Quote:“But we believe that many of the courses are likely to cost more than S$4,000. To further facilitate skills training and help Singaporean workers, the government should introduce an interest-free SkillsFuture education loan,” said Mr Singh, noting that this proposal was “front and centre” of the party’s manifesto for the 2020 General Elections.

Opportunity to raise course fees. Course providers will take the cue from him to raise prices. "Most courses are likely to cost more than $4,000" Expensive never mind can take interest free loan.

No big school logo, the course you attended actually can’t put into good use. Provided you attended many many courses to show employers you are all rounded lah.
