Some folks feel safer maintaining the status quo, they are not adaptable to change.

You're offering them free education with little terms and conditions, you don't expect them not to take full advantage of it right. People come to Singapore because of the terms it offers, quite unlike the States and Britain, which is for the prestige and academic excellence. Some like it here, and remain behind. Well as for others, they just bail when better opportunities beckon, you can't really blame them or the government when stories like this prop up, both the government who instituted this scheme and the scholars who partake of the scheme, did it out of need.
However, what episodes such as this show is that we can never totally count on the overseas scholars program for our source of 'talent', we have to invest on our own people as well.

" you can't really blame them or the government" ????!!!!!!
Another delusional alert!!!! Another delusional alert!!!! Another delusional alert!!!!
Sure you might find one of them that turns out to be exceptional, but at what cost? Pay a hundred million dollars for a hundred diamonds and you find one that is worth $1,000,000 while a couple of them is worth $100,000 and you have to discard the rest and " you can't really blame them or the government" ????!!!!!!
Another delusional alert!!!! Another delusional alert!!!! Another delusional alert!!!!

It is more like, there is no chance for the foreigners to be like Dr Chee Soon Juan and be a threat to their themselves and their political party. For dishonorable despots, self and party alwasy come into the equation instead of country first.

I dunno what the rest is pissed of about, I dunno what AndrewPKYap is pissed off about. I know what I am pissed off about.
I'm pissed off that our dear gahmen takes money to throw at these ah tiongs, instead of throwing it at me to help me subsidise my school fees. A bit sad that as a citizen, I am less privileged than an ah tiong.

interestingly.... i agree with you... i don't see the rationale for NOT giving poly students their bus privilege. -
in that case, shouldn't uni students be given the bus priviledge too?

Ar. Uncle Andrew is always angry.. Im sure everyone here is used to it by now.
I understand where you are coming from. I sorta faced/may face the same situation as you did. That is why I said the government has to invest more on it's people! But we do need foreign scholars coming in, but at the same time we do not want these scholars just using as a stepping stone to other things, as such we have to beef up the liberal nature of the current policy, the anybody just come mentality just would not do. But that said, think abt it, most of these scholars who leave their country are ppl who aspire for greater things, right? So by that, every scholar we sponsor is a risk we take. But a risk we need to take, given our situation. I haven't been in singapore schools in a while, but what I hear from my friends, these china ppl are being outwardly ostracized in school, and made to be unwelcomed. I know I'll be shot by Uncle Andrew for saying this. But how we expect to keep the very best, when we don't even welcome them as one of our own. That is the struggle for our government, there can pour in millions into this, but if Singaporeans are not supportive of this influx, it just wouldnt work out. Which is why they need to do more for Singaporeans to make them feel that they are not being ignored at the expense of these foreign scholars. To this, I think the administration has not done well.

not the same as JC
Only can buy bus pass and MRT pass. But if we count like that, poly students can also buy bus pass and MRT pass.
