These type of thing happens everyhwere, people seek the fastest
way out mah, no problem, education only mah, is mend to be
free, as long as they contribute back to the world when they
graduated, we should in one way or the other, gain from it.
Our policy of attracting talents and top students is not
base on laws, treaties and committments, if a talent or a student
wish to pursue other glory, by all means, what is use of keeping
them if the heart is no more here. If we can attract 2 out of 10
talents, we should be happy enough to bring forth Singapore into
the next leap. ie from a productive economy to knowledge economy to
a Top talent economy.
back to topic....
actually I think we are probably attracting 8 out of 10..... my
company is full of PRCs with doctorate.... the fact that i
don't understand, sometimes, what they are trying to say is
immaterial.
we need to get away from the mindset that your country's
boundary is the only definition of citizenship. if we encourage our
local folks to globalise, we need to understand that everyone else
will also globalise.
note too, that these 2 students is probably an anomaly. our
service industry is full of foreigners, and many of these are
providing better services that the local folks.
those who want to go, will eventually go, be it singaporeans or
foreigners.... it does not matter.
what matters is that the those who remain, need to ensure that
our livelihood is assured, whining about it does not help. learn,
upgrade, improve and enhance. that's what we need to do to continue
to have a good job.
