Is this something to be excited about,
something to be proud of, something silly to be craving for? More foreign
students means lesser places for our children and more parents have to empty
their saving banks or sell their homes to send their children overseas. More
foreign staff means lesser Singaporeans are employed and in the long run the
emptying of Singaporeans in the academia. Are these good for Singapore and
Singaporeans?
Why is the govt spending so much money
on foreign students, many on scholarship and big money to pay the foreign
academic staff? Is public money being applied responsibly and in the best and
efficient way to benefit Singaporeans? Is Singapore turning itself into a Santa
Claus to foreign students and foreign academic staff?
What is more important, educating our
own students, ensuring that Singaporeans become eminent academics or feeding
the foreigners and educating the foreigners?
In a modern cosmopolitan city in the
21st Century when transportation and communication are so convenient, is there
a need to have so many foreigners here just to expose our students to
foreigners as if they are living in little remote villages and never seen or
knew a foreigner before? So there is this compulsion to bring foreigners here
to integrate will our hillbillies or kampong kids or they will become ignorant
of foreigners and their cultures and thinking?
What should be the priority for spending
taxpayers’ money?
