Singapore is a very successful country in a lot of areas which include talent management. The national university is recognised as good quality university based on global ranking. Not only the facilities and lecturers are of high quality, the students are also of high quality. It is a very effective and also interesting strategy to recruit the best ever students from the neibouring countries such as the ASEAN countries.
As such, Singapore has been offering ASEAN scholarship to high school students from the ASEAN countries. This is to ensure that they have continuous supply of very good quality students, in turn, PR or citizen. My high school friend who was the top student in the entire form (same level of study) studied in Singapore for university degree and settled down there after getting his degree. This year I learned that there is another high school scholarship offered by MGS Singapore.
Female students have to sit for GAT, English and Maths tests for the first round. After the first round, about 10% of the students will be selected for an interview on the following day. It was a recognition to be selected by the school to sit for the exam as only a few out of a few hundreds students will be recommended for the exam, i.e. around 1% chance.
Happy events:
- My daughter is one of the few students selected by her school to sit of the MGS scholarship exam.
- Finish reading Chai Lan second book this week.
- Went for Rat Race training and knew that I still have room for improvement.
- Finally bought my G2000 work clothes at 50% discounts after trying to buy for a few years. I always plan ahead for non critical activities and plans but will normally execute when time is right.
- Have dinner with my uncle after so long. Will spend more time with him as I am his closest relatives after my dad passed away last year.
