

The NIC has a $10 million fund for org. and people who want to integrate foreigners. U want to teach them english, u can go an apply for the fund. u want to hold a water festival for Thais in your estate, u can apply for the fund. But if your child;s secondary school want more MOE funding, forget it, in fact, their budget going to be further cut. Uniquely traitorous PAP. Our children from good schools have a lower priority in the eyes of the PAP, than a foreign talent trash. As far as I am concerned, FTs can jolly well pay for their integration. Why can't all prospective PR and new citizens be charged a $50K fee for integration services? Why has the money have to come out from some other sources like school funding? The onus is on everyone who comes here to work, study, and live here to learn english, and our customs. The onus is not on us to pay $10 million to teach them. Fucking PAP.

From the NIC website:

Against this backdrop, the National Integration Council (NIC) was set up in April 2009 to promote and foster social integration among Singaporeans, new immigrants and foreigners. It comprises leaders from the Government, community and the private sector. The NIC encourages and facilitates collaborative social integration efforts among the public, people and private (3P) sectors.


The NIC runs and administers this fund:

Community
Integration Fund

To create more opportunities for newcomers and locals to meet
and understand each other better, organisations that wish to
kick-start projects to promote social integration can now apply to
a $10 million fund. Called the Community Integration Fund
(CIF), it will provide co-funding of up to 80 percent for
integration projects over the next three years. This will help
to ease the constraints currently faced by organisations
interested in organising integration projects but lack the required
resources to do so.
The Fund is open for application to all Singapore-registered nonprofit
organisations, societies registered with the Registry of
Societies and private companies under the Accounting and
Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore (ACRA). Details of
the CIF can be found in Annex B, and at
http://app.mcys.gov.sg/web/comm_promote_socialintegration.as

Six top independent schools in Singapore have had their funding cut and, along with other mission schools, have been told to moderate fund-raising activities for campus upgrading.

In addition, they will have to comply with a new directive urging all schools with air-conditioned classrooms to install fans and use air-conditioning only when necessary.

The six schools rank among the top in the Singapore education scene, comprising the Raffles secondary schools and its junior college, Hwa Chong Institution, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and NUS High School of Mathematics and Science.

They all run both the Integrated Programme (IP) and Gifted Education Programme (GEP). The IP provides a seamless secondary and junior college education with students bypassing the O levels. The GEP caters to students in the top 1 to 2 per cent of their cohort.

I am surprised that MOE dare to cut funding to RI and Hwa Chong, since so many MPs and cabinet ministers graduated from those schools.

i hope WP bring this up in Parleement.

 

[bushtucker]

not forgetting the millions of dollars worth of scholarships given to foreign thrash.

MOE is disappointed with the quality produced from these 2 schools la. Hence the budget cut. No budget cut how to support FTs?

Another proof that sinkies are 3rd class citizens in our own country.

Integration is but a dream of the PAP. FTsh are not interested in integration. This island is their economic refugee camp where they can find jobs, good medical services, education, etc. What integration? When things go wrong here, they pack and leave.

The pappies are using enforced integration to mitigate social tensions from their fucked up population policies.

As usual, they don't care about you or me, or even the FTs here. They care only about their own political careers.

$220 million a year for foreign students to study in our universities, $280 million for AStar scholarship for foreigners (these foreigners become instant sinkees upon completion of their first degree which is a condition for them to continue with the scholarship, so official statistics is able to hide the actual amount spent on foreigners in this category). Nice cool half a billion a year.

Do Sinkies ever have class in our own country in the first place?

Bukit Timah Road, where most of these top schools are, is now all dug up for the construction of the Downtown Line MRT. It is like a warzone now.

I saw the construction site of the Tan Kah Kee station eating up a chunk of the Hwa Chong campus space, particularly the green field next to the road.

Do you honestly believe that this govt would give something for nothing?

I think most of these scholarship holders get bonded to the various govt. agencies. So, u can make the case that the govt. gets something in return. But it would make sense to reduce some of these scholarships if it turns out there is not enough money for our own singapore born students.

Everyone seems to know this but the PAP. EIther these guys are really stupid or they are ostriches with their heads buried in the sand.

 

[eatshitndie]

it's an excellent strategy to educate and "uplift" the disadvantaged bright kids around the region. it will ultimately help and secure sg as a generous, benevolent and visionary progenitor of goodwill in a region bogged down with failures and corruption. sg one day will be credited with singlehandedly lifting the entire region out of poverty, and in so doing propell her to greater heights of advancement and prosperity. huat ah!!!

They could use the money on sinkees instead of spending it on foreigners. Why does the PAP dislike sinkees so much?

This is personal vendetta by Con You mah. He likes to tell the world that he created such a fantastic place, called Singapore. Than his fellow statesmen ask him if that is the case why so many of your citizens migrate to our countries like Australia, UK, Canada, US? He lose face and cannot answer. Than he proceeded to use a carrot and stick approach. Ask sinkies to come back from abroad, that failed, than he had Wooden call them quitters and people who cannot tahan the system here, so had to run away. When all that failed to reverse the trend, he just basically decided to fuck up the ungratefull sinkies any way he can and implement all these Pro FT policies. His pride is hurt, people who migrated like you have basically said in as many words, "your version of singapore is flawed and wrong, and we are leaving.".

The PAP is a party for foreigners ...they sell us out to the Chinese, then to the Indians. Now the Ah Tiongs and Ah Nehs are raping our land. Can't figure out how the Pinoys fit into the PAP's grand scheme of things.
