Local NTU student questions why foreigners enjoy better lives than him

My son finished National Service last year and entered Nanyang Technological university (NTU)’s Engineering 2nd year program as he was a polytechnic graduate. He has been staying in the hostel and interacting with most of his foreign friends.

For many years he has been apathetic towards politics and was rather pro-PAP like his mother and always felt I was too negative and even xenophobic. In the last 6 months it seems his views have been challenged and his support for PAP is wavering, though he is still too proud to admit it.

He has begun to question and discuss with his NTU Singaporean friends on the impact of foreigners. Now he realizes that these foreigners get scholarships, free boarding and meals and even $400 allowances every month while his Dad does not have CPF and has to fork out cold cash cash for his tuition and expenses.

He even lamented that his sterling NS contribution as a combat fit officer meant little to our government. For the first time, he felt like a 2nd class citizen in his own country where he was once proud to serve and protect with his life!!!

There's no certainty in investing, be it in property, start ups, stock market or any form of business. It is also the same as investing money in educating talented people. The government does it due diligence and hopes for the best. It is called 'calculated risk'. And the government hedges its bets by investing in many talented foreigners, in case a handful turns out to be disappointments or end up dead or maimed prematurely.

fantastic! a government that BETS (gambles) on foreigners instead of their own people. if they hate us so much, they should get the Fuck out of government. but they can't as they know they will be lynched by their beloved citizens the minute they lose control. the citizenry is waiting for the opportunity to throw the holy book back at them.
