while singapore is not exactly meritocratic, white horses do enjoy special treatment, children of the opposition will not be shortchanged as long as their own political views are aligned with the govt.
JBJ's son, philip jeyaretnam (chairman of law society), is more close to the govt than most people in sg.
The concept of white horses applied to those son of rich or powerful fmily.
If u look at the NS criteria, those white horses need to put a bond of
$75000 to the govt when studied in other countries before enilsting for NS.
How many familiy in here can afford to put a $75000 bond to govt?
