and why not? based on you saying this, it reflects your self esteem and ego.
private=bought? its correct if its a transaction like the SPU degree, however private students do need to undergo exams and etc too, no doubt the standards of the exams may be different but saying private degree= bought, that is low.

and yes, you are right, all sg uni are publicly funded by all taxpayers, so why the need to bash other pte uni degree? the local uni funded by taxpayers(inclusive of your parents) are also giving out free scholarships to foreigners(free dorms, free expenses, etc). now that is money well spent isn't it?

so people shall we embrace our fellow foreigners(tiongs, indians and others) because they came from the same local uni as us and in times of need, they will definitely be the ones to help us also right? why nt we come up with a plan to help them integrate into our society and replace all those locals with pte degree since they are pretty worthless(in some of your minds)? that would seem like a good idea, cheers =)
