  • Elected Presidency – PAP ‘Elite’ Treating Us Like Children, Don’t Trust Our Choice

    Elected Presidency – PAP ‘Elite’ Treating Us Like Children, Don’t Trust Our Choice

    Some so called “smart” leaders think we should get Malays as PE since abt 50yrs, Malays is not being elected Singapore’s President. Some others think ‘Nah! We should not choose based on races, we should choose more on their credibilities etc…

    Who are you to decide for us?

    None of you has the right to decide for us.

    For myself, I feel more disappointed for PE not because of Malays or not but more because we don’t get our rights and our own freedom to choose our own future elected President. I will miss that moment to watch the rallies and watching many Singaporeans gather in crowd and concern of their future. As though the government doesn’t trust our choice. So please stop taking us as a child, as though we are so ignorant not to know who and who to choose as a President… Self elected President to me will only show your side of weakness, lack of confidence and competitive! When US past candidates had fought vigorously for about more than a year… Here we in Singapore being one of the most expensive and competitive country in most countries, we are stuck with back dated minded and lack of confidence leaders. It’s a shame and a big turn off! “Democracy” practice indeed!! Go and sell Koyok elsewhere!

  • 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.

  • Dzar Ismail: Parents Are Congratulated For Children’s PSLE Results, Don’t Forget To Thank Teachers Too

    Dzar Ismail: Parents Are Congratulated For Children’s PSLE Results, Don’t Forget To Thank Teachers Too

    My friend, a teacher had mixed feelings about the PSLE results today. A Foundation student he taught, managed to get into the Express stream. His parents beemed with pride, came up to my friend and cried. They apologized profusely. Why?

    Sometime early this year, they lodged a complaint to the school principal because they felt that my friend’s teaching skills were not conventional. My friend got a warning letter. An unneccesary warning letter.

    Visibly upset with what he felt was an unfair verdict, he could have toned down. But, he soldiered on because the student’s parents did not proactively help their child at home with his studies. The results were eminent early this morning.

    So when they came to apologize, and thank my friend, it was too late. Damage was done. The warning letter will affect his grade and his bonus.

    Ladies and gentlemen. This is why we lose quality individuals in the teaching fratenity. The system is quick to penalise our teachers just to appease their stakeholders.

    Not all teachers work for the money. Many I know do it because they want to unleash every child’s potential, regardless of the family social climate they come from.

    Ive seen many posts thanking parents. Here’s one to all the teachers for a job well done.

  • Don’t Despair, PSLE Results Don’t Determine Your Life

    Don’t Despair, PSLE Results Don’t Determine Your Life

    I want friends and parents to do this: share with us your PSLE score and then tell us what you are doing now. It will give hope and motivation to the young ones that PSLE scores don’t necessarily determine your future.

    So let’s start the ball rolling:

    My PSLE score is 221. I am now an Associate Professor in a University.
