After reading the ‘14 year old Singaporean vows to leave
Singapore if PAP is not voted out by the next general election’.
The article written by the student has given me a wake up call. I
am also a Secondary School student just like her.
First off, what I would like to mention is that I am literally
being overran by Foreign Students in my school. I agree that they
do provide some motivation for us to catch up and win them.
However, what I cannot accept is that they are not only rude, but
also inconsiderate for others. I had an experience where the
foreign students would just sit at any table they like in the
canteen and throw whoever’s belongings onto the floor just to sit
there – yes, even if there are already students sitting there, they
will just push them off or threaten them.
The foreign students are mostly from Indonesia, a minority of
them are from china though. They usually stick together and do not
welcome others into their group. I would say not a lot of people
pay attention to them but they do piss people off and I would say
my friends and I do not really like them. They shout across to each
other in class in their own language like we are invisible, they
talk loudly everywhere, copy our homework.
Even when they want to copy our homework, they go like “Oi, let
me see” I do not believe that they are from scholarships but rather
they’re family are just plain rich. Also, some of them have the
habit of skipping school for no reason whatsoever, even though we
are having our O lvls this year, some of them can still go clubbing
at night to the wee hours and just report sick the next day. They
also treat our belonging like thrash and just throw it around on
the floor if they want to sit at the place. I do not see my school
doing anything about them even though they skip their CCA’s and
skip school. Sometimes I really wish they would all just pack up
and go back to their country.
Why should these type of people be accepted into our society,
they are only doing more harm than good to it. Also, why is it that
Singaporean’s are a minority in Singapore, doesn’t that just prove
that something is very wrong with the way this country is being
run?
Till this day, I still do not understand why people still vote
for the PAP, when they tell people to send the elderly to Malaysia
while they work in Singapore. I quote from HEALTH MINISTER Mr Khaw
Boon Wan speech “My personal view is, our land is expensive. But we
have nearby neighbours in Johor, Batam and Bintan. The elderly want
to reach their doctors within half to one hour.” Why do we have to
send our elderly overseas just to ensure they get treatment on
time. Singapore is a world class country, yet we cannot even assure
the elderly that they will be able to reach treatment in time when
they request for help. What rights do we have to boast that we are
a world class country. Shouldn’t a world class country be able to
do that?
I wish to share this with many others too. Why is it that in
Singapore, things only go one way – up. It seems that Singapore is
the only country in the world that is able to defy gravity as
everything goes up, except our pays. Prices of food have increased,
prices of housing have increased, GST increases, the Government
gets a pay rise to avoid corruption, prices of public transport
goes up, the number of ERP in Singapore goes up, Electricity and
water prices goes up. Our pay? One way, down and rarely up. I still
remember that during my primary school. $2 can last me for the
whole week in school, right now? $2 is barely enough to last me for
one meal in my school.
That is all I have to share. Thank you for reading.
However, maybe I am just more fortunate. When I was in Sec 3 /
4, many of them are Indonesians (About 1/4 to 1/2 of them and my
class is a size of about 37 including myself) and there are no such
case like her........ I dont think all the foreginers are that bad,
is not like all Singaporeans are good either, if not why would
there be prisons anyway.
