Grandypa, you must be a 'lowly educated oldie' that you can't even differentiate a cautionary advice with a curse. And most of all, you do not even know how to quote a third party's post properly. It seems more like you were the one who wrote it. As for your comment on 'grave enmity', you should direct it at the writer of the offensive post if you even have any conscience.
Wow. Do you need to curse jetsetter's 3rd generation? You are writing as though you have some 深仇大恨 with her. Over a JC merger?blurblob11:
I think you KBKB the loudest. Really a pot calling kettle black.
There are only a handful of jcs and it's the first time they are merging them so of course netizens can express their views in social media. You can't understand such simple logic?
Also, students of jc going age are more matured and smarter so they have stronger sentiments than when they were in pri or sec schools. You must have never experienced jc life right hence your nonsensical comments.
The way you 'suan' those people who don't have strong alumni or calling those jcs as' empty vessels too ashamed to fight' is really uncalled for. Your DC in EJC with COP 9 so what's there to ya-ya papaya? Aren't you afraid that your 3rd generation will get their retribution?
Like what someone mentioned, you are afraid of losing the new building for your kid and I know you feel very insecure that EJC COP is exactly the same as the affected AJC. Pathetic!!
Gosh. You are just behaving like a 泼妇骂街
I shall check with the ministry if gathering the alumni and stirring an uproar is a better alternative.
ps: Can you also provide the link to that post as it involves multiple parties being insulted esp at the last paragraph and they demand an apology from the writer; as also as proof to the authority for instigation. This is serious. Tks. -

Great post by jetsetter in the other thread
Frankly, I dunno who the people making noises are. Some are parents with kids in JCs attended by Ministers' kids, i.e. they are from top JCs like VJC or NJC. They themselves were non-alumni of any of the 28 affected schools, unless they otherwise admit in this forum. As far as I know, only 2 KGMs have mentioned they were from AJC and while they lamented about the merger and possible slide in COP, they aren't going to petition or do anything at all. Other noisemakers aren't teachers or staff from the affected schools it seems.
The hardcopy ST covers a lot more stories on the mergers. Most netizens jumped at the dribs and drabs because they obtained snippets from forums (sometimes backdated ST links or blocked links because you're limited to 15 ST online articles per month!) but actually I get a better picture and more balanced perspective after reading the hardcopy news articles like Zaobao and ST. For instance, I didn't get the impression the teachers were disgruntled. Perhaps they were but were muted by media. But at least from ST report, I know the Singapore Teachers' Union is already working in concert with affected teachers on the transition.
Likewise, from ST hardcopy, I learnt that while JJC alumni were sad that their 30yo JC is going to go down in history, they have come to terms with the merger and will be engaging alumni on the merger at a meeting next month and has already started collecting feedback from them, including asking for ideas on how the new JC’s identity can be shaped.
I'm also baffled why some altruistic champions of lower income/late bloomers aren't sticking their necks out for those affected primary and secondary schools, but only those 8 JCs.
Some of the affected primary schools have a longer history （Shuqun Pri School 1925; Da Qiao Pri Sch 1936; ) than the new and under-subscribed JCs. I found out from Zaobao article that Macpherson Primary School was Chan Chun Sing's alma mater. Even the Minister's alma mater wasn't spared in this mass merger.

Why aren't the noisemakers kicking up a big fuss over these heritage pri schools? Why take aim at EJC whose brandnew campus was already agreed upon during the JIP negotiations among stakeholders and alumni, and cast in stone/rubber-stamped in the blueprint some 8-10 years ago, i.e. before this current rookie minister decided to merge the 8 non-IP JCs? I think it's unfair to take aim at EJC because the students have already been sensible and magnanimous enough to occupy the temp campus in Mount Sinai for 2 years after the outcry in 2015.
If the parents of those 8 JCs are so upset (or some crusaders with no vested interests in any of the 28 schools), they should muster their courage to write in to the Minister, start a petition or Meet their MP to express their grievances, like the parents of those 3 heritage schools of EJC. MOE sat up to engage the stakeholders, because the immediate stakeholders cared enough to take ownership of their case to voice out their concerns through proper channels.
However, I don't see any alumni of those affected JCs taking ownership to start any petition or write to MOE at all. They seem ok that their / DC's lower-tier JCs are being merged and shut down. Why? Either they have no pride of, no affinity to those under-subscribed govt JCs and secondary schools or they are just 'empty vessels' in a public forum, unlike those EJC indept/govt-aided school stakeholders 2 years ago. Who's going to bother with you if you are too ashamed to fight for your alma mater?
I rarely ventured out of my IJC den but this post caught my attention. It is particularly impudent to make such negative general comments for whatever reasons.
Please explain and I demand an apology from you on behalf of IJC alumni! -

I dislike people who use foul language and verbal insults. Next you posted that long msg from jetsetter without using any punctuation such as \" \" or colon to indicate which part was written by her. So I thought you were the one who wrote it. Yes, I do have old flowery eyes indeed.
So, you admit you are a man. A man must have 'du liang'. Don't be so calculative and niang. -

A motherhen's job is to lay good eggs and hence good chicks and not produce rotten chicks.
P/s; just joking motherhen. i have nothing against you. pls note that our bashings are always reactions to others' provocations. if we don't retaliate, these incorrigible losers will think we can be easily pushed around. -

stetan (aka ryanryan and ethanethan as suspected by other forummers), jetsetter, grandypa (aka chip and dale or crester) ( most have suspected based on the bluntness and lousy english used and jetsetter confirmed last 2 are same person too) should retreat to their own sngs/chs pri-ejc and sngs-nyjc quarters. Stop barking around like mad dogs that will result in euthanasia being performed on you. -
mindays:
Many grey areas if one seeks and explores.
I have an intriguing qn on number 5, when MOE says that \"Integrated Programme (IP) JCs and non-IP JCs are not compatible merger partners\", does it mean that 2 Integrated Programme (IP) JCs are compatible merger partners, since the programme both run by IPJCs are similar? -

Motherhen, may I know whom your message is directed to ?
Was it to Jetsetter who posted these in green which Grandypa deemed as good post, or are you directing at blurblob11?
\"I'm also baffled why some altruistic champions of lower income/late bloomers aren't sticking their necks out for those affected primary and secondary schools, but only those 8 JCs.

I too agree with blurblob11 that if Jetsetter doesn't control her tongue and whacks blatantly at others, who knows if her 3rd generation will fall within this category that she had condemned, along with her supporters and one calling himself a man.
