Comment:
My son, 2.5yrs now, has been trying to get into the Govt subsidised Nursery without success over the last 1 yr. Reason given by the Nursery that it is FULL HOUSE. I find it funny as I live in mature estate in Whampoa Area where there should be more elderly than toddlers. Then, surprise to find out that a hugh portion of the nusery students are from foreigner's or PR's kids. So, i have no choice but only to enrol my son to a Private Nursery paying almost $1K a month as compare to below $100 for the Govt subsidised nursery.
Why our countries subsidise Foreigner or PR kids. OR is it that the Govt Nursery prefers to accept Foreigner or PR kids because they pay just slightly more than Singapore kids. If that is the case, I am prepared to pay the same price as the PR's kids which is just twenty dollars more.
Govt, pls wake up. We cant afford to raise Singapore Children if you are really hopeless in yr ministry. Being a PR or Foreigner is deifinitely much better than being a Singaporean.
