Good or bad planning only can be realised 5 or 10 yrs later.

At that time, a lot of top students were rejected, so as to spread the talent pool to other sectors. Whether that was a good or bad policy I don't know enough to say.

However, I thought he was not a citizen then but a PR or study visa.
Nowadays, if PRC PR or student get in medicine, lots of netizens will complain about depriving Singaporeans of a place, all the more since the course is so heavily subsidised.

by acting on that complaint, will we not creat more examples of Chen Show Mao?

Ok let me get this straight... Deserving singaporeans who desired to get into medicine cannot get in, good or not, you dunno enough to say. PRC that get full subsidy, you know enough to say that it is like depriving us of the next CSM...

I know enough to say you are full of shit! :oIo:

Its not bad planning, it was deliberately set up like that. PAP policy is to restrict uni space and graduates back than. There were several reasons:
- Too many uni students can be politically bad for them. In every country, its the young uni students that take to the street to protest for political change. SO, the fewer students u have, the better. Only 5% of all Primary 1 students end up in NUS at that time, the only school. In Korea, this number is closer to 30%, and over 20% for Taiwan.
- Universities are money losers, and in the profit minded PAP, the less unis u have, the mor emoney u save.
- NUS Medical degree programs are usually promoted to the children of elites. Restricting admission to the program to mostly elite kids ensure their status in society. U can see there are many singaporean doctors that are in it for the money, and are also from priveliged backgrounds. i am not sure these drs. would have been admitted to a medical school in a western country.
