it is called consumer rights. even if my parents if showing those stupid attitude, they don't deserve my respect. Only those teacher that is good deserve my respect. I do have some teacher that i will respect if what they said is true and not some useless and arrogant teachers that wants u to do it only using her way even u have a better way to solve ur issue.

MOE Teaching Jobs

JC level need Good Degree + 1 year NIE course. Then the Gov tie you up with 3 years bond.

I didnt know its consumer rights to scold people for a public institution. Sounds alot like the typical singaporean whereby when they have a grouse with school authorities, they spew their displeasure on the school authorities. Since singapore schools arent public government schools but more like private schools, i guess students and parents have the right to blast their head off whenever they feel dissatisfied.

If you have a better way, why not just stop going to school and do home study since if you believe that your better then this, why bother fighting with them since their useless and your method is way better.

Forget about getting a teaching job for now, unless you're a citizen. It used to be no one wanted to be a teacher and PRs were filling the positions, but with the economic crisis suddenly everyone wants to be one (iron rice pot) and the priority is given to citizens.

Except for a few private and independent schools, the rest are public govt schools. Just that they're run like a private one.

More like a business which deals in education, so since parents pay for it, they expect to be serviced like a customer whereby when their not satisfied, their entitled to express their displeasure and try to cause as much inconvenience to the school authorities. Its human nature to derive pleasure from the misfortune of others.

my gf says she would rather die than have her kids be schooled in sg. i dunno, she believes that malaysian education at least is more well rounded and the kids have a more meaningful childhood. i guess its about what we want out of society.

There is always pros n cons
if study in msia might get ur child education & future screw up because of unfair policy in entering public uni and getting scholarship even ur child score max A in SPM or STPM

it's a laughing stock when the Ministry of Education having a flip-flop policies. Last time used to teach in Malay, then English, then back to Malay. I'm glad I sent my kids to be schooled in Sg. At least I know they will be treated equally when it's time to go University or JC.
I don't agree Msia education is more rounded. It's actually Sg education which is more rounded, less based on text book, more on research and 'out of the box' thinking. If not why would hundred, probably thousand of parents in JB sending their kids to be school in Sg ?

To make their children suffer the 1 hours or so travel time. I wonder how does one encourage out of the box thinking since you just tell people not to follow their predecessor method of solving the problem. But then again they will just wikipedia it so thats not really thinking out of the box is it.

There was a time when they said that whilst the school plays a big part, parents is ultimately the driving force and the pillar of the child's growth, irregardless of being in M'sia, Singapore or JB, no miracle in school can save the child from his parent's neglect to be the guide in all things.

I think I agree with this the most.

seriously i also don't understand why the parents willing to let their children endure the traveling time. Unless they really lost confident in the education system. a system where even the teacher are confused.
who's talking about wikipedia ? only you ? School kids in Sg are doing more outdoor research activities, visiting places, write reports instead of doing tons of homework from the text book.

Added on May 18, 2010, 8:45 pmquite true but it also depends on how the child is nurture. It will only work together with the parents and a good education system and I don't see that in Malaysia. And another thing is the quota system.

Hi can I check with you... If i were to start work in Singapore in July, meaning that I will not be working for more than 183 days. Thus, I will be taxed 15%?

if you prepare to send your kids for good overseas uni, system quota is not a problem.

Many malaysian student do very well in many places including NTU and NUS. How wrong can the pri and sec school be?

I don't just see the report cards and the list of awards/medals. There are more things to learn in school.

This is because auditors in SG are actually easy to find jobs.

Go to any Big4 and offer yourself $2.2K, they will accept you even you have not pass ur ACCA (depends on availability of vacanies).

Or better still, offer youself $1.5K-$1.8K, most small to medium audit firms will take you.

This is how my fren got into one of the firms just hours he sent the resume. Apparently, he was called to attend the interview just bout 3 hrs after his resume was sent.

Yeah, I mean, I didn't turn out too bad and i followed sekolah kebangsaan all the way through. Agree that in the case of higher education, it may be harder to get into the 'top' universities, but AFAIK, my employers just see my cgpa, relevance of subjects and how I present myself. As long as they understand that you are from a gov uni, that is usually enough (as its hard enough for nonmalay to enter public universities).

I was however asked to rank my university (UTeM) by a singaporean interviewer. I told them that usually the university here follow the trend of age (the older you are, the higher you rank, mostly). She seems satisfied, and explained that the reason they ask is because their trainee program is only open to the top 4 universities in Malaysia, but they may bend the rules. In Malaysia, I was never questioned about the validity of my degree, or how good my university is during interview.

Sean, its true, I'm doing MM Corp Fi and thats the pay scale for Bulge Bracket banks. DB and Barclays are known to be the most generous in Singapore. Credit Suisse not far behind. Its amazing that these guys pay more than Goldman and Morgan Stanley.

Btw, whats your background Sean?

Thanks for feedback. Is it enough to have just SG phone #? How about address?
I think those staying in JB will have higher chance to get called than those in KL or Penang, is this true? (assumption: all candidates have same qualification & requirements, only difference is location in MY).

you're right.... DB and Barclays pay better than other financial institutions...
