\"Foreign Talent\"?? Can anyone tell me how to define Foreign Talent?

I search disctionary also cannot find this word. :?

Foreign talent is anyone with specialised skills and adds value to the economy of a foreign country.

My definition is that I perceive a harmonious society flourishing with foreign and local talents . There will be neither segregation nor discrimination towards either side; instead there will be free flow of ideas as well as sharing of experiences among both sides leading to economic, technological, social and cultural advancements. We will soon be home to the hordes of talents in the region and possibly, the world.

i think a quota on pr is good. so that our kids actually get to know non-singaporeans and realise that the whole world does not spin around singapore. but yet they won't get crowded out by non-singaporeans as what is the point of being citizen and yet can't get into a national school as it is filled with non-citizens, altho they pay higher fees.


that's how some western unis feel anyway. asians flying there and taking up spaces and paying higher fees while proving stiff rivalry academically to the locals, so a quota is a good balance for them as well. WHAT is the quota is the mystery. :?

Ha.ha maybe change like that sound better, anyonme have better way just cut & paste & modify.


Phase 1 – Existing siblings in the Primary school (PR Siblings inclusive)
Phase 2A(1) – No Change
Phase 2A (2) – No Change
Phase 2B – PV, Church, Clans, GRL (Singaporeans)
Phase 2B Supplementary - PV, Church, Clans, GRL (Permanent Residents )
Phase 2C – Singapore Citizenship Only.
Phase 2C Supplementary - Singapore Citizenship Only
Phase 3A – Permanent Residents
Phase 3A Supplementary - Permanent Residents
Phase 4 – Non Citizen.

How about a scheme where advantage points will be given. Such that if both parent are citizen, then awards like 20 points, then if completed NS, some more points, and etc. Scheme can be defined to include like sibling same school, PV, community work, stay near home, and etc and etc. .

The more points you get put you higher for prioirty for the school of your choice. . .anymore new ideas, we have to help those civil servants to think I guess. .

To elaborate more, with the advantage points awarded to each child, parent will choose their top 5 preferred pri schools and let the system assign their best eligible choice. Something like choosing the sec sch if I am not wrong.
