I have said it before. I can remember the day the Dpy LHL came to my institute. He said we (government) is not interested in basic research. They are interested in applied research. Research that can spin out the moolah. The scientists are shocked.
They have every reason to be. What is a PhD? It is not a means to spin moolah. It is just a title conferred to a person who has been through a formal education on critical thinking. Thinking that looks into solutions to our current and future problems.
Shift happens. SG is a place where such questioning and thinking that doesn't seem to exist. We do not take part or even initiate any form of social action. What are the problems that will come our way in this island state?
Ask your children's schools authorities about this. Don't get so hung up over this mother tongue thing. The top English speaking country in the future is China.
