Yes I fully agreed! :lovesite:

My DD is from mainstream in a popular neighbourhood sch. Today is the start of her prelims orals & she seems to hv put the DSA thing behind her after the selection test on sat & went rattling on her orals preparations.. :rotflmao:

My DD too has moved on, she refused to talk abt the DSA after the test ended at RGS. She too like your DD is now preparing for her prelim orals that is also starting this week.

well, whatever the outcome, all the best your DD and mine too :)[/quote]

Thanks & yes to all applying : LOTS OF LUCK!

I am prepared to be stoned for saying this :

1. the number of foreign students do not even make up for the short fall of babies born each year in singapore to replace the aging and dying each year

2. many of them do localise and become citizens, those that return to their home countries will still be part of the network of your kids - when they become decision makers in their countries or their biz at home countries --- at least they understand S'pore better & how we work; and who knows, your kids become minister and they become minister in their countries and lo, it makes international relation better, and easier to manage, they can always call each other.....look at the larger picture please....

3. in any case talented people move freely around the world, whatever their nationalities, that is the nature of thing; & talented singapore citizens are all over the world too, and NOT coming back ! and we need more to replace these too !

4. too much inbreeding is not helpful

when I go to meetings in London & NY, bound to meet Singaporeans working there among the bankers and lawyers.......and scientists in France and Germany .... alongside the Hongkongers and PRC & Taiwanese Chinese in those major cities

it is hoped that the younger students coming here would stay longer with us as they grow up here living the Singaporean way of life, compared to just coming for uni or post-grad.....sure got leakage, just like talented Singaporeans going away

(S'pore not that attractive as a post-grad destination)...give u an idea of talent grooming : NYU has a full campus in Shanghai and Mid East but not S'pore

another way to look at it : singapore got it cheap because these people come as adults /almost adults --- it would otherwise cost Singapore much much more tax payers' money to produce and groom that many bright students (scholars/talent or not) in short notice ... someone else have done the hard work of rearing them....


okay, let the stones fly ..... :siam: :siam:
