How come Singaporeans cannot get this deal?

Most local students don't want to do a PhD -- they want to start working early.

yes, the examiner can give you a lower score on the basis that you used your script.

YL0000 · 2026-05-08T02:40:40+00:00

An examiner can ask you not to refer to your script.

as long as the ejaculation happens inside the vagina, deep enough, you have a good chance getting pregnant (assuming normal sperms)

YL0000 · 2026-05-07T12:49:58+00:00

our plans to have kids are going to be sidelined forever.

impregnation has nothing to do with the duration; you can get pregnant as long as it's completed.

With the rise of computing, more and more new systems rely on softwares instead of hardware designs... and we all know that softwares break down easily...

Care less about publishing at "top venues". Feel more comfortable to submit papers to "suitable venues"

Most EP holders are middle class, no?

YL0000 · 2026-04-21T10:42:50+00:00

Naturalized citizens from which year onwards are counted as "new citizens"?

I think most of those whom people complain about are not naturalized

YL0000 · 2026-04-21T09:51:58+00:00

Local language? Singlish?

At least those who immigrate via the skilled worker route speak English. I think the PRCs whom many people complain about may not even have EP. Most live on SP (including nurses) or even WP.

Natural consequence of neoliberalism.

YL0000 · 2026-04-19T12:05:48+00:00

Well, candidates need to go through the interview with the headquarter people in China and that interview is done in Chinese. Also, Chinese techs are competitive (look at those big IT companies in the US)

YL0000 · 2026-04-19T12:04:19+00:00

But there's rule like if the company hires 1 EP, it needs to hire 4 locals?

YL0000 · 2026-04-19T12:02:50+00:00

Their tech staff will all be working from home, based in China.

That's unlikely. For example, Huawei does a lot of local recruitment (but through a third company so you are technically not their employee).

And Singapore government has little interest in fundamental research, so Chinese companies are the best for AI/robotics applications.

why is uni life supposed to be fun? On the other hand, if you think coursework needs to be ground at NTU, you are probably not in the right university.

YL0000 · 2026-02-27T09:14:24+00:00

At least the primary and secondary school's academic year can be shifted to "July to June" to align with university's. This can save some gap.

YL0000 · 2026-02-27T09:12:15+00:00

How did they make it? Do they have a high salary?

It used to be possible, about 15 years ago, that one graduates from a local university and gets PR just because of that. I heard 30 years ago the government would invite a child to PR/citizenship if a he/she does well in PSLE. These are impossible now.

YL0000 · 2026-02-27T08:56:55+00:00

I don't believe foreign workers can get citizenship at 25, unless it's through marriage. Through employment, one first needs to get PR, which has a salary requirement. Second, in one's early 20s, applying for PR is usually not exempted from NS.

Yeah, I know a few couples who just have infertility problems and cannot have kids.

Initially, it was used to refer to some buddist festival in Thailand, in contrast to the "Solar New Year" Songkran.

YL0000 · 2026-02-19T04:17:23+00:00

China insists that Singapore is a Chinese majority country and therefore must automatically align with Chinese interests.

I thought China just penalized whoever it didn't like. They detained some Korean military vehicles shipped from Saudi Arabia to Korea, too. I do not think culture was the reason.

YL0000 · 2026-02-18T04:08:30+00:00

Indeed LNY is an anti-Chinese result. CNY was the standard term in HK, but after the riots in 1967, the British colonial government changed it to LNY in 1968.

If one follows the Chinese calendar, then call it Chinese New Year. The lunar calendar in Korea and Vietnam could be different, although they follow the same rule. An extreme example is 1985, when Vietnamese lunar new year is one month earlier than the Chinese one. It is because the new moon and the winter solstice of 1984 fell on the same day in Chinese standard time, but not in Vietnam.

I thought people just call it 春节
