im glad you mentioned tuition grant.
foreign students have free access to tuition grants paid by Singaporean taxpayers.
http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/edu/UG/fees.html
yes, stupid Singaporeans like you have naively believed foreign students pay their degree fees in full!
whats that amount you gave?? $19000?
$19000 x 13371 foreign students = $254 049 000
that is $254 MILLIONS every 4 years paid by SINGAPOREANS TAXPAYERS.
eat that!

hello Fong
congratulations, you just opened up a can of worms. let me show you how NUS and NTU gave skewed statistics.
lets talk about NUS and NTU alone:
20% of NUS undergrads are foreigners, 0.2 x 23900 = 4780
50% of NUS postgrads are foreigners, 0.5 x 9100 = 4550
20% of NTU undergrads are foreigners, 0.2 x 20206 = 4041
foreign students actual number = 13371
the above figure exclude scholarships and PRs(whose statistic are mixed with Singaporeans under the name of "Singapore students")
now tell me we cant find 13371 Singaporean student who qualify for university. what kind of foreigner-first approach is this by PAP?
we Singaporeans are short-changed. the male serve NS only to have our university places snatched by foreign students. and i laughed out loud when SM Goh called us "quitters"!
