Ah..sensitive issues once again....

TPJC.net forums...part...I lost count...

So, Jasmine Kum, one heck of a tutor which I dislike, decided to be clever and start a sensitive issue....

EDIT: This looks like some kind of moronic GP question. There are 2 such threads, and people are answering in groups of three. Seesh. KEEP YOUR OWN STUPID LESSONS AT CLASS.

Foreign Students make good citizens?

As a GP tutor, I would have at least expected some kind of an essay or something.

Of course, I'm wrong. All she had was that.

First of all, Foreign students are not citizens...as they are... "foreign".

As usual, the thread started off cleanly.

Then...

But these foreign students need to get a reality check , OUR parents pay taxes to the government.Money that can be well spent on our locals and nuturing them to good professionals.But by importing one foreign student we are denying one local student of a good education or even a place in university.Besides some of the foreign student i met are very arrogant and snobbish , they think they are doing our country a favour by studying here but the fact is that we are paying for their education.Their arrogance is unacceptable, WE do need competition but a thin line seperate arrogance and confidence.What we should do now is to limit the amount of foreign students coming in or even better , we should ensure locals get a chance first before those foreigners!

I seriously ****ing resisted the impulse to flame the **** out of this guy. Right..SO THE $200+ we pay every 3 months isn't called SCHOOL FEES? You met some who are snobbish and arrogant. I can also name you a few that are arrogant and snobbish who are singaporean. Are all foreign students snobbish? You can get a place in the University, IF YOU STUDY HARD ENOUGH. How many PRC/Foreign students study here? a few thousand? Heck, I doubt quite a few make it to JCs in the first place, not that they can't head to Uni from a Poly. How many local students are trying to take a place? I don't see how I can be a goddamned competition. All these crap about Local students being competition is already crap. We just want to study here. Isn't Singapore's education on of the tops? Something which is being boasted about once in a while? Seesh. Moron.

Good citizens??!

Singapore is only a stepping stone for these foreign students. These talented pool of people come to Singapore for only one motive-- to further their education. Hence, in order to achieve their motive they would have to ''act'' as good citizens. (i.e obey the laws of Singapore )

Isn't it because of Singapore having an excellent education? Act as good citizens? Does it mean that once we head back to our main countries, we become ruthless thugs? >_>

foreign students???good citizen???
tho they obey law in the country i still don't think that they are good citizens..they simply come here just for the sake for their future..they don care how's the country's situation where they are in now neither do they care about the country's environment...they just simply obey the law of the country and do wateva they need to do...they just do for the sake of doing...they arent sincere about doing anything for the country they are in...

What if we are? Why must such idiots be so myopic?

Sigh, the whole damned topic is full of such morons. I have no idea what to reply at times as well, without flaming them. Good citizens...or bad citizens....

Gah. Seriously, if these people have problem with foreigners, then why don't they try surviving alone? China did that, but they can't survive, and hence they have to open their doors. I'm not saying that all Singaporeans are so myopic, as I have met some great friends I'm sure I won't be able to make anywhere, but here are some examples of morons.

Oh wait, foreign students =/= (!=) foreign Entrepreneur? Haha.

Ah well..
