PRC engr students get 300%+ more than needy local poly allowance

[Confuseous]

Wu Jiaping (not his real name) is one of 200 PRC imports who will be studying at our local universities. He is spending one year at a preparatory school to brush up his competency in English before starting his 4-year degree course, to be followed by a 6-year bond working in Singapore. Wu will be spending 11 years here, 5 years of which are on a scholarship funded by Singapore taxpayers, which includes a generous stipend of $400 pocket money each month.

This is way more generous than the School Pocket Money Fund allowance that selected Singaporean children are given for school-related expenses, such as buying a meal during recess, paying for their bus fares or using it to meet their other schooling needs (Primary school beneficiaries receive $55 a month, secondary school beneficiaries $90, post-secondary institutions like Polytechnics $120). Wu said his batch is studying engineering, which means 200 engineering jobs have been allocated for this "imported competition". There are other batches involving other disciplines of study. How many more jobs are set aside for the foreigners is any body's guess.

The Singapore gov't spends significant sums of tax payers money to educate children of foreigners while at the same time reject the entrance of Singaporean children to university -Singapore have one of the lowest if not lowest % of students going to university compared with developed countries. Singapore educates 27% of its students to university compared with 70% in Korea. It chooses to use its resources to educate foreigners students.

Some brain washed Singaporeans come out and say if gov't educate too many to university there will be insufficient jobs...however, to justify its FT policy the PAP say we must accept highly educated foreigners with university degrees because there are more jobs requiring degrees than can be taken up by Singaporeans. So degree holders from Philippines university, India university, ...all good enough to import but own people don't educate to university.

Imagine those like me without degree go out to work...what kind of work available? For me without degree, I ended up working in a fast food restaurant. I serve my NS and my friends with poorer results than me but richer parents were sent to overseas university ...they come back with degree work as professionals, but Singaporeans without degree find it hard to compete for good jobs against foreigners with better paper qualifications. Why put your citizens at a disadvantage and give advantage to foreigners and even help them educate their children to university. This a betrayal of the trust of ordinary people in Singapore, those who are rich and way above average can always find their way up....but ordinary pole, children of ordinary ....they are denied by their own gov't....so is it surprising to see more and more turning against the PAP gov't...economic expediency and consideration cannot take precedence over the need to take care of your own citizens first, if you forget this, then you cannot blame the people for rejecting your leadership and withdrawing their support.
