Guest Guest2 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hang his severed head at Changi arrival hall as a warning to the rest coming in. What will MP Baey say to this? Is he going to ask us to empathise with the guy and reflect on why the CityCab driver and cleaner were chosen to be assaulted/killed? What stupid mitigating reasons will be provided again? Please spare us all the cut-and-paste excuses.So sad to see Singapore come to this state. We used to be so safe and efficient under the founding leaders. Who will stand up for Singaporeans when we're bullied by violent foreigners? Condolences to the poor victim's wife and children.I'm not against FTs but they really need to recognise that they have to follow rules if they live here and not think they can do whatever they wish + get away with murder (literally).

Wow.This is very serious.Taking away someone's child is extremely tragic.Just imagine, if the kidnap victim is a girl - she would be raped and made a prostitute.And if the kidnap victim is a boy, he would have his hands chopped and made a beggar.Anyone who is convicted of kidnapping or attempted kidnapping should be sent to jail and the keys thrown away.However, what I am hearing from the MIB is that Singaporeans should not spread "unsubstantiated rumours" :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Talent buy becomes sore point(Synopsis: Plenty of tertiary education is offered free to lure in the region’s promising youths. Trouble is most of them take it and leave.)A PRC "talent" on MOE scholarship who said, "There are more dogs than humans in Singapore".IF you don’t have enough local talent, buy it from abroad whether in sports or research science – beginning with schools and universities.This attitude is reflected in Singapore’s oft-expressed fears that declining birthrates will threaten its long-term survival.In addition, Singapore aspires to be an international city to attract the top brains and the wealthy.Its solution to prevent a falling population has been dramatic.Virtually an entire populace has been imported in the past 10 years, raising the dense population by two-thirds, from three million to five million.It begins from pre-teens and secondary schools.But it is at university level, where thousands of foreigners are given free scholarships that the controversy is upsetting locals, particularly those who can’t afford it.To the government, expanding the talent pool is crucial for the economy.Since the birthrate is declining, why not import youngsters from the region by the thousands, especially from China and Asean, to come and study here free of charge?The issue is developing into a budding controversy with critics labelling it as a short-cut development of human resources through imports rather than focusing on home talents.It is not only pursued in sports, where young foreign winners are brought in to win gold medals, but also extends to bio-medical research scientists.The issue took to the media last month when the government revealed in Parliament that at least 2,000 scholarships worth S$36mil were awarded each year to overseas students.Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Education Sim Ann said that most of these scholars served out their bonds and the few who defaulted were made to pay liquidated damages. No number of bond-breakers was given.It is not known if the total included a large number of scholarships by companies linked to the government, like Singapore Airlines, Neptune Orient Lines and Singapore Press Holdings.But dishing out so many pre-tertiary and university scholarships to foreigners is becoming a sensitive issue.Getting a degree has always been a life-long dream of most Singaporean parents and youngsters, many of whom spend thousands of dollars in private tuition every month.However, to the government, it is crucially important for Singapore’s future.The (then) Minister for Education, Tharman Shanmugaratnam (now DPM and Finance Minister), said several years ago: “We must continue to take in foreign students from all over Asia, and the world. Each of them brings a different bit of the world into our schools, and into Singapore.”They are required to serve a three-year bond after graduation, but to locals this is a double blow since they’ll have to compete also on the job front.For years, the idea had been knocked into Singaporeans' heads that their low birthrates – not unusual in developed countries – are a threat to their future survival.Actually, the government is not wrong in saying that the world is witnessing a sharp contest for foreign skilled personnel; every country big and small (including China) wants an infusion.They want to lure in skilled foreigners or wealthy investors to generate prosperity, but few do it to Singapore’s extent.As far back as 25 years ago, I met a professional Canadian recruiter in one of Hong Kong’s posh hotels.The competition for global talent was then already rising.The gentleman’s job was to “persuade” Hong Kong’s residents to migrate to some of Canada’s less developed regions.The timing was good, he thought, since many Hong Kongers were worried about China’s takeover.“We wanted professionals and entrepreneurs, not the Li Ka Shing level, but the poorer millionaires. We’re sure they can make our sleepy provinces come alive,” he said.If it is so crucial, why are Singaporeans objecting so vehemently?Mainly, people are annoyed over the loss of opportunities and salary undercutting by these newcomers from poorer countries.Besides, as former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew once admitted, the majority came to enjoy the scholarships, not to settle down.They use Singapore as a jumping-off point for the West.Lee once remarked that if only 20% settled here, the government would be satisfied. As a general rule, taking in foreign students adds value to tertiary studies.“Besides, some scholarship students return home to assume top posts in the government or private companies, which can help smooth bilateral relations with Singapore.Critics point out that a limited number of top foreign students is generally an asset to any university, but few are subsidised the way they are in Singapore.In the United States, the premium institutions set very strict entry requirements and charge foreigners higher fees than locals.“Compared with other countries, Singapore likely has a larger proportion of scholarships taken up by foreign students as compared to locals,” said David Loong.Opposition Reform Party politician Lim Zi Rui criticised the government for treating Singaporeans as second, and even third, class citizens when it comes to education.He said: “Our local students lose out, lose the chance, even though they are of the same calibre.”The rapid intake of foreign students and professors, many of whom are poor in English, may have been one cause for the drop in rankings of Singapore’s two top universities.The National University of Singapore had fallen from 18th in the world in 2004 to 34th in 2010, according to Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings.And Nanyang Technological University dropped from 50th to 174th position.

Guest Guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 It’s ALL and ALWAYS about MIW replacing Singaporeans for votes, never about improving lives or caring for the nation. Don't forget this! So for all the MIW cares, they can even hire mamasans as health industry workers (OMG) as long as they vote for MIW. Singapore is now undergoing the biggest social genocide the world has ever seen, and this will not stop until the instant citizens outnumber natives by at least 3 to one. This way the MIW can still stay in power with 2:1 odds, the vile shameless MIW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 The outcome of the Sun Xu saga is out.http://www.channelne...1191310/1/.htmlSINGAPORE: The National University of Singapore (NUS) has taken disciplinary action against undergraduate scholarship holder Sun Xu, the Chinese national who came under fire in February for making offensive remarks about Singaporeans online.In a circular to students from NUS Provost Tan Eng Chye, NUS said 25-year-old Sun Xu's remarks were "improper, insensitive and disrespectful to the community".Its board of discipline has given him an official reprimand, slapped him with a $3,000 fine and further required Sun Xu to perform three months' community service before he's allowed to graduate.NUS has also informed Sun Xu that his undergraduate scholarship benefits have been terminated for the final semester as his behaviour was unbecoming of a scholarship holder.Sun is an MOE scholar but NUS is the administrator of his scholarship.The final-year engineering student posted on his blog last month that "there are more dogs than humans in Singapore", describing how some people would stare at him after he brushed against them in public.NUS said his remarks had stirred up considerable unease, distrust and ill-will within and beyond the university community.Sun has since apologised for his remarks and removed his blog post.NUS said the discipline board's decision sends a clear and strong signal that the university does not condone such actions.- CNA/wm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passengers usually would not notice as they were either sleeping, working on their PCs or watching inflight movie videos. The airline and its crew members were alerted by the police of the trend.On Sun (25 Mar), a crew member noticed a passenger removing a laptop bag from an overhead compartment while on board an SIA flight from Jakarta to Singapore. The suspect then went to an unoccupied seat and began searching the bag. He was seen removing cash from a wallet and kept the monies in his jacket pocket. The wallet was then placed back into the laptop bag and returned back to the overhead compartment where it was originally stowed.The SIA crew member proceeded to detain the 41-year-old male suspect. Cash of US$5000 which was stolen from the wallet inside the laptop bag belonging to an American passenger was recovered. Another 30-year-old male who is believed to be an accomplice was also detained. Both suspects were handed over to the police at Changi Airport when the plane landed.The two suspects will be charged in Court today (27 Mar) for "Theft with Common Intention" under Section 379, read with Section 34 of the Penal Code, Chapter 224.Commander of Airport Police Division, Deputy Assistant Commissioner of Police Sam Tee said that Police is working closely with SIA in the investigations and complimented the alert crew member. Passengers are advised to exercise caution and to keep their cash and valuables with them while on board the aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 孙旭这个斯文败类在本地因不雅事件居然登上头条,这比刑事记录还严重,他从今肯定没办法在新加坡继续混下去。The fact that he was unrepentant at first shows his attitude and character. He only apologised and removed his comments when he realised he was in deep trouble. Not only that, he sought help from his embassy. What does that tell you? He thinks that his countrymen will bail him out. This is an act of desperation, not of repentance. Would he be truly repentant? I doubt it. You say we should give him the benefit of the doubt? From his initial attitude of defiance, and his subsequent cowardly act of running to his embassy with his tail between his legs, instead of facing up to the trouble he caused, he doesn’t deserve any benefit or sympathy. Learn a lesson and go back to your home country where you belong, we don’t need any of your kind here, there’s more than enough of them here than we can take already.

Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 What has happened to the name and shame applied to other scholars, those who broke their bonds? Sun Xu’s behaviour is worse in comparison.Why was he not named in the Prof’s circular? Didn't all the students who read the circular know who the fictitious-sounding “one of our students”is? Why fight shy of naming a miscreant if the objective is to raise awareness of unacceptable behaviour?I think Sun Xu has got off lightly. The message would have been clearer and stronger if he had been expelled and made to repay all the scholarship money expended on him.

Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 PRC students at NTU are definite no scholars! In my entire life as a student at NTU from 1993 to 1997 and my many times I have been going to NTU for courses from 1997 to 2011, I have NEVER seen Singaporean students shamelessly take food meant for seminar/course/conference participants while those participants are still queueing to get their food. But when the PRC students started to trash our universities, I have seen with my own eyes PRC students eating out of buffet tables NOT meant for others. I have nothing against leftovers being consumed by the students but to take the food when the legitimate course participants are still queueing? That is too much. Sorry, I have no respect for PRC scholars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the email, he complained about the bus service 105, plate number 959K, with a faulty air con. As such, the bus had to stop operating half-way and everyone was asked to get off the bus by the PRC driver.The reader complained, "The question I like to ask SBS is, why did they not do a weekly maintenance on its aircon? This is causing delay to all the passengers who need to rush for work in the morning."He also related an incident that happened when the PRC driver was asking everyone to get off the bus, "The PRC driver asked us all to alight at Lor 2 (Toa Payoh), near the center, speaking to us in Mandarin that the aircon is faulty and someone (has) complained.

Our Bus Captain cancelled the fares of about 30 passengers on board and also issued them with a complimentary bus ticket each as a gesture of goodwill for their next ride."SBS confirmed that the driver spoke in Mandarin, "He spoke in Mandarin and passengers on board generally complied with his instructions. Unfortunately, some passengers did not come forward to tap their cards out from the entrance as they alighted from the exit doors. As a result, their fares were not cancelled. These affected passengers can file a claim for a refund with TransitLink."SBS sought the understanding of passengers when communicating with PRC drivers, "Our Bus Captains from China are put through language courses as part of their training.

I'm really beginning to fail to understand the kind of quality of service SBS is providing nowadays.Not to mention those Mainland Chinese drivers taking for granted 70% of the Singaporean population being ethnic Chinese, while failing to understand that the de facto language used on the island is not Mandarin.What kind of shitty excuse is SBS Transit giving??"Language abilities take time to hone" their mother cb!!If the bus driver was speaking in halting English, that excuse would have been acceptable.But the bus driver was speaking in Mandarin, and with a heavy PRC accent at that (we all know these PRC types from the second or third-tier inland cities have heavy accents).Is SBS Transit trying to make excuses for these PRC bus drivers' poor or inexistent command of English?They're completely oblivious to the fact that Singapore is a multi-racial, multi-lingual society, and that the lingua franca and working language here is English!Screw these PRC bus drivers who can't speak English, ask them to get out of the service line if they can't speak English, what would happen in an emergency?

samsara Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yah lah... Hello SBS, we are PAYING YOU to transport us from the start to the end of our journey, not to listen to your excuses such as the non-usage of English in communicating the breakdowns and instructions to the passengers. You really fail. Quote 안녕하세요. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cactus Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Screw these PRC bus drivers who can't speak English, ask them to get out of the service line if they can't speak English, what would happen in an emergency?Screw and get them out of the service line no use mah...Population keep increasing mah. Taxis, cars (COE up again), buses, MRTs, lorries & etc must increase! So, control the population! Right? Reduce the influx of foreigners (foreign talents or foreign workers or whoever) and stop giving Singapore PR like water! .Screw the Government instead!
