Singapore to give out free YOG scholarships to foreigners
Written by Our Correspondent
Singapore’s pro-foreigner government is again giving out free scholarships sponsored by Singapore taxpayers to foreigners.
The new scholarship, called the Singapore Youth Olympic Scholarship will be awarded to outstanding young athletes from around the world to study in Singapore.
According to a report in the Straits Times, the recipients will get a fully-subsidized academic and sports education at the Singapore Sports School for between four and six years.
The government-funded scholarships, which will be given out once every four years during the summer YOG, is open to all 205 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) worldwide.
One athlete will be selected from each of the five continents, and the last spot will be reserved for a Singaporean.
The scholarships for foreigners will cost about $25,000 a year which means that more than $100,000 will be allocated to attract five foreign athletes to Singapore instead of being invested in locals.
They will cover food, accommodation, education, sports training as well as return air tickets from the recipient’s home country.
It is not revealed if the foreign scholars will be bonded in Singapore for a period of time upon graduation from the Singapore Sports School.
While the Singapore government has offered a slew of scholarships for foreign students to study in Singapore’s varsities, this is believed to be the first such scholarship for sports.
The ruling party is especially generous to foreign students studying in Singapore on government-funded scholarships – many of them are given a free tertiary education here on top of being guaranteed a job upon graduation as some are bonded with the Singapore government for varying periods of between three to six years.
The scholarship was welcomed by Dr Southanom Inthavong, deputy secretary-general of Laos’ National Olympic Council.
“We have plans to send our sportsmen overseas, but we are short of funding. A scholarship like this will help, especially for the future,” he was quoted saying in the Straits Times.
Singapore is indeed a boon for developing countries in the region for which country in the world will spend more money on foreigners than its own citizens.

Sportspeople I cannot blame. Singaporeans really no "atheltic spirit".
All clumsy clumsy keep falling down, including myself.
See Elvin Ng and Felicia Chin yesterday night at Ren Ci Show.
Felicia Chin kept looking at her skirt as she walk down the stairs when she was acting Zhu Ying Tai....
And Elvin Ng fell down a step or two but managed to keep himself up while walking down the stairs when he acted as Liang Shan Bo.
Patricia Mok had to pull her legs up when she acted as Jolin Tsai because her legs wasnt flexible enough.
And by default Singaporeans are smaller in built, as compared with the foreigners coming in from North China, USA, Australia, Brazil and Africa. -

Envying is the most dangerous emotion/sin of our life, once you have envy in other, you have the urge to destroy, envy occur when you say or ponder, why other have, why other dun have, why i dun have, why he has,....it turns a man from envying to hatre, to jealousy, to revengeful and to total madness.
You have a heart of gold in caring for lower peoples, but never compare with a able one, because, you can never balance the fairness in this world, because if the world has fairness, it will balance and stop revolving, leading to end of this world. Alway understand the world revolve in unfairness, then you can live in more peace. And when you help people, never be attach to any emotion.

Only the Dark Angel will believe that an unbalanced world will bring more peace.Such negative and opposite thinking can only help to cause confusion, and bring strife to Nature's Way of fine balance.
This seems to be the simple truth of the existence of the Dark Angel in this Speaker's Corner - to sow confusion and cause distress.

Aiya, uncle
I am just giving free lecture to help peoples think better and accept the truth. You can't be so dillusion to really believe that the world is fair. Are you???
When i was studying laws as a attach subject, an old former judge, who was our lecturer told us...the lady statue on the supreme court holding the balance weight had never been equal, it slighted one sided, that shows that men created laws are not equal as the world is not deem to be fair.
