One cool quote from http://young-pap.blogspot.com regarding the results
of primary school balloting:
"Dear Sir,
Today, both my Singapore-born Singapore-citizen sons serve your
family well by giving up their school places to your India-born
India-citizen son. BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH! 12 years later, I will
make sure my two sons serve your family again, by doing NS to
protect you and your wife's safety, while your son is away from
Singapore, having given up his PR to avoid NS! BUT THAT'S NOT
ENOUGH! So, another 12 years after that, when you son comes back to
Singapore as a "new" PR, in need of a job but too old to do NS, my
children will give up their jobs so that your son can have one.
Having no jobs, my two sons will then kill time, by doing more
reservists and IPPT to ensure the safety and pleasure of your
family! The honour is ours, Sir!"
Just something to think about. Is Singapore closely approaching
the situation stated above?
