Got say any thing about not giving any more scholarships to PRC or not? NTU got many leh.

I recall not being able to get in both NTU or NUS after application twice after ORD and I have a mainland Chinese colleague who graduated from NUS, I become mentally imbalance.

Just saw on TV news last night. It mention that gov cannot add much more places in Uni for Sporeans because if there are too many Sporean uni grads, likely many cannot find a job when graduate later.

This is like a contradiction. On one hand gov tell us spore dont have enough talent so we keep getting uni grad from India and Philippines on Spass of EP because not enough spore grad to fill the job i suppose. Now gov say too many local grads and worry that later they cannot find jobs ?

I think the MOE and gahment need to be kick at the butt. What has U education got to do with getting jobs? Even without U education, one may not get a job too.

BTW if the U grad can't get a job locally, can always fly to other countries. Do the reverse like FT.
