  • Malaysian Man Seeking Daughter That Was Adopted By Singaporean Couple 15 Years Ago

    Malaysian Man Seeking Daughter That Was Adopted By Singaporean Couple 15 Years Ago

    Stomper William from Malaysia is looking for his daughter who was adopted by a Singaporean couple back in 2002.

    In a phone interview, William told Stomp how he and his ex-girlfriend had the child but realised that they weren’t ready to be parents.

    They arranged for the child to be adopted by an elderly Singaporean couple days after her birth on July 14, 2002.

    The name which they gave to their daughter was Ong Siaw Me, Michelle.

    After the incident, William and his girlfriend broke up.

    He later got married and has been working in Singapore for the past year.

    Said the father:

    “I have been haunted by my guilt and conscience this past 15 years.

    “To my knowledge, the couple which adopted my daughter should be in their seventies now.

    “I’m worried about their advanced age, and I also want to know how my daughter is doing.

    “He is fifteen years old this year and should be enrolled in a secondary school.”

  • Losing Dad And Best Friend No Obstacle For Girl To Make It To Secondary School

    Losing Dad And Best Friend No Obstacle For Girl To Make It To Secondary School

    Nine days before her first Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) paper, Putri Lydia Hemamalini lost her “best friend” to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

    That friend was her 64-year-old father, who had suffered from the condition for about three years.

    “I would share my problems with him and he would give me advice,” the Lianhua Primary School pupil said.

    “I wanted to do my best at the PSLE and make him proud.”

    Yesterday, the 12-year-old was recognised by her principal for her perseverance. She was asked to stand while schoolmates applauded her.

    She received an A grade for Malay, C for English, and Ds for science and mathematics at the national exam, and can move on to a secondary school.

    During the difficult period, Putri had to juggle preparing for her PSLE and offering emotional support to her 47-year-old mother, who works as a crew member at McDonald’s, and her three siblings aged between eight and 17.

    Besides revising daily when she got home after school, she also had to help out with household chores.

    “I had to stay positive for my family,” she said.

    Teachers and schoolmates rallied around Putri in her grief, helping with questions about schoolwork and offering words of encouragement.

    “The school is like a second home to me,” Putri said.

    “My teachers and friends have been very supportive. I am thankful for them and will miss them when I leave this school.”

    Madam Po Mun Ying, her form teacher, said Putri is a cheerful and upbeat child who demonstrated resilience to work hard in her studies.

    “She also knew she had to do her best to make her dad and family proud,” Madam Po added.

  • New PSLE Scoring System Will Dilute Elitism, Now Time To Stop Entry By Affiliation And Direct School Admissions

    New PSLE Scoring System Will Dilute Elitism, Now Time To Stop Entry By Affiliation And Direct School Admissions

    Your average 4-pointer will be faced with a tough decision. which school to pick as his first choice? what if RI only has a Sec 1 enrolment class of 400 and your 4-pointer knows that there are 4000 4-pointers in Singapore? He is not guaranteed entry into RI any more. The school of his second and third choice becomes very important also – if he picks HCI, for example, and their cut off is also 4-points, he basically has no chance of getting in if there are400 x 4-pointers who put HCI as first choice. so he will be forced to diversify his choice of schools.

    In the past, your PSLE 260++ students would all just go straight for the RIs and the HCIs and the RGSes, and go on to hang out together, go to tuition together, apply for scholarships together, marry each other, work in the same high paying jobs together, continue to decide policy together, and send their kids back to same schools together in an entire career and life track cut off from the rest of Singapore.

    With this scheme, there is a strong chance that they will end up in any number of 20-30 other schools instead of 2-3… spreading the talent pool. Doubling down on “every school is a good school”. Breaking the concentration of elitism. And this happens all the way down. It’s a good move.

    The next step is to end affiliation and to clamp down on DSA.
