limlim:may any ppl call us 'ugly' asian?countries like.. your own?snaw:
If Singapore keeps forcing the issue with moves like this I'll leave, there are plenty of other countries which would value my skills and aren't quite as hostile as Singapore is starting to appear to be to foreign talent.(juz a remark, no intention to be sarcastic or anything..)
it may be a political move.. you can't run away from that..
One comment on the hostility.. most are not against real talents who can contribute to the community.. but rather cheap PMET labour from pinoy land, abnn land or tiong land or the like.. who come here in hordes to compete with locals for jobs..
I doubt UK employee or Aussie employees will cost less than locals..
But pinoys, abnn & tiong more often than not will be much cheaper.. plus no NS obligations..
FT is just a general term.. the hostility is most likely not targeted at all FTs.. I doubt the number of European FTs is significant anyway.. compared to pinoy, abnn & tiong land..... to cause any distress to locals..
All along, there have been FTs from other parts of the world and there was never much resentment.. only recently the influx from pinoy, abnn & tiong than got so many complains..
Hence, no need to be bothered by those comments against FTs that you see in other forums..... I feel..

RE: 2012 P1 Registration Exercise for 2013 In-Take

i agree with you...i think the whole issue lies in the fact that there are more than enough schools in SG, with so many more brand new schools built in Sengkang, Jurong, Punggol, etc - but there are not enough good schools to go round, meet the needs of all parents.
In fact P1 registration statistics reveal some schools not even 50% occupied nobody want, on the verge of closing down.
don't understand why MOE don't initiate Task force investigative study teams go down to assess, figure out and try to bring up the standard of such low enrolment schools. This is the key issue, crux of the problem.
MOE should seriously explore this area how to bring up the standard have more GOOD schools, if really want to sing the tune that \"All schools are good\".
btw, just curious how those good teachers decide which school they want to teach in? distance from where they stay? quality of students? -

mummy of 3:
actually it is same as sec school and uni entrance tests...I dun think this is fair enough.
It will be like base on whether the child is bright enough to enter the school.
It will be hurt to parents and child if they reject as your child is not bright enough... :roll: -
RE: All About Getting Priority Registration
actually some countries quite side their own citizens, they admit “dual citizenship” in one way or another…even those prs convert to scs, their origin countries still treat them as so called “oversea citizens”, or when they go back to their origin countries they can easily get back their origin citizenships, so no lost for them to convert to scs… and they can get all the benifits for being scs, not only for p1 registration but other subsidies, first hand housing etc…
maybe for this yr, we are happy to have less competes as a lot of prs may not have enough time to convert to scs and stand the same chance as scs in p1 registeration, but how about next yrs onwards…
