We may have swung a little bit the other way where the best of our top students go overseas. I personally don’t think it’s good for Singapore.
Temasek Holdings Chairman, S Dhanabalan

Dirty Words in a Dirty World
Just like what Lee Hsien Loong has said, “Welfare is a dirty word”, scholarship has now become a dirty word too, especially to the commoners.
Other dirty words are “scholars” and “elites” and “millionaire ministers’ pay”.

Other people will accept your talents if you do not cherish your own talents.
Singapore is enjoying what she have today is not because of the leaders but because of the PEOPLE.
The people who left their roots behind for a new beginning & decided to call this land home, the people who had gone through the reign of the terror by the Japanese, the people who had saw that hypocrite cry on national TV. The people who gave their trust & put in their commitments to make the little red dot visible to the world. The people whom pledge their lives to the red & white flag with crescent & their 5 stars & the people called themselves Singaporeans with pride & honor.They laughed at themselves with the home grown cultures such as Singlish, Kiasuism & the national pastime of food.
After 44 years of blood & sweat this group of people & their descendants became disillusioned when they see the fruits of their toil occupied by strangers from afar.The shelter, the education, the income, the identity whom the people rely on are slowly being occupied. The cries of the people are turned to deaf ears only to see the man whom they have trusted for 44 years turn his back on them. The same man whom they saw him cry on national TV.
I serve my NS & my ICTs with pride & honor. Because I tell myself I am not serving the leaders whom abused the power delegated to them by the people. Each time I carry my M16 I carry it for the PEOPLE whom I want to protect. The people whom I call Singaporeans. To hell with the new citizens!! The people here are not to trifled with because you don’t know what it’s like to live on an island nation with no natural resources yet you are enjoying the fruits of the labor which contains the blood & sweat of our forefathers.
Message for the betrayers of the people’s trust & this group of betrayers whom have paid themselves million dollar salaries out of the people’s money. WE CANNOT PROTECT WHAT IS NOT OURS. IF YOU DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR OWN TALENTS, OTHERS WILL!!

Don’t too worry Singapore. 50% of top 10 students are studying in Singapore. 40% are studying in other countries. Only 10% are studying in Myanmar. It is actual figure…
I feel sad for our country. But it’s all right. Anyway, they are contributing themselves and other countries. It is better than nothing.
Cheers!
