Just saw this comment on an article on Yahoo! Singapore, and I can't confirm its authenticity, but if it's true, after reading it, can you NOT BE OUTRAGED?!?!?!
Well I am!!!! I'm paying this huge amount to study overseas not because I want to show off, but just because I can't get into a freaking Uni in Singapore. Maybe that is a result of me not being smart enough, not getting good grades enough to qualify, but this is utter bollocks, rolling out a red carpet to foreigners to go to Singapore to study, all expenses paid and with pocket money too?!?!??!?! What the freaking fuck is this!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shouldn't the government be spending the money helping people like me, helping us become smarter so that we can, at some point in our life, make a better living for ourselves? At this rate, what chance do we have of getting a better job to support our families in the future, when we'll just be fighting a losing battle against these free-loaders who are smarter than us, and getting head-hunted by companies?
It's amazing how they're surprised why students who study overseas, or other people for that matter, decide to get PR in the countries they are in instead of going back to Singapore. Maybe ALL Singaporeans should migrate elsewhere, so that the government can get all the foreign people they want onto Singapore soil. Then they can go use or find their own money instead of taxpayer's money to recruit all these free-loaders and send them here on golden pillows. Very soon, these free-loaders will be thinking that all Singaporeans are stupid so our government has to bring them here to fill the Uni places. Or maybe they're already doing that.
This is fucking crap.

I just extract this out from 1 of the post!!!
THIS IS TOO MUCH TO TAKE!!PM Lee, care to explain why? An extract from MyCarForum on 3 May 2011...

though i am very against the influx of FTs, i still treat them like a fellow being and have never look at them with a different perspective.
i was having lunch with a PRC colleague. shes a 24yr old gal who just graduated from NTU and now working in a MNC while waiting for PR approval.
just started a casual topic like, wad do u like about this country and how are u coping so we get the standard reply. wad stuns me, was the answer to my next question.
me: " so wad makes u decide to come here"
PRC: " i didnt"
me: " wa, ur parents force u here or ur bf is here"
PRC: "neither, ur SG gahment invited us here"
me: " huh, wad do u mean"
PRC: " ur MOE went to our school in our village and told us they URGENTLY need students here, infact they were hardselling the whole scheme and many of us signed up"
me: " huh, wad did they offer"
PRC: " they offer us, ALL Expenses paid for our fees in NTU, including lodging and we even get pocket money"
me: *mouth open
PRC: "on top of that, they have send me the INVITATION letter to apply for PR after we grad"
i seriously begin to wonder the magitude of the FT problem has many more sides that many of us do not know,
i lose my pride as a sgporean after hearing this and i really wonder do they really care ?
if u give a PR who starts a business here and bring jobs to sgporeans, by all means.
BUT if u choose to so-call groom a FT and seemingly used up tax payers money to fund it, i totally do not understand the reason why.
my guess is, they bring in more FTs, give them the candy and they bring in more FTs, which i belive is working because she told her friends about this scheme and many of her friends are here now, at the expenses of home-grown sgporeans.
i myself was deprived the chance of studying in a local U.
but yet a villager from a faraway land with no visible society contributions gets the chance of studying here, all expenses PAID.
are we really worth this much to the gahment ? is it really we got not enough pple here to study in NTU ? then why are they rejecting sgporeans who meet the pre-requisites ?
*(Pls help repost this for all awareness. appreciate!).. how m wish the OPP win 50% in parliment , and bring this issue up query our MIW!
