Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is pleased to announce a S$3-million gift from its Pro-Chancellor Dr Wee Cho Yaw, which will go towards the establishment of a new scholarship fund at NTU’s Nanyang Business School for students in the Master of Science (Finance) programme.
Dr Wee’s gift will attract a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Singapore Government, resulting in a $6-million endowed fund that will support four Wee Cho Yaw Scholars each year. Valued at S$60,000 each, the scholarships will cover the tuition fees, as well as living and travel allowances for selected scholars on the full-time, one-year bilingual programme conducted in English and Chinese.
The gift is part of Dr Wee Cho Yaw’s on-going efforts to strengthen ties and collaboration between Singapore and China.
Dr Wee Cho Yaw, Chairman of the Wee Foundation said, “I hope that the scholarships will further deepen the good relations between the financial sectors of the two countries.”

There should be a law that limits to 10 percent of a scholarship fund that can be used to support foreigners. We are funding folks who have no desire to be of any benefit to sinkapore.

Leegime wants to radicalize Singaporeans and is taunting for a violent response. I think the rate their cronies are going, Leegime will get to see it. Foreign response towards will be very different when that happens. Watch the show.

Five homeless children found dead in rubbish bin in south-west China

Five homeless children have been found dead in a rubbish bin where they probably suffocated while sheltering from the cold, authorities in south-west China have said.

The boys, aged around 10, were found by an elderly rag picker on Friday morning, Beijing News reported. An initial investigation suggested they died of carbon monoxide poisoning, possibly due to burning charcoal inside the bin, which measured about 1.3 metres by 1.6 metres. Temperatures had dropped to 6C overnight and it is thought they had shut the lid to keep warm.

An official in Bijie, a city in mountainous Guizhou province, told the newspaper that police had not confirmed the cause of the deaths but had ruled out murder. The children's bodies remained unclaimed on Sunday; three have been identified.

Residents said the boys had been living in a nearby shelter they built from a tarpaulin, cement blocks and plywood, according to a man from the area who posted pictures of the bin online.

According to the ministry of civil affairs, there were an estimated one to one and a half million children living without parental care, mostly on the streets of towns and cities, in 2008. That did not include children working on the streets with migrant parents.

Last year the government ordered officials to place a higher priority on helping street children without parental care and to seek them out to provide help. It has also promised to build more centres providing shelter and basic services for them. In December the ministry of civil affairs launched a campaign to return most of them to their homes within the year.

Ma Li, who runs a shelter for homeless children in Jiangsu province, told China Daily that the deaths exposed the problem with existing provision for them. "Rescue centres don't have a long-term effective way to help these children as they can only provide food and shelter for a maximum of 10 days. After that, the rescue centres are required to send these children home," he said.

He said most children had run away because they had bad relationships with their parents and might have suffered domestic abuse – making them reluctant to go to the centres for help. Ma said a new system was needed to encourage NGOs, schools and individuals to participate in helping homeless children.

Dale Rutstein, chief of communications for Unicef in China, where the agency has been working with authorities to help street children, said: "There's been a strong effort to find children and bring them back to their home provinces. That's only a small part of the issue. The underlying causes really have to be addressed in a long-term, comprehensive way.

"The best approach to that is creating a child welfare system where parents can be assisted to care for their children better and case workers are aware of the needs of the most vulnerable families and prevent those more serious outcomes. [China] is in its very early stages of developing a more modern child welfare system."

Unicef has been helping to train officials dealing with street children and the managers of relief centres. It is currently working with the ministry of civil affairs on a five year pilot scheme to develop a community-based child welfare system.

Don't play-play with WCY. He is super powerful in S'pore. A good pal of Harry. Influence almost on par with Yong Pung How.

 

[mojito]

That is the way! WCY use his own money to support, not PAP use public money to support the PRC Pandas. Of course he can do whatever he wants with his own money. Just don't bloody use public funds for your little political gifts, ok?

Dr Wee’s gift will attract a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Singapore Government, resulting in a $6-million endowed fund that will support four Wee Cho Yaw Scholars each year.

Just don't bloody use public funds for your little political gifts, ok?

Hello, dollar for dollar matching from the government. Where got no public funds involved? Like that song boh?

Totally agree with you. If it is his own money, nobody can say anything except maybe his own immediate family members. PAP gov didn't use their own money but taxpayers money.

There could be a link between LKY and Wee Cho Yaw.

Wee Cho Yaw's father is Wee Kheng Chiang

Wee Kheng Chiang has two brothers, one elder and one younger.

http://www.projectsenso.com/forum/index.php?topic=246.0;wap2

Mr Wee, 52, should know something about change, as well as continuity. Part of a proud family heritage that saw his grandfather Wee Kheng Chiang set up the bank in 1935 with just $1 million in paid-up capital, the younger Mr Wee got his first job at the bank at 26. He has been its deputy chairman and president for the past five years

Is Wee Kheng Chiang (Wee Cho Yaw's father) related to Wee Theam Seng by blood?

UOB: Wee Kheng Chiang -> Wee Cho Yaw -> Wee Ee Cheong
OCBC: Wee Theam Seng + Tan Chin Tuan + Kwa Siew Tee + Lee Kong Chian (son-in-law of Tan Kah Kee)

Mr Wee Cho Yaw,

CHARITY SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME.

Dunno what would Tan Lark Sai have done??????

 

[steffychun]

Chinese naturally give scholarship to Chinese. Banglah give scholarship to Banglah. It's a small world afterall.

Mr Wee Cho Yaw,

Being a beneficiary of the MIW, he follows where their wind is blowing.

Thats where Tan Lark Sai failed miserably as our Founding Father wasn't good with him.

 

[Spock]

Smacks of a case of a businessman using public funds and facilities to further his own business interests. Government is in cahoots with the business sector as well. Peasants get screwed again. If WCY really wanted to help the Chinese, he would have just set up the scholarship fund in China and awarded them to deserving applicants regardless of where they wish to pursue their studies.
