Seems like a long time since I made any posting.
Some were like condemning the government for not lowering the weightage, while others were criticising the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
Just because your child can't do well in Chinese, MOE must lower the weighting?
If my son can't do well in English, Mathes & Science, can I make noise ask MOE to lower the weightages of these too and use the excuse as aforesaid as justifications of my action?
Dumb asses!
What has this loser here have against Chinese? From the way he/she have her nick, chances are he/she is a Ang Mo wannabe. Speaking of folding the tail between the legs walking out when the MM speak out, this person here looks like one~ =P
The Government is asking you to be racial harmony. Not asking you to lose your cultural and your root. As a chinese, you know nothing about the language is as good as a British know nothing about English! And just a side note, sense of belonging need not be reminded. It is constantly within you, if you really have it. Do you need someone to remind you to eat all the time? You'll eat when you are hungry, right? So stop whining, Dumb Ass!!!
One of the idiots even said something like 'it's not essential to learn the language in order to learn the culture'.
Hello! If you don't even know the language, how are you going to learn the culture?!
Though I'm against what was previously 'proposed' and also half of the comments I saw, I do agree that the current system do put some minorities at a disadvantage. But then again, decisions will always be made in the interest of the majorities. It would be funny to be 'fair' to the minority and 'sacrifice' the majority, right??
Looking at the Malays and the Indians, I have never seen any of them being ashame of their own race or culture, or sounding they have difficulties in learning their own language.
Comparing Chinese to the Indians, where both have at least few thousand years of history, don't you think that Tamil is also a difficult language to grasp?? They have over 200 alphabets in their word structure, Mandarin have only some strokes to remember, how hard could it be compared to Tamil?
Lowering the weighting of Mother Tongue?
Be prepared to breed more Ang Mo wannabes.
I can't imagine one day when my kids or my grandchildren know nothing of the chinese language.
It would be a total disgrace!!!
School starts.. Hence, the reduction in posting =(
If you are a frequent news reader of Yahoo! Singapore, you would have probably come across this news on the 'mother tongue weightage'.
Saw some comments posted by some Singaporean (assuming they are Chinese themselves, cos I reckon other races would refer to their own language in this case)
and it really make my eyes widen in surprise.
From names-calling to accusations, etc..
I mean what the hell are these for???Just because your child can't do well in Chinese, MOE must lower the weighting?
If my son can't do well in English, Mathes & Science, can I make noise ask MOE to lower the weightages of these too and use the excuse as aforesaid as justifications of my action?
Dumb asses!
Ya, right! Let the child have an easy way out. How do you know your child is not up to that standard? Who are you to voice out? You know why Singapore need expats?? Because of stupid parents like you! Giving the child an easy way out whenever he starts to whine that something is too difficult. Idiot!

Profile
I like to take life easy,
but that seems to defy the force of nature.
So here I am, struggling day after day,
trying to make life easier for me & my love ones.
I try to love everyone around me
But I am no saint.
I'm working hard on it.
I love my family.
I love everything I have.
I am extremely stubborn.
I am very mood-swing
And I do things according to my own wish
If you think you know me, read my blog and think again.
I'm imperfect and I'm Lovin' It.
I'm the only witness and the only person who can judge my life.
This is my blog so Click
here if you hate it.
