this just isnt right loh...

i quote Tan Thiam Chye, ST Forum, 24/4

In the National University of Singapore Academic Yearbook 2006-2007, the fees
paid by medical students reveal a talent-centred administration to whom
citizenship is worth a few dollars. Compare the following:
• Singapore citizens and permanent residents: Full fees - $81,610. Payment
after tuition grant - $17,010.
• International students: Full fees - $83,310. Payment after tuition grant -
$18,710.

Why do international students take some of the places of our own boys who have
put in 2 1/2 years of national service? Why do foreigners get to pay almost the
same rates as 'fortunate' citizens who win a place at NUS?

wat e hell is wrong with MOE?? totally crap... then y not also subsidise e tuition fees of local students going overseas to study? BULLSHIT
