Frankly Speaking: July 2009

http://frankcomment.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Christians beware: Offend the Gay Lobby at your own peril. The Gay Lobby will not hesitate to abuse humans, in the name of human rights. Free speech is permitted, only when we say what the Gays want to hear. Nuance, a so-called memo and threats . 05:55 AM Jul 27, 2009. Letter from Professor Thio Li-ann. I WRITE to clarify a few points in "Former NMP calls off professorship at NYU"(July 24). Nuance is needed; simplification is sensationalistic. Can a capitalist teach Marxism?

Frankly Speaking: MOE clarifies foreign undergrad admission numbers: numbers still seem wrong

http://frankcomment.blogspot.com/2007/07/numbers-still-do-not-add-up.html

Friday, July 20, 2007. MOE clarifies foreign undergrad admission numbers: numbers still seem wrong. When MOS of Education Gan Kim Yong reported in parliament that only 987 foreign students got into local universities this year, I knew immediately it had to be some mistake or some massive policy U-turn, but I did not comment on it because I did not have anything useful to add to what Lucky Tan. And Leong Sze Hian. 4218 / 14685 = 28.7%. Surely there is yet another mistake that needs to be clarified. This i...

Frankly Speaking: Zaobao: Most PRC scholars are still here. Really?

http://frankcomment.blogspot.com/2009/11/zaobao-most-prc-scholars-are-still-here.html

Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Zaobao: Most PRC scholars are still here. Really? The Chinese arm of the Good News Times had a big multi-page coverage. Then again, if such scholarships are offered to Singaporeans, who would still take up the PSC scholarships that comes with far more constraints. From the article and from my anecdotal experience, many of the scholars have trouble staying employed. They are magnanimously allowed to take another undergraduate programme (another scholarship? Or start a company o...
