I'm a reporter from Singapore's Child magazine. Currently pursuing an article about everything parents need to know about DSA, from IP vs IB to what do schools ask in interview. Anyone interested in sharing your experience of going through DSA with me? PM me if you can help me by sharing; this will help other parents who want to help their child enter the school of their dreams!

you will get more than enough to fill your pages just by browsing this forum

Though my son's badminton coach has connection with one of the top schs. Don't think i want to dsa thru sports. I mean he has other activities not whole life dedicated to badminton. He will join badminton CCA in the future sec sch, but won't commit when there are competitions.

I would try dsa thru academic instead. What to prepare for academic?

got connection but got skill or not ?

is there a weblink or blog ? how do we know this is not a scam? (no cynicism intended)

What I want to state is MOE made the right move to stop naming top pupils, especially for secondary schools.

In my view, most of them are Chinese scholars whom the principals handpicked from China. :rahrah: If you checked the top schools who have taken in these pupils, these scholars enjoy much privileges and publicity in schools because they are the cream of the crops to bring in fame and honour.
Hopefully they don't leave like the badminton aces after being nurtured by our 'big-small eyes' teachers. :spank:
Now we have the issue of population expansion and thus foreign talents expansion. No doubt many of these foreign pupils are going to be the future bosses of our local kids. :nailbite:
MOE has better 'hide' them to reduce the sentiments among us parents. :censored:
Agree or not agree?

Zheng, you are foreigner right ? You so sure all these young scholars will become bosses of Singaporeans in the future ? Nothing is guaranteed. Don't be so stuck up first. May be everyone of them turn out to be Sun Xu.

Anything non-PAP is like genius to them even though they are most alike with dodo birds

Psst... She thought we are the same person. :rotflmao: I received a PM from a kind member last night, about what she wrote on another thread... Hahahaha...you see, she has a \"thing\" about nailing whoever is/are her perceived suspect/s. You know, they call it an obsession.

She is a bird species expert, so, don't play play. :rotflmao: I don't have any bird, if you have any bird you better :siam: far far before she made your bird her private specimen collection :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Take care, keep posting, I enjoy reading your posts... :rahrah:

Who is she ? A bird person ? Lady bird ? She interested in my bird ?

Most high end cars have keyless entry and ignition. Showing car key or key fob means not driving high end car. So what is the envy all about ?

For every Li Jia Wei that goes back to her home country with a Singapore passport, there are more born and bred ‘pure’ Singaporean who benefited more and left the country and give up Singapore passport. You call them the quitters and you have the whole list of them on the website, like a who is who, many of them scholars

From LLL


\"In a recent ST report, Singapore sees an average of 12,000 abortions a year, and 4 out of 10 women who went for abortions were single women. Reducing the discrimination against single mothers may reduce the likelihood of single mothers having to resort to terminating their pregnancies for fear of lack of support. Furthermore, for a country suffering from a fertility crisis, each child should be valued, and not punished simply because he or she is born to unmarried parents.\"

Are we as a society, ready for this?

So Singapore women are not so infertile after all

And it is also not true that they do not have a HDB flat in which to make babies. They are quite good at it except not what they wanted. They have proven the ability to make babies with or without HDB flats

Just a matter of selfish attitude to have fun minus the responsibility. They call it the lifestyle thing.

Perhaps parliament should do the next logical thing to illegalize abortion as part of the population white paper....but then the ostriches may find it the sand no longer cosy to bury their heads in

Whatever surname you change the children’s to, one of these days when they are old enough to seek their own root, they will most likely change it back to his / hers original biological surname


Changing surname really is merely cosmetic and for the convenience of and camouflage by the parents and step parents. Nobody can hide the truths.
