What I hate about the current Singapore

If the govt sponsors every child's education from preschool all the way to the Uni (incl tuition enrichment and what not), the storks will arrive fast and furious.

If only it were that simple.

Yep, if only life were that simple.

I am doubtful it will work. It only works for people who think of everything in terms of $$ but raising kids is more than just $$.

If the govt really does that (we can only dream on), it will no doubt lift a big burden off parents' backs. The stress from bringing up a child, at least in the Sg context, is school. Since most sg parents belive that good education is the key to success (I don't disagree), they'll do whatever they can to ensure the best education for their children. In their perspective, it means tuition , elite enrichment etc . That's when the stress kicks in at least for the financially not so well-to-do families.

If the govt pays for everything (fat hope), it'll be a level playing field. Every child will have access to the most \"exclusive\" and \"elite\" tuition regardless of family background. But of course, life is not as simple as that .

:salute:[/quote]So bizzare. Create a nick just to post this rant, then disappear.

cheh.

Anyway, why so bitter and negative near National Day? There's lots not to love about Singapore, but there's lots I love about it too.

If carnagejane feels so strongly against the nation, perhaps trying to eke a living abroad will help her count her blessings. It's easy to criticise when your belly is full.

peterch's observation is probably right as ksp has been frequently quoted.

Really arh.
I only know of one GEP article written by a Jane Ng in ST using KSP forum material.
So carnagejane cld be Jane Ng under a new guise?
Looks like lazy journalism to me, if one can still call it journalism.

I like your last statement. I can so relate to that.

And if you are right about carnagejane, then the cynical me would further classify this as unethical journalism, jmho.
