Mrs Anh Van Chi, 34, a sales manager, said she was “disappointed” at the move. “They are trying to differentiate between (foreigners) and the locals … It’s a subtle way of the government (trying) to push the foreigners away,” said the Vietnamese national, who has a son in Primary 1 at Queenstown Primary School, and has lived in Singapore for more than 10 years.
Another parent who felt the pinch was Mongolian national Nancy Khaliunaa, 39, who works in the printing industry. Already, she has sent her 19-year-old daughter home, saying the fees for junior colleges were too expensive. Her daughter had recently graduated from Yishun Town Secondary School.
She added: “My son has been in Singapore since he was three months old, and he’s almost like a Singaporean already ... We’ll have to pay S$550 (a month) for his school fees in the future, and it will be very tough on us. But we can’t complain, we’re not citizens (after all).”
