SINGAPORE: With 18 more schools to be merged over the next three years, teachers and staff from the affected schools say they have mixed feelings about the move.
“Personally, (I had) mixed reactions because we have a long history and we also have kids who are very used to the school. With this change, they’ll need some time to adjust,” principal of Stamford Primary School Cassie Fan.

MaLusia Forever: Malaysia is already the sick man of Asean. The income per capita (in US dollar) has been flatline for almost 10 years, while the rest of Asean goes up.
Malaysia can t add value to its economy, like South Korea or Singapore; and can t compete in terms of labour cost with Indonesia or Vietnam.
It hasn t done anything significant to improve education standards to be at par with the best (see Malaysia s Programme for International Student Assessment [Pisa] rankings) - a prerequisite to moving up to developed nation status. So, businesses compete on being cheap by importing foreign labour.
