Redbean

In the land where I do not read the language, I depend on blogs for my reading pleasure and mind stimulation.  I decided to go to Redbean blog aka Chua Chin Leng.  I like his analysis of the Singapore Education system.  Singapore ranked top in worldwise tests for 14 and 15 years old.  Singaporeans grew up with unemployable skills set.  Foreigners create jobs for Singaporeans.  Interesting to highlight the paradox. 

Coming into Nagoya, we have to queue for more than an hour and half to get to immigration.  There are 5 immigration officers for Japanese but only two or three for foreigners even though the queue for foreigners is extremely long.  In Singapore before the electronic gantries, there were only two immigration officers for Singaporeans and at least 5 to 6 immigration officers for foreigners.  Yes, we want tourists at that time.  Today, we want foreigner workers.  Seem like we are obsessed with non-Singaporeans to create jobs for incapable and inept natives.  My cousin was married to a NUS PhD in Physics.  He is a lecturer in NUS but it discriminated at work as his PhD is from a Singapore University.  Made-in-Singapore means low quality, inferior product.
