Many Singaporeans don't even get opportunity to study unis.

Even if get in we need to pay fees and supoort ourselves.

Govt tells us no need to get degree. Why then are scholarships given to foreigners to pursue degree when there is no need.?

Can someone answer these inconsistencies?

Why not give opportunities to Singaporeans instead of foreigners?

Many Singaporeans are capable of getting degrees but have no opportunities. If parent rich theg are sent overseas and can get a degree, but poorer Singaporeans don't have this chance.

Scholarships and university places are to attract foreigners mah. Since your are already here, scholarship and university places are not needed

[Blasterlord2]

Where in the article says that his allowance is given by our govt?

Dun begrudge foreigners from coming here to study lah.

Only fools would believe that a degree is unnecessary.
You don't need a degree only if you have special parents or you have special skills and abilities.
Peasants better acquire a degree as soon as possible.

They re treating us like we are fools.
Giving university places to foreigners to compete against us.

This thread is not about me lah.

It is abt better opportunity for Singaporeans today the chance of S'poreans going uni is less than half of other developed Asian countries. Yet we give many foreigners the opportunities that Singaporeans don't have.

My chance ia over already and no point revisiting. I have paid for many online courses to learn things myself such as AI and investing. That is good enough for me though I don't have paper qualifications.
