30/11/18 - The government's decision to levy parking fees on school teachers in school premises, led to the discovery of all elected MPs being granted an annual parking permit costing only $365/- or $1.00 a day for parking in any public carparks and in Parliament House. From Jan 2019, they are required to pay $250/- a year for parking in Parliament and parking fees in HDB carparks. For how long had elected MPs been enjoying this unfair special privilege?. (The PAP political elites, as they form the majority in Parliament, lack a sense of fair-play as citizens' representatives. They should have spoken up long before it was discovered.)
Nah. The doings of a few bad eggs does define what how we view educators as a whole. It makes us wary that educators can't be trusted on the surface, at least initially. A blanket statement to NOT keep a close watch on them just opens the door to more issues down the road. The industry needs to police itself and regain trust.
