Pinnochio Big Nose Teo: We dont have data on study mamas

[Confuseous]

Mr Teo replied that there has been a decrease in the number of study mamas over the last 10 years.

He disclosed that at end 2013, there were about 4,800 female visitors on Long Term Visit Passes (LTVPs) with up to one year validity accompanying their children or grandchildren studying in Singapore on a Student’s Pass (STP), compared to about 6,500 study mamas at end 2004.

“Once the student completes his studies, his STP is no longer valid and he has to leave the country. The accompanying mother or grandmother is also not allowed to remain in Singapore,” said Mr Teo.

“However, there are certain circumstances where the mother may remain in Singapore, for example, when the mother qualifies for a work pass on her own merits and she stays in Singapore to work.”

“The application for a work pass is a separate process and is not linked to the LTVP that she was earlier issued. We do not have readily available data on the number of such cases,” he added.

In other words, Mr Teo claims not to know....

This guy is such an idiot that he does not even know that the only thing he hoodwinked was his own ever-growing longer nose.
Incredible, that this DPM actually goes up and say such things in Parliament.
They keep stats on everything, but major stuff like that, even dare to claim that they don't have (translation: "unfavourable") stats.
Just as that Boy Scout Soldier Boy Tan Chuan Jin says he does not have statistics on PR, Residents, Citizens employment data.

Big nose was so straight-faced when he responded.
Seriously.

You wonder why they never seem to have data that will shed a bad light on the PAP.
