It is true that as high as 75% of the expenses go to salary. But, whose salary? The true blue local independent professors are not paid much better than any of the western universities. Bulk of the salary budget probably goes to those foreign "innovative" academias that they employed to push up their ranking. By the way, it is silly to just believe the ranking. Simple logic will tell you why. How many advanced countries are there? USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Holland, Sweden, Swiss, Japan, Australia,... let say count only 10. And, how many good and famous universities in each of these advanced countries? USA and UK have many... let say on average each has 3 (very very conservative since you can easily name more than 10 in the USA). So, total number of the true top universities could be at least 30. If you consider more countries like NZ, Italy, Russia, etc, the number may be more. So, how could ANUS be ranked at 20 something? This is a joke, right?<br /><br />Just look at the most recent NTU's fuel cell lab, do you really find any true blue local researcher in there? Perhaps, few locals are washing test tubes in that lab. This is HARD TRUE.<br />(NB: ANUS = Associated NUS = NUS plus those partnerships with good universities of other advanced countries)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-83431898260118224702011-01-19T17:30:22.480+08:002011-01-19T17:30:22.480+08:00You are right about the increases.

And then the next moment you realised that the fees has gone up.<br /><br />Just look at HDB alone, pay a fortune for re-trenching its staff under corporisation, then re-employed them again and moved into a brand new high rise iconic building of its own while the old HDB building is let out as a second rate office building. No wonder even LTA wanted to have its own iconic building if not for fear of public sentiment.<br /><br />Really makes one wonder whether they really cared that it's public taxpayer's monies that they are simply wasting or squandering away.Alan Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-47501957258095818892011-01-19T10:52:34.656+08:002011-01-19T10:52:34.656+08:00Me will not be surprised if charges in our materni...Me will not be surprised if charges in our maternity hospital and care will be raised too despite the very low fertility rate.<br />AND THE INCREASES IN PRICE, FEE AND CHARGES ARE MADE WITHOUT NOTICE NOWADAYS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-68088526298190630972011-01-19T10:16:07.374+08:002011-01-19T10:16:07.374+08:00The expensive chairs could help to raise its ranki...The expensive chairs could help to raise its ranking.
