Close to SGD200k is what we need for me to stop working and look after the kids fulltime.

He is a gov't scholar and was on Dean's List in NUS. Unfortunately he is not well connected. He says only "white horse" gets SGD 180k.

I never really understood what it means, can someone tell me what "white horse" means in this context?
