actually it is those that are born in okay, marginal exceeding
ceiling income to well to do family that borrow from the bank,
except the rich ones. Because they do not qualify for the fees
subsidy based on marginal family income ceiling and not much "spare
cash" left over from families for school fees and spending
allowances and have to buy a notebook. so called stuck in the
middle families, too rich to qualify for assistance and too poor to
do without any assistance.
It will be bad if two or more children study uni or poly same time.
The expensive school fees is a big burden on family.
so much for our very expensive subsidised poly and uni fees. SMU is
even more expensive.
The mendaki subsidise 100% fees for family income below $2000 and
70% for income between $2K to $3K. This Should apply to all across
the board.
and even worse if they stay 5 rm hdb above and earn marginal
income, as these are classified as well to do families. Gov has a
habit of classify well to do and not well to do according to
housing type.
