An A-level student, who couldn't get into any of the local universities because of his poor result (RP60) was accepted into Australian National University. He was also given offers from UNSW and UWA, though he went to ANU. His parents sold their EM and down graded to a 3 room HDB to fund his education. He has been looking for a job since 2017 upon graduation / returning. No driving licence so no Grab/Uber. Poor parents. Father a retiree is my kopitiam kaki back in Singapore.Only Group of 8 unis are reputable. If u enrol into any other uni, u are super fucked.

A stigma truly exists against graduates from most Australian universities

His parents invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into their son's education so that he can get a $3000 a month job? He would take at least 10 years to pay back his parents if they treated it as a loan. I assume that he's an only child? The parents would be too broke to sponsor a second child for a similar education route.

They are either retards or devious bastard who are egging on the clueless WP to waste more time and money fighting the PAP. Most of the people at the WP rallies are either non-voters in that contested ward, or have no intentions of voting for oppies in the first place. They just want to egg on the WP for entertainment.

It is worthwhile if their children don't come back. ANZ still welcomes Singaporeans. Many ANZ cities are good places to raise kids, eg Perth, Adelaide, etc
Easy to qualify for PR after graduation, enjoy the social welfare and the grand kids get to enjoy ultra high subsidy in education.
Better job prospects if they don't return to SG.
PS: UNSW provides bond-free scholarship for the top 2 students of each diploma course from all polytechnics in Singapore.

Graduate from the undisputed No. 1 University in Australia driving Uber and consigning his parents to a 3-room HDB?

“I got a place of offer. However, despite my grades of a 4.45/5 and my experience in my field of work, NTU did not grant me a scholarship. Disappointed that my country did not recognize my efforts I decided that Id rather do my PhD overseas as I also got an offer with AUT and Latrobe. I took up AUT and now I have a scholarship from AUT. Happy that I got the scholarship, but sad that NTU did not believe in my thesis. Missed out an opportunity to work with prof Liew Kai Khiun and prof pang. I would like to thank prof Kalinga Seneviratne for all the support and advice and also prof Arun.
“Currently, my supervisor is prof VJ from AUT and my secondary supervisor is prof Rufus. Am so happy that these gentlemen are guiding me. Thanks gentlemen for hand holding and guiding me through.”
