I'd rather have more Subcontinentals than PRCs. The former are a smaller threat to our rice bowls.Originally posted by pearlie27:MOE is accepting those PRC students cos the govt hope that these students will stay on after their studies. It is not cos MOE, and much less the society, hates people who are good in English.
Our govt love elites and to them there is no such thing as useless elites. Btw, being good in English only doesn't render one an elite.
It is rather narrow-minded to think that one subject is more impt than others. Every subject contributes to the development of humanity.
i think our view of education and knowledge has one fundamental flaw: it is based on utilitarian pragmatic grounds.
We have been conditioned to pursue whatever education or knowledge that will enable us to get a well paying job. There are actually many other things to learn though they may not be well paying they contribute to our pulsating universe and allow us to fulfill our potential! -
Why sg allowing more PRC......simple!!!
SG Chinese population is decreasing like hell!!! So....got to allow more PRC to balance out. -

As long as you keep to your work and not rant in Sgforums about the fund managers who earn millions of dollars when you are slogging for your 4k a month.Originally posted by BillyBong:The mindset has stereotyped to such an extent that we are all victims to it.
Humanties, language and the arts are sidelined as career-less opportunities. It has been drilled into the parents of today and therefore into the youths of today.
Who can blame parents who prefer their children to enter the money-spinning finance industry?
There must be more to life than the curse of the rat race.

Where humanities is concerned, I would prefer a JK Rowling than a Nobel laureate for literature anyday..Originally posted by LazerLordz:English and the Humanities, have not been given their due recognition. Enough said.
Singapore with our limited resources should focus on producing a workforce that is required to drive our economy. Otherwise, we will need to hire more foreign talent. So far, we have had to turn to foreigners for our IT experts, nurses, doctors, engineers....don't think we had to hire that many graduates in the humanities so far.. -
Now I know why Singapore will never produce someone like JK Rowling.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:What about money? Life would be too miserable for you to be bored if it didn't exist
