Zak7182 Neutral Newbie May 10, 2011 Share May 10, 2011 (edited) Please take a good look at the page you are referring to, it says "Research Staff". These people are in a very specific area of research (photonics), and if you look at research labs anywhere around the world - be it Cambridge, Harvard, ANY university - the research groups are ALWAYS full of people from all nations and ethnicities. That is the nature of research, it is an INTERNATIONAL playground. Here's an example of research staff in Harvard, take a good look at how not all of them are Americans: http://www.aranylab.org/people.htm Sure, we can hire all Singaporeans in our local research lab, but then our competitiveness will never rival that of the top universities. If we insist on hiring only Singaporeans, we would be no better than Malaysia's bumiputera system. And you seen how well that policy works for Malaysia - despite all their resources, they remain slow in growth, high in corruption, a lot more backwards than Singapore. Think about it -would you rather Singapore companies hire only Singaporeans, but be laughed at by the world for how lousy their work is? The only "bumiputera" in Spore are malays. Malaya... Malaysia... Singapura... (catch the drift?) By hiring Singaporeans only does not mean its like Malaysia. Stoopid are you, really.

You are barking up the wrong tree and can see the tree for the forest... This entrie thread and the main topic isn't concern about what type of ppl make up your so called reserch staff.... It is concerned about a certain little country throwing or pouring money on FTs and giving them an expensive education rather thna help or give some of these money to their own citizens for thier education! Now that erection is over till the next time.... 5 years or so from now... Do disappear form MCF now ...and reappear wiser ... 5 years later... O.K?

So_nice 6th Gear May 10, 2011 Share May 10, 2011 wats the point? we still got 60.14% of blind mice whom voted to be closer to their deaths! such money can be used to help our fellow singaporeans. but somewhat, these money gone to FTs are are not even on par with singaporeans. think of the old folks tat needs to live on scraps. we are screwed. we dun haf so many 5 years to repent this mistake.

Fang-qiangqiang Neutral Newbie May 10, 2011 Share May 10, 2011 I got the point, thank you! As a PRC scholar myself, I found on Internet that many Singaporean are complaining about PRC scholarship and some even put the anger on us. But I have to say most Singaporeans I meet are quite nice to me. we not against foreigners but against miw who treat citizens like 2nd class citizens. u will also be better off as citizen when miw treat citizen well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang-qiangqiang Neutral Newbie May 10, 2011 Share May 10, 2011 This is the problem that bothers me a lot! PRC scholarship is only given to Engineering students, and how many engineering girls can there be? less than 30% i'd say. pls bring in more PrC girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fang-qiangqiang Neutral Newbie May 10, 2011 Share May 10, 2011 (edited) Look at the following link for the number of foreign staff/students in our local university. These are not blue collar jobs, mind you. <a href="http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/eee/eee6/phrcweb/staff_research_phrc.asp" target="_blank">http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/eee/eee6/phrcweb/st...search_phrc.asp </a> Ha, this is my school. I am taking engineering course in NTU now. For this thing, the reason may be this: Most of Singaporean engineering students do not like to do research and stay in laboratory all their life. Then how? NTU is a world-class university, there got to be some one doing research! And PRC and India ppl are quite happy to do that. I think half of the lectures I met are foreigner: PRC, indian, Vietnam, canadian, europeans..... and for research staff and PhD, I think PRC and Indian together more than half....
