'Defending the practice of withholding original results slips due to
fee arrears as one that is “long-standing”, MOE responded the next day
and said that the student can still progress to secondary school using
the photocopy of the results slip.
Asserting that the issue was “not about recovering the money,” MOE
explained that the funding for each primary school student amounts to
about S$12,000 each year and that students are expected to co-pay S$13
of miscellaneous fees every month.'
The above comments were posted in theindependent.sg in an article about the withholding of PSLE result slip from a 12 year old girl because her parents owe the MOE $156 in school fees. For the moment just ignore the plight of the poor little innocent victim, a result of either poor or irresponsible parents. I had a discussion with a teacher and his response was that it did not affect the little girl at all. This is a typical unthinking civil servant's reaction when their policies and actions are being challenged. Really, the little girl is so innocent and naive, gong gong, did not know what happened and would not be affected. OK, put this aside as well.
Just look at the quoted cost of educating a primary school kid, $12,000 a year or $1,000 a month. In a class of 40, the cost would be $40,000 a month! Holy Ghost, is this true? The cost of educating 40 students is $480,000 a year.
This is how expensive the Singapore primary education is. I would not bother to dispute or find out in details how this number is derived, true or fake, it really does not matter. What matters is that it is so expensive. And many of these expensively educated children will end up as food delivery boys and girls, taxi or Grab drivers or doing part time jobs, not good enough to be employed full time. And they need to be replaced by fakes or cheats from half past six education systems of third world countries.
Why waste so much money producing duds and useless graduates? If one would to include the cost of secondary education, colleges and universities, the amount to educate one Singaporean student is phenomenon. Probably the highest in the world.
I thought after paying so much for their education, they should be useful and be put to good use, not as food delivery boys and girls. Or at least they should be able to recover the cost of their education. But to end up as delivery boys and girls or worse, how could one justify such a huge investment to educate a child in Singapore? How much does it cost to educate a fake or cheat from third world half baked education system?
What do you think?

Li Ka Shing, Hong Kong's fallen superman
Anyone wondering why financial wealth is also called fortune? He made a fortune, amassed a fortune. Is it because the making of such wealth is in some way related to being fortunate, being lucky? Heard of lucky fools and why the smartest human beans often are quite ordinary in wealth or fortune, just merely getting by?
Li Ka Shing is China's or Asia's richest man. Many Chinese in Hong Kong, very rich, though not as rich as him, have contributed their wealth and fortune to the state and society. Chow Yun Fatt contributed all his wealth to charity. There are many that contributed hundreds of millions of their wealth, as much as 80 or 90 per cent to charity or state. One very rich Hong Kong billionaires built hundreds of schools in China as his contribution to state and society.
The equivalents in the West, like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, have pledged their fortunes to charity as well, to help the needy around the world. These men have realised that they could not possibly make use of all their wealth in several lifetimes. The financial wealth becomes in a way meaningless the more they make. Making another few millions or another few hundred millions would not change their lives.
Li Ka Shing is in such a fortunate position, money jiat buay leow for several generations. Why would he not use some of his spare cash to contribute to society, not that he is not. But why would he fell on the wrong side of the state by not doing so? It is hard to explain why such rich billionaires would do what they are doing, in this case, Li Ka Shing, the most important man in Hong Kong and perhaps China, monetary wise, to jeopardise all the goodwill he had by doing something so contrary and now likely to be disowned by China and never to return? His support for the independence movement and mass protests is now openly spoken.
He has all the wealth and good fortune to do many things for Hong Kong and the Hongkongers, like sharing or distributing his land holdings to build more affordable housing for the Hongkongers. Perhaps by supporting the mass protests and independence movement is what he thinks is where he should put his money with. Is this the right thing, the wise thing to do? Or is this a moment to expose his limited intellect and wisdom?
Li Ka Shing does not need to spend much of his huge fortune to remain in the good books of Beijing and earns himself a fine mention in the history of China and Hong Kong. He chose to do and act differently, believing that what he was doing was the right and good for Hong Kong and the Hongkongers.
History will tell whether he did the right or wrong thing. Would he be resurrected as a saviour of China and Hong Kong? Or would he go down in Chinese history as a traitor to China and the Chinese Civilisation? His wisdom is now being questioned and will be judged sometime in the future for backing a right or wrong cause.
This Hong Kong superman can only fly in the skies of America and Europe, anywhere, except China and Hong Kong. He may even lose his citizenship and has to take up foreign citizenship after this fiasco is over.
PS. I have put up a link on the left column for a new blog by my good friend Dr Teo Kah Beng, Asia Pacific Security. This is a more serious and intellectual blog for those who want to read something more challenging. There are also some entertaining postings and videos for a little relaxation. Please take a look.

TED Talks - Eric X Li - A tale of two political systems
https://www.ted.com/talks/eric_x_li_a_tale_of_two_political_systems?language=en#t-4533
Above is a talk by Eric X Li on the competition of two alternative political systems, Democracy and Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Erix presented a view that is contrary to the daily barrage of western narrative, bragging about how good and successful democracy is.
It is a short 17 minute video that compares the realities of two contrarian systems and how they performed, not rhetoric. The West have been pushing the democratic model as the model for all mankind and the model to solve human problems and the quality of life. The truth of practising democratic countries is far from it. Democratic system is not producing the results it claimed to be and in fact on a steep decline with failures everywhere, including the USA and European countries.
Listen with an open mind and judge for yourself based on realities and not beliefs and should be, could be, must be, or cannot be.

US brutal killings of Middle East muslims contrast to China's re-education and vocational institutions in Xinjiang
The United States has for decades been staging orange revolutions to take down governments which do not toe US dictates. It first attempted a coloured revolution in China in the Tiananmen riots in Beijing in June 1989. In its earlier opening up to the world China was naive to let thousands of US NGOs ( Non-Government Officers ) flooding all the educational institutions to teach from secondary schools to the universities. These NGOs are actually US spies and espionage agents paid by US government to subvert China. These NGOs had succeeded to brain wash and indoctrinate the students to go against the Chinese government. With US initiation, support and funding the students managed to stage protests and riots against the government. After seven or more weeks of rioting the government took firm action to quell the riots. Thus the US supported coloured revolution was nibbed in the bud. However, all the student ring leaders were whisked away by CIA agents to Taiwan and America. So in this Tiananmen Incident the United States failed in its attempt to carry out a successful coloured revolution against China.
Then from 2005 till 2015 the United States had been trying to create and support an Uyghur Islamic revolution in the Chinese province of Xinjiang. Many US trained,funded and supported extreme militant Uyghur terrorist and separatist leaders carried out grave terrorist acts from 2005 to 2012 in various parts of China though largely in Xinjiang killing many hundreds of innocent victims which included largely the Han and some Uyghur ethnic race.
The situation was grave and China had to find a solution to de-radicalised the extreme muslim militants who were trained, funded and supported by US via CIA. Thus from around 2015 China built educational and vocational centres to de-radicalise the militants and train them in some skills in vocational jobs to equip them for useful work in society. However, the despicable trouble making Americans and the Europeans try to stoke ill-feelings and animosities among the muslims in islamic societies against China by fabricating the story of China ill treating the militant Uyghur separatists in labour camps. In the meantime more than forty countries including many from muslim countries like Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Somalia, Kazakstan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgystan went on a study survey in Xinjiang and they put paid to American lies.
Contrast the wanton cruelty of the White Americans and the Europeans brutal killings and genocide of the Middle East militant Arab muslims to that of China's re-education and vocational institutes in the Chinese province of Xinjiang. The Chinese government is just taking remedial action to quell an American organized separatist and terrorist orange revolution in China's own country. But the white Americans and the Europeans have no business to be in Arab lands in the Middle East except just for the greed and single motive of occupying Arab muslim lands for hegemony and for the total control of the rich Arab oil resources.
What the world must know is that the white Americans just like their European cousins always have had a grim negative outlook and hatred for muslims. For many centuries from the 9th Century AD to the 19th Century AD they had constantly conducted endless Christian crusades to crush the Arab and Turkish Ottoman muslims and to take away their lands. Then after the First World War and the Second World War many of the Middle East countries were turned into British or American protectorates meaning British and American control or virtually their colonies. Eventually most of the Middle East countries gained full independence after mush struggle. However they still had to fight off the American, British and French greed for control of their oil industries. Eventually they gained full control of the oil industries but at the same time they were trapped by the sly sleazy American government to trade their oil in US control Petro-Dollars. The result of which let the Americans, England and France take the cream of the petrol business while all the Arab muslim countries earned only the crumbs or left overs. Realising they were at the losing end in conducting oil trade in US control Petro-Dollars Iraq and later Libya under the presidency of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi respectively chose to also trade oil in Euros and Libyan gold dollars. For this they had to pay for their life when their countries were attacked in an undeclare illegal and illicit war by the United States and its European accomplices ' Both Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi were tracked down and brutally murdered by the Americans and their lackeys.
In the meantime the Evil Empire USA had been training thousands of Islamic militant terrorists the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Isis to fight the Soviet Russians in Afghanistan. Then came the fateful date September 11th of 2001 when the twin towers of World Trade Centre in New York was claimed to be brought down by Al Qaeda suicidal Arab militant terrorist pilots who crashed their planes directly into the twin towers and the Pentagon Military Complex. This was later revealed by qualified sources to be a major evil macabre conspiracy between American Jews who had infiltrated and wield great power in US Foreign Policy and Israel zionist Jews to stage a catastrophic event to provide a justifiable excuse for attacks and wars against seven Middle East Arab countries so as to save Israel from being vanquished by its Arab neighbours. It seemed the twin towers were brought down by control demolition with remote control mechanism. The whole episode had been secretly well planned in advance. The planes that crashed into the twin towers were actually remote control drones. The world had been deceived but the Arab muslims had to pay dearly for their lives and destruction of their countries and the lost of their oil resources to the evil Americans and the Europeans..
After 9/11 the United States illegally and unilaterally declared war against Iraq and later Libya and Syria against the opposition of the United Nations Organisation. The United States and its European allies and the Israel Jews carried out endless sorties of jet bombers, missiles, rockets and drones to drop millions of tons of bombs indiscriminately on Iraqi towns and cities which was later repeated on Libya in 2011 and Syria in 2015. The Americans claimed they were bombing the Arab muslim terrorists the ISIS which were originally organized and nurtured by the white Americans and that the hundreds of thousands or millions of Arab civilians death were simply brushed aside as collateral damage. The truth is that the White Americans and Europeans think Arab muslim lives are cheap and so killing them is not a problem especially when the killings are carried out without conscience or feelings by bombers and missiles . In fact the white Americans and Europeans feel great with no remorse as the destructions of properties and the killings and genocide were all done by remote bombers and missiles where they personally do not see blood or witness the horrific pain and suffering of the thousands of survivors who were maimed for life.
In the meanwhile thousands of extreme militant muslims were tracked down and either shot forthwith or kept in concentration camps to face inhuman torture .
These speak so much of White Americans and white Europeans extreme cruel treatment of militant muslims and their utter serious disrespect and contempt for muslims in general. Watch and observe how they illtreat the muslims in America .
However the white Americans and the Europeans are not happy when they see China is helping all Middle East and African muslim countries to rise up and develop economically and while at the same time these muslim countries are moving closer to China and Russia. Thus for this they have no qualms in fabricating lies and fake stories about China's poor governance in the treatment of Uyghurs so as to stir up misunderstandings, hatreds and animosities among the world muslims for China and the Chinese people. Hopefully the muslims world wide will be wise enough to see the evil plots of the white Americans and the Europeans who dislike and disapprove of China's selfless help for all the muslim and other third world disadvantaged countries whom the white people feel with disdain as not their equals.

Do we trust our children are among the best in the world?
In an article today by Sandra Davie, entitled “It’s OK to be No. 2 in academics, but aim to top student well-being”, she raised a few chSingapore has done it again by securing 2nd place in Pisa. It means we are still operating at the top level (China was 1st, Macau was 3rd, HK 4th in some subjects) when it comes to excelling in Maths, Science and Reading. Also, at the last three occasions (beginning at 2009), we were top.
The above is posted by a Michael Han in TRE.
I just want all of you to ponder, why would these world best students, for many years we were top, being treated as useless and untalented and consistently being replaced by CECA Indians that were unplaced in the PISA test? PISA is an international organisation and tested and deemed our students as world best. But our very own idiots in Singapore are treating our world best students as daft and systematically replacing them by third world fakes and conmen!
What is the scheme of things? Is there a master plan behind this cleansing of Singapore's DNA? Who is the mastermind behind this anti Singaporean scheme?
I feel very sorry for the younger Singaporeans, that with their PISA performance they would only end up as Grab drivers and security guards. All the top positions in Singapore are increasingly filled by CECA Indians and third world fakes. Their PISA scores are only good for gloating for a day or two and would soon be forgotten.
Can you believe this, Singapore idiots replacing our world best own children with third world fakes and cheats they called them talents?
Mind you, Pisa is a gruelling assessment. The benchmark is against 600,000 students from 79 countries and economies. We had sent at random 6,676 teens, most of whom were in Secondary 4. It is a reliable gauge of how far we have come and what we have done right to hone our future generation’s critical thinking skills and personal resilience.
Mr Sng Chern Wei, MOE’s deputy director-general said: “We are pretty happy with the 2018 Pisa findings because they show that our students are equipped with the critical skills and the resilience to cope with the challenges of a rapidly changing world.”
ampagne toasts to our educators for the results. She noted that we are heading in the right direction when it comes to critical thinking. “Remembering formulas or chunks of content won’t do. Pisa’s questions require students to use their knowledge and skills to solve problems in unfamiliar contexts.”....The above is posted by a Michael Han in TRE.
