Troublesome Education makes people lost.


SINGAPORE's GE is going to hold within this year and there are campaign like activities through community centers are frequently found. The MPs are assuring its people for better future and people seems do not bother with the promises. Being a citizen of poor country, I think Singaporean are lucky to have such government. The government always carefully listen to their voice and manipulate the policies in favour of its people. The more the government provide the more they are demanding. I notice the fees chargeable between locals and foreigners are vast different at all area especially in education, property, health-care, etc.

There were so many carrots lay out by officials and I like one that is told my minister of education. He declared that "no-one who has ability to join whatever School, ITE, Poly or University won't be deny just because of financially expensive." He added there have been put enough scholarship for its citizens. What a good feeling to hear such words for those especially from poor family background? I even enjoyed to read such news despite it is non of my business. Universally every person should have a chance to access basic education unless it is for higher education to make our society more considerate.

No doubt the country that has most educated population can be successful. On the other side, the country that has less educated population is likely to fall down amidst problems. Then no wonder a great leader won't hesitate to invest in education industry in favour of its young generation and people's intelligent. I am upset to learn our education system that can effectively bar poor students from higher education. Even basic education, nowadays people can't pass through without enough money. The education is getting worse day by day. But the fees become higher. Meaning no money no education. Some people rely on traditional education that can be reached free at monastery. Some kind people open free education centre for people around.

Then what does our government do for this important sector? Where do they put vast foreign income from selling natural gas, oil and gems? Probably they might have spent on military goodies and less-important projects that is not beneficial to people. Within few months time, the government own factories would be sold out to private sectors. We should welcome if it is happening for the effort of people's relief. But the realistic is our people are suffering from this privatising because business people always focus on their own profit. They always do their business merciless. Previously people enjoy some subsidies rate through state own organisation. No that kind of things become a story for new generation. Even a university students can't get accommodation to study well. They need to find a place to live by their own expenses.

We are already far behind in the region. Forget about the golden time of early 60s as it's just history. We have to be realistic if we love our country so much. We can't be selfish. We have to be wise in managing our resources. Why not invite more advance countries to come invest by adjusting some regulations that they want? We must be flexible. If we keep holding unusable method and rigid, the neighborhood countries would be the most benefit from it, not our people. I am disappointed to learn our natural resources goes by fire-rate. We know we are lacking technology and we are not trying to get these. What for being proud ourselves without getting own abilities? Natural resources can be generated within limited time.

It's ashamed not to take advantage of rich natural resource to make nation's development. The country has seen various governments through time and no different is significantly made. People are desperate for a good government who can care of them. First thing first, we should put back our education system on the right track. Find possible collaboration with mature countries that can assist our system correction. Hopefully we can have a good leader in next generation even it is hard to find in the current generation. I would like to make myself available to serve my country when the time is right and I am needed to perform. Hope I can able to see a developing country before we close my eyes forever.
