In his extended team of about 30, there are Indians, British, Asian Americans and Malaysian Chinese, but only 2 Singaporeans. And one of the 2 is a contract worker! This is not only limited [...]
Civil servants are set to receive a bonus of half a month and a cash quantum of $300 in July. This is considered good news, compared to just 6 months ago when public servants received a pittance as year end bonus.

But like last year’s batch, not a single one of them will be doing a science or engineering related course. In a way, this confirms the doom of science and technology careers in Singapore. In fact, four of the six President’s Scholars this year will read Economics. [...]
