That is one way of interpreting it. It is equally possible that Singapore is simply not prominent enough in the international community as an English speaking country.

Wah lau just ask la... At most people or the Sam Leong person say you stupid but hopefully you get an answer right? Don't be like the Sinkies out there, scared to ask because pple say you? Who's the gundu one in the end, those who never ask or scared to ask will never learn...

Please man.... I'm so sick of preggies complaining this kind of shit. Unlike the elderly people, where aging is a NATURAL consequence of living that long, nobody forced her to fuck and get pregnant. Nobody pointed a gun at her and forced to carry baby. You want to be pregnant, deal with the...

Look at the major policies at Goh Keng Swee has implemented and then decide if this joker deserves any praise: 1) Key person to introduce NATIONAL SLAVERY. Too much unemployment problems after independence? Oh easy! Let's enslave half the population!!! Thanks to GKS he has killed and is...

How did the sinkie govt cheat em? Anyway, even if true serves em right!! Foreign trash!!!

Re: One Minute of Silence To Be Strictly Observed In This Forum From 2.30pm to 2.31pm Damn I missed the 1 minute of silence, I would have cursed loudly non-stop during that period. Seriously man... WTF is with the "all hail the legendary GKS" shit? He was the engineer of National Slavery...

The senator troll wasn't interested in a proper discussion but rather spamming the stuff we read on local papers and insisting he is correct. Firstly, he fails to address several key points that others have brought up. For my case, he fails to acknowledge that strong possibility that...

Ok, I rest my case. The troll is obviously a fine brainwashed product of this country's education. I'm afraid the condition is terminal.

I thought we were talking about education, why da fuck do idiots like you need to pull in military strength of the Aussies? Seriously, where da fuck did that come from?! Obviously you have shot yourself in the foot. You already admitted that only UK accepts Singapore as an English-speaking...

Thanks for providing me some entertainment this evening. Quoting Times University ranking shows how *little* you know about university rankings you retarded troll... Nobody in a fucking right mind would quote Times University ranking (save NUS who are desperately trying to promote...

Actually, the NUS Engineering & Comp Sci ranking of 21st worldwide may be inflated. Ranking is broadly based on 3 criteria according to their methodology: 1) Score on HiCi: How many "big shots" the institution has in the field 2) Score on PUB: How many papers the institution publishes 3)...

Yes, a 80-ish ranking is considered shit actually, in case you were not aware of it. At that rank (anything below 50), it's basically classified as a so-so research university. Here's the rankings for local universities (source: http://www.arwu.org/) Natural Sciences and Mathematics -...

I think you are in the wrong forum, if you think you can blindly quote statistics to glorify the local education system. I will concede that local education (up till Secondary School) does has its merits (sort of) as it provides a strong foundation in the Maths & Science in comparison to other...

Yeah scroobal, I think you got that right. Perhaps I should have mentioned that in the first post, if it wasn't obvious enough. My question was in context of assimilating in a foreign culture. I guess I'll figure it out (or not) eventually...

In any case, majority of the people here seem to agree that Singapore accent for us adults (past age 16) is difficult to get rid of completely. For those who have migrated, perhaps you can share on how having a Singaporean accent is problematic in your integration with the overseas community...

The consensus seems to be Singlish is easy to get rid off with practice and constant awareness of words not to use and correcting pronunciation. Accent on the other hand is more challenging. I don't really agree with the idea that adults can't change accent. I have no doubts it would be...

For those bros living overseas be it PR or already a citizen in another country, what are your experiences of getting rid of the Singaporean Accent & Singlish? Normally how long does it take before you can pass off sounding like a native speaker in that country? Any tips or suggestions on how...

I'm moving overseas for further studies this coming Fall. Being a male citizen in this terrible country, I realized that I needed the govt "permission" to be out of the country for such an extended period. by applying for an Exit Permit... which is just fucking ridiculous. I haven't got PR...

excellent news!!! This just made my day!!! Fucking prc!!!

Oh yeah forgot about OPT too, I heard recently OPT increased to 29mths :) As for H1B1 visa I am aware, but I heard a condition is that you must return to SG when it expire and cannot apply for Green Card while you are on it? "The H1B visa category allows for “dual intent” where the foreign...
