Singaporeans should be allowed to get scholarships for PRCs

[TopSage]

and indians offered by the Singapore govt.

Today if you walk to a university campus in Singapore, you find hundreds of foreigners
studying in our university. These foreigners are on scholarships given to them by the
govt using taxpayer's money. The scholarship bond is for them to work 3 yrs in a Singapore company.

Singaporeans are not allowed to apply for these scholarship with a 3-yr work for singapore company
terms. Such a term helps Singapore corporations given a graduate today has lots options to work overseas. This obligation will not be different when applied to Singaporean graduate of a local university.

Why aren't these scholarships also offered to Singaporeans instead of just foreigners? There are many children of poor families who make it to university...while they can get bursary, such a scholarship is far better for such students financially.

Why is the discrimination against Singaporeans when it comes to such scholarships? Why is taxpayers money used to aid foreigners and not Singaporeans? Many singaporeans will be disadvantaged by such a scheme.

These scholarship schemes are very different from those run by the Japanese or French govt for foreigners for cultural exchange - most foreign govt have scholarship for foreigners but on a very small scale, others set very high criteria attracting now more than 1-2 best students from Singapore.

I would like to know how rational Singaporeans are expected to support such a scheme that
discriminate against Singaporeans and disadvantage them? What are the reasons to support this when our
local companies already have access to foreign graduates through FT imports?

Its interesting how the scholarship system in Singapore works. I met someone that have gotten a scholarship from the Australian government, and their criteria after graduation is to work at their own home country for X amount of years before allowing them to migrate back to aussieland. Mind you, these people are far and few, and you can say they are really the "cream of the crop". I thought about Sg's policy and asked don't the aussie govt want to allow you to stay immediately and "contribute" to the economy here instead? To which he reply, this is where the aussie govt, is smart. Today, he has 4 kids living in a million dollar mansion, combined household salary of 300K at least. So, why do you guys think he said the aussie govt is smart, instead of "bonding" him to stay in aust for 3 years?

it takes a very confident government to do that. the scholars return home when they are more experienced and matured? do share your insights Ash.

Indeed, from what I understand, and its heavily hinted by him. These scholars when they return home will be positioned in high level positions, in civil, government, military post. When the needs arises, they may knock on their door.

its actually quite brilliant too. let another country/organization train up your fresh grads, and take them back when they are more experienced.

this kind of thinking is farmer inspired. scholar thinking won't allow for this.
