in this case, it means both.
next time our son dunno will have a place in top 5 schools or
not bcos got so many scholars and new citizen's children
next time our son have to pay $6.50 for a plate of chicken rice in
sch canteen
next time our son have to pay $1.50 to take a bus to sch (bcos we
cannot afford car leh, even though we stay in HDB 4-room BTO). and
he may not be able to get up the bus bcos too crowded.
next time our son cannot find job (even after he managed to squeeze
into local unis, which only take in 30% locals) after he grad bcos
the positions are only open for pinoys, chinese, indians and other
aliens.
