MOE doing more to track foreign students who took grants & defaulted on bonds

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

SINGAPORE: The Education Ministry has been stepping up efforts to better track foreign students who took tuition grants for their studies in Singapore but have not served their bonds.

It takes action against those who default on service obligations by pursuing liquidated damages against them, Education Minister Heng Swee Keat said in Parliament on Friday

Stupidity of the Govt is beyond comprehension. Why do we have to give tuition grants to foreign students? Are they locals born in this country? It is indeed a joke to pursue liquidated damages. These foreign students would probably be laughing at MOE now. When the bird is out of the cage, it would never return. It is just a waste of time and effort to chase after such defaulting students. Stop the tuition grant and save your efforts, MOE and let us stop being the fools.
