Achtung7 Neutral Newbie December 30, 2010 Share December 30, 2010 I think most people in a lot of forum confuse Foreign Workers for Foreign Talent. Most of the foreigners in Singapore are Foreign Workers, NOT Foreign Talent. True.. I amend my post to FW.. but even when we talk about FT.. those with phd.. what good are they when they can't carry out the supossedly primary tasks... when i was in NTU in the early 90s.. a lot fo the lecturers are indian and chinese who speak with such a strong accent that most of the time the students can't understand.. for a small class, it's not too bad, but to 200+ pple in a large LT.. you can see most pple sleeping or doing other things.. sometimes I wonder, what is the purpose of bringing these FTs who cannot perform their primary function of delivering lectures.. and I also wonder... if they are brought in for the purpose of delivering lectures or just to replace those lecturers who are not addressed as Dr So-and-so... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahtong 1st Gear December 30, 2010 Author Share December 30, 2010 That's the incident that set the benchmark. Don't know whether you guys remember or not but many years ago this guy jumped in front of an MRT. When it was revealed how impoverished his family was, many people rushed in to donate. Credit to the widow, she used the donations to pay off the funeral expense and gave the rest to charity. But I guess the mentality of other countries are not the same. I actually feel sorry for the Sentosa Ah Sia, can't help but have a nagging suspicion that the hooker's family want "compensation" precisely because he is rich.

Galantspeedz Turbocharged December 30, 2010 Share December 30, 2010 we can't stop people from doing what they want with the money.... if stupid, i think donating to those charities on TV is lagi more stupid..... think about it.... If it is about donating money..... why must telco charge when we call in to donate? telco can't afford to open the lines for free? since those big companies cannot even give some support.... if want to donate... i rather write chq.... anyway this big charities need money meh? a few that appear on TV before.. we all know what happened to the money....

Well, the company that monitoring those calls are charging for the services that makes up the 30c charges per call....... If you can remember the NKF case where the girl M. Chua set up a company just handling those calls and makes a lot of money...... since it is for charity, they should provide free services ......

Totally agree on this, if you wanna do charity than do all the way. To be frank, I really lost trust in the so call charity shows done by our local media. I rather give the person directly than to contribute to the media, not knowing what is the actual % of the amount I donate goes to the person in need. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
