Must be catering to FTs. How else can you explain this? One side of the multiheaded snake tells you to have more children because the population is not reproducing enough to replace itself. Another side tells you they have increased demand for kindergartens, and have to create 540 new spaces for these 5 new schools. For who are they? Only fucking FTs are the only group that are increasing in population here. Must be for them right? Why don't fucking Minister Heng cheebye just come out and say that, and also say that the PAP is using taxpayers money to build kindergartens to cater to their FT pets? Nah beh got no money for secondary schools, have to cut them back, but got money for this?


The next five Ministry of Education (MOE) kindergartens to open next year will take in 540 children, Education Minister Heng Swee Keat said on Saturday, revealing for the first time the locations of these centres.

Four of them will be located within primary schools: Frontier Primary at Jurong West, Punggol Green Primary at Punggol Walk, Sengkang Green Primary at Fernvale Road and West Spring Primary at Bukit Panjang. These will all offer 120 places for admission next year.

The fifth, to be sited at the void deck of Blk 318A Yishun Ave 9, will have 60 vacancies. After-school care services will be provided at these kindergartens.

Mr Heng said that the locations were chosen based on "projected demand". He reiterated that MOE was not chasing after intake numbers, but is using the kindergartens to develop "high-quality" learning resources and the best teaching methods.
