YOUR SAY: Should degrees come with an expiry date?

A suggestion in Parliament to put expiry dates on university degrees ignited a heated debate this week. Many TODAY readers disagreed with the suggestion made by Member of Parliament Ang Wei Neng for its impracticality, as well as the costs and time it would take to “refresh” one’s degree. Here’s what some of them had to say.

Dont give him the limelight lah.

Why COP not applied here for this stoopid suggestion?


Ownself check ownself

He is quite stupid to say so. If one do not work in a field of a degree he has, after three years already it is hard to be employed for that again.

all minister also must hv a 5 year expiry date too. so many overdue or expire one still sitting on shelf.

I heard once they work two terms and step down, they will get 2/3 of last monthly paid for life and best medical benefits till they die.

Will MBAs, PHDs also come with expiry date?

Is a judge who went to Law school 20 years ago, accumulated 20 years of real life legal experience, not qualified to be a judge because his law degree expired?

Life is not about chasing paper

It's time for this MP's tenure to be immediately expired. Gosh...the kind of dumb things being said in parliament.

With the vehement condemnation of his silly suggestion,  it is best for him to immediately retract and apologise sincerely for what he said.

Failing to do so may affect the image of the incumbent authorities.

Gov to pay for full fees... mandate coy to comply guarantee full employment benefits with accommodative part studying n working?

Can't we expire PAP or PM Lee every 5 years, too?

Budget debate: MP apologises, says 'time stamp for degree' idea more provocative than needed..
