Foul-mouthed undergrads bicker about foreign students getting more benefits
STOMPer Cyber policeman is stunned by netizens, who are apparently undergraduates, hurling expletives and vulgarities at each other in an online argument about foreign students receiving more benefits here.
The STOMPer is concerned how these foul-mouthed netizens may represent Singapore's brightest students.
"Someone sent me a link to the website given and when I visited the website I was extremely shocked to read the debates and arguments between some of our brightest students in the local universities.
"Some of them claimed to have four As and two S papers.
"They were arguing about the privileges and opportunities of local and foreign students in NUS and NTU. The local students resented the overabundance of foreign students and the extra privileges given to them.
"But what irks me is the type of language and insults they hurled at one another.
"They called each other "morons" and the four letter word was used without any qualms at all.
"If this is a cross section of our future graduates then we have much cause to worry. Why are our undergrads so foul-mouthed and uncouth?
"I am simply stunned."
