"S'pore to admit fewer foreigners
Wed, Sep 16, 2009
my paper
SINGAPORE will not continue bringing in as many foreigners as it has done in recent years, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said yesterday.
Many foreigners - more than 100,000 each year, mainly transient workers, but also including new citizens and permanent residents - had been imported in the last few years as the economy had been booming and needed more workers, he said.
But Singapore is not expected to grow at the same rate, so it will not admit foreigners at the same pace, he explained." |

Haha, can teach doesn't mean can 'fight', please don't 'encourage' such kind of idea. You and your family future depend on a good government. I appreciate the peace we have now.....Thanks and act wisely  |

Condom poster in NIE professor's office unsettles students
AN oral sex poster in a professor's office has caused uneasiness among female students.
The poster shows a woman holding an air-filled condom close to her open mouth and accompanied these words: "100% Condoms for oral sex".
Female students have expressed their uneasiness over the poster when entering the office of this associate professor of the Singapore National Institute of Education (NIE).
Disturbed by the poster on the wall, the students of Singapore National Institute of Education (NIE) said they could not concentrate at discussion sessions conducted at the office.
They did not understand why the associate professor, who is in charge of national education, had put up such a poster.
"The poster has got nothing to do with his programmes.
"It is used by the Health Department to promote safe sex and was to be distributed to the prostitutes," the students said.
A reporter from Lianhe Wanbao had gone to check upon receiving a complaint from the students.
When asked if he knew the female students were uneasy with the poster, the professor said he had no comment.
He then returned to his office and closed the door.
Lianhe Wanbao learnt that he has removed the poster.
A spokesperson from NIE said associate professors had posters of various themes such as "no smoking" and "study hard" in their offices.
He said although these posters were not used in the lecture halls, they would be used as supplementary materials in the discussion sessions with students. |

These profs got nothing to do but trying to steam up the female students? |

not quite true on heavily subsidized education for citizen.
my understanding from PRC grads is that our gov privide free education to them in NUS/NTU plus $500 allowance every month.
they find it puzzle too when they are seeing citizen paying high tuition fees and have to work part time to subsidize their own pocket $$ |
Worst is, these 'sponsored' grads, often masters, will compete in the job market with the locals. Disadvantaging locals who has to do NS and no money or time for masters. |

"SINGAPORE universities held a steady position in the latest Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) survey by Jiao Tong University in Shanghai.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) ranked just outside the top 100, grouped with 51 other universities for the 101st to 151st spots.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was ranked outside the top 300, along with 99 other universities between the 303rd to 401st spots."
