DEAR my little girl,The quality of life and education here is almost perfect and they are boasting themselves by making this country as a education hub in the region. They are scoring high in several sectors but paying something back for their development at the same time. We thought developing is good for any nation to taste. It's wrong especially when the country has no proper system to handle negative impacts of development. In fact, Singapore is considered one of an ideal nation among world's developing nations. I have no doubt on the quality of their leaders on making this land a famous spot in the world. We could see this city state as a dot in world map. But they are powerful due to capable government.
Singapore's generation Y thought their nation's success story is naturally gifted and recently their founding father MM Lee clarified on his latest book by saying "you think Singapore's success is just like other developed nations, you are dead wrong." He explained how hardship they were during inception stage of this tiny nation. The first generation people were fought all the way by giving their life up for their nation. As a result, today Singapore can proud as a developed nation despite severely lack of natural resources. Since they realize they have nothing to be found naturally, they keep trying to upgrade their education system so that they can create human resources. They are right by doing so and now their nation is top in the region and other nations are imaging to copy their ways. Let it be.
As I told you above, they keep change their education system and they have world class education school, institute, college and universities. I see a lot of school child going to the school at early morning. They used to carry a heavy bag of their books. Seeing them with spectacle is not strange in this society. Most of people here are wearing glasses since they are over usage of high technology in their daily life. You can see a primary school student using hand phone and playing games on the public transport. It become typical and nobody seems bother for that including their own parent. Their education of course demands a lot of paper work from them and it lead them rely on glasses at the very young age.
In our country, our children might not able to access a good education system that they do. Also our children may not even see the play station in their childhood life. But they are playing traditional game that need physical that make them fit and strong in life. As a result, we see less student wearing glasses in our society. Other factors like foods, life style may have been affected to become this. But I don't like most of their students is socially very open and morally weak. Probably they are not taught how to respect older people and superior in life. They seem rude generally which they claim they are open minded. On the other hand, our religious make us polite people and our society is conservative to safe our child.
In our country, even university students are living their life under shadow of their families. Here I see their parents are out of control when their child reach as high as secondary school. Sadly, their students think of human right wrongly. They won't hesitate to inform police if their parent abuse them physically for the sake of correction. There is no such thing in our culture. Our teacher and parent can treat their pupil and child freely as people understand that they are doing that because it's necessary for a good cause. Our pupil and child love and afraid of their teacher and parent. It's much look like family bond relationship between pupils and teachers in our country. This is social value you can't find outside Myanmar. I want you to appreciate that. It's sure you can't find an excellent education inside our land but still can find some value at it.
I'm really concern to learn the student related criminal case especially on the base of morale. I often read news of sexually relationship between teacher and student that is not legally allowed in this country. Here pre-school goer are as young as 3 to 5 years old. They call it nusery and I am shocked to read recently that they have been boyfriend and girlfriend relationship in the class. It's not a strange to see oftenly about gang rape among teenage students. The law is so strict here but still crime are committed by troubled young. It's because their younger generation too expose to internet access through their laptop and even hand phone. The internet is very much open to all surfers regardless of your age.
Naturally young people are curious and they are most likely to access bad sites rather than good because bad sites are much attractive compare to good ones. They might have access adult website and wanna try themselves once they are given chance. It's uncontrollable by their guardian or parents. How can we prevent our students from keep going bad website that is supposed for adult? As a poor country, our people don't need to worry for that because our country's people even don't see computer. Probably only less than 1% of population can access super slow and highly controlled internet. This is bad on one purpose while good for certain aspect. Few days back, six years old primary school boy sexually assaults to his classmate of same age girls. What a shock news is it? It was happening in UK and parent are highly alerted.
As a father of a girl, I'm really upsetting to learn that news but I can do nothing. You are as young as 9 months old now. But I'm already thinking of your future now. I ask myself if I want to give you world class education or not. If I want it, I have to take associated risk. It's inevitable. On the other way, I can return my country and let you study in my country and understand the social value by living together with family. It become a big issue to me and I sometime can't sleep as can't stop thinking of it without finding proper answer. You may want to come here and study one day. We are prepared for the day to come, my dear.
But please be understand if we failed to bring you here to access world class education. As I told you in previous pose, your parent were born in rural villages and able to come here one day. Why not for you to follow our step? What I can guarantee for you is you'll never be given the same situation of what your parent have come across. If you are to study in native land, we'll try to give you the best in the country. From that point, you may launch your talent by doing all the best of you. I may able to show you the way to go safely in future as I have been gather a lot information within my life time. I hope I can able to serve you as a good dad before I close my eyes permanently. Thanks for cooperating, my princess.
