think tam is so nice to give NG ๅฐ้ถไธ....
It is not easy for a man of his stature to apologize, so I am willing to let the matter rest.
I just saw the video of him apologize in Mandarin at the Channel 8 news. It must have been painful for him. -
yap I strongly agree..let the matter rest..... :dancing:

I think I found a Charity Foundation who can help already !
That's the KSP spirit nan.nan :celebrate:nan.nan:
To those parents who find it difficult themselves to help their children in learning Chinese Language, I will be in this forum to help answer your questions. Although I am not a Chinese tution teacher, I will do my best.
If there are more people requiring help, we can appraoch other organisations to see if we can get funding or support, to organise useful courses for their needs.
Don't give up 3-boys

Mdm Chan is the mother of Ho Peng (the Director General of Education) and Ho Ching, i.e., Prime Minister's Mother-in-Law. She came to Singapore after WW2. She grew up in an era where Asian girls did not have the privilege of formal education....and she learnt to speak Mandarin by listening to the news on radio !
What a good spirit ! matching the idea of \"Its is not too late to learn your Mother Tongue\"
So, if we form a group of something helping those parents who are not good at Chinese Language and want to learn more, isn't this Charity Foundation an ideal partner ?
Yes ? No ? -

it is a basic recognition that a pupil who can only master 3 subjects compared with another who can master 4, is not good enough. don't ever use lowering weightage to tweak it. it is called cheating or foul play. somebody who gave / fed the info to the minister to talk about lowering the weightage is going to get shot, political test balloon or not. who wants to risk / lose political capital & goodwill .....Look at point 10 of Mr Ng's speech.... it's now completely different from what he said earlier about making it easier for bright students who don't score well in MT to enter top sec. schools.
\"10. This shift to a more proficiency-based approach should not lower standards or reduce the incentive for our students to learn MTL. On the contrary, well-defined proficiency-based syllabi and exams will set clear and appropriate standards for students to aim for. The incentives to do well will also remain. Those who demonstrate higher proficiency deserve to score higher. Those who do not put in the effort should not be rewarded. So, students will still need to do well in their MTL to get into their school of choice.\"
