Sorry this is off topic but I can't help but express my sadness.
Singapore is a society not unlike ...
I am a Singaporean who is working and living in HK for almost 9 years. Speaking from my point of view, most Singaporeans in HK are merely working or living here, and are still holding Singapore citizenship and will probably go back to Singapore one day. However Hongkongers in Singapore are mostly new immigrants in Singapore and will probably try to adapt into the local culture and hence local schools. This perhaps explains why there is a SIS in HK, but not vice versa. Correct me if I am wrong.
It is true Singaporeans used to look up to Hong Kong and we admired Hongkongers, I vaguely remember this when I was a child. Singapore picked up fast in the last 2 decades. It is however difficult to compare the two cities. Singapore is an independent country, tiny, no natural resources, and completely dependable on our own people. Hong Kong on the other hand is not a country, strictly speaking, but a city, with backup from Mainland China. Political aspects and approaches can be very different.
My 2-cents thought. Hong Kong is not only facing the doubt on new government capabilities, but also the people's mentality. No country or city will be strong without the love from her people. What I see is, Hongkongers are complaining everyday about everything. Apparently strikes have become a routine. We want our children and next generation to grow up in a environment with love and positive elements, don't we?
Back to SIS. I am just an ordinary Singaporean who wish to send my child to our own school, coz there is always a chance that we might relocate back home for good one fine day. However I am surprised with the level of popularity SIS has managed to obtain over the past years in HK. I hope this aggravating situation will not jeopardise the chance of SIngaporeans who are the "needy" users.
