What do you expect of the States Times' chief editors or writers to write if it openly appoints ex-ministers and ex-chief justice to be its Chairman and CEO.
What do you except its writers to write if it has special editors seconded from the ISD. It is hypocrisy really for MM Lee to lament our lack of analytical writings by our journalists or for not being daring to ask questions in panels of discussions with such officers constantly watching over their movements and scrutinizing their writings.
Haven't you read the complaint posted in this forum some time ago of a foreign journalist who has his service terminated soon after a conflict or disagreement with one of such special editors over his independent writing of one article.
Robert,
There is a plan to open a fourth university to cater to poly graduates in which majority of them went to
other countries for their university study. I wonder the reason the difficulty for these poly graduates to be accepted
into the local universities but foreign student can get scholarship?
Will4,
When they say 'locals not keen on F&B industry', you have to ask yourself which 'locals' did they interview? If you ask 10 NUS graduates if they want a career waiting tables, you are going to get 10 'NO's.
And you have to understand this: nobody will tell you they are 'keen' to work as waiters or dishwashers. So that's really the wrong question to ask. The question should be: how many locals need jobs in the F&B industry to survive?
The next question we should be asking is: By giving away jobs in bulk to foreigners, how many Singaporeans who depend on F&B jobs are affected?
