“Our local boys have gained because of the higher level of competition and commitment we encouraged by recruiting the foreign students.”
-Montfort Secondary Principal Simen Lourds.

The Straits Times ( 24 Nov 2007 ) – Saturday (S8)
Foreign Talent
Should schools stay off the bandwagon?

Montfort Secondary Prinicpal Simen Lourds feels differently.

Mr Lourds, who used to play competitively growing up in Malaysia, is credited with reviving the school’s status as champions.

“Our overall goal is not just to win badminton tutles,” he says, refering to the strategy of recruiting foreign students crucial to Montfort’s championship plans.

“We want to do out part in the national target of having a team in the final rounds of the sports’ supreme tournament the Thomas Cup, in 2012.”

The first question he and his badminton teachers asked themselves was whether schools were competing at the level of top countries like Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand.

“The answer was ‘no’, because our local boys were complacent,” he says. “They thought they were good by just beating one another.”

So, four years ago, he recruited a top Indonesian student to play for the school team although Montfort already had the National champion, Derek Wong.

Derek was the son of former SEA Games singles gold medalist Wong Shoon Keat, Montfort’ coach.

The two qualified for the final of the national championship, recalls Mr Lourds.

“The Indonesian boy, Albertus Teddy Setiadi, beat Wong easily, allowing him only five points in each game,” recalls Mr Lourds.

The humbling defeat had the intended effect of jolting the Singapore boys.

They bought into the school’s programme of year-round training and competition.

“We train every day and a nights too,” says Mr Lourds, The boys get a break only yo prepare for the O levels.

He did not reveal how many foreign players the school has drafted. But last year, Montfort dominated the two secondary schools tournaments. Of the 14 it fielded, nine were foreigners.

The schools started a badminton alumni to persuade former students to provide sparring time for the players. “We created the chance for them to play against men,” he says.

“So, the foreign talent is just one component in our effort to raise the level of the local game,” he says.

Last year, Derek turned the tables on his Indonesian schoolmate and beat him for the national title.

Derek has grown into such a promising talent, he is the only teenager in the senior national squad.

Half the national age-group players in the national association’s stable are Montfort boys, says Mr Lourds.

They include Indonesians and a Thai who want to represent Singapore, he says, and that can only be good for the country.

As for the local talent? He says that Montfort players emerge regularly as champions in the annual national tournament which restricts entrants to Singaporeans.

“Our local boys have gained because of the higher level of competition and commitment we encouraged by recruiting the foreign students,” he says.

They also hold their own in regional tournaments, although they may not win.

“We are still behind, but we have closed the gap,” he says.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for writing to us on 29/10/2007 with regard to your enquiry.

We would like to clarify that the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) discourages the use of correction fluid/tape in the GCE exams to safeguard the interests of pupils.

Based on our past experience, the SEAB found that the use of correction fluid/tape can affect the performance of pupils and the legibility of their scripts.

Examples of these include:

(1) Pupils forgetting to write in their answers after applying correction fluid because they went on to answer other questions while waiting for the correction fluid to dry.

(2) Pupils spending time waiting for the correction fluid to dry or reapplying correction tape to mask their original answers, before proceeding to answer other questions. This results in some loss of time.

(3) Pupils writing answers when the correction fluid is still moist, thus rendering their answers illegible.

(4) Correction fluid adhering to the opposite face of the answer script, causing answers on the opposite face to be smudged.

(5) Correction tape causing opposite faces of the answer script to be stuck to each other. Separating these pages during marking could cause damage to the scripts and hence affect the legibility of answers.

With regard to the use of correction fluid/tape in schools, we would like to clarify that pupils are engaged in a variety of writing activities in their daily work where the use of correction fluid/tape may be appropriate. However, this is a decision that is best decided by the school.

We would encourage parents to contact the relevant school for further clarification on the decision made by the respective school, The contact details of all schools may be obtained from: http://www.moe.gov.sg/schdiv/sis/

We hope the above clarifies. Should you have any further enquiries, please quote the following reference number : 2007/10/455355 when you email me at contact@moe.edu.sg. Alternatively, you may also speak with our Customer Service Executives at 6872-2220.

Thank you.

I was browsing around stomp and I saw this, if it interest you in any bit.

I was looking at Neo‘s blog and I see that there are some domain extension that I have never seen before. http://www.mynic.net.my/

I have no time to look at its faq and information but if it is not for Malaysian-only I will start to gather all my funds and find some good domains to buy. I have some good ideas in mind.

* com.my – for commercial organisations/activities
* net.my – for network-related organisations/activities
* org.my – for organisations/activities which do not qualify for other categories
* edu.my – for Malaysian educational organisations only
* gov.my – for Malaysian government organisations only
* mil.my – for Malaysian military organisations only
* name.my – for Malaysian individual’s personal use only

I have biology and Physics (SPA) tomorrow. ARRR…… good luck to me.
