Guys, are you done testing the green screen?

Welcome to the Kampong News Station, with me, Dick Loong

Tonight, with rising pressures on our Singaporean children

more and more parents are opting to send their kids

to tuition centres, so that they can stay on top of their class

with even the Prime Minister warning against an overreliance on tuition,

now we're here with self-professed kiasu parent, Madam Ling Chope Seet

Now she placed her son in tuition when he was just 3 years old

My son ah, is fluent in English, Chinese and Latin

Why did you make him go to tuition at such a young age?

Parents "nowsadays" are very busy you know?

I'm trying to make sure he pass his exams!

You people "nowsadays" you all don't know

it's the kiasu spirit that got us to a First World Country

Do you think Singaporean parents are too busy to teach their own children?

Yeah, I think many are, because of the high cost of living

their parents didn't really spend much time, or quality time with them

and tuition, enrichment classes and so on?

And because of those, do you think that the kids in Singapore

like communication skills, you know, expressive skills, and so on?

I think sometimes it's abit too much in my opinion

because you know, sometimes you still have to study at the same time

Yes, majority of Singaporeans now, especially kids nowadays

You can see even in the Singapore environment

they don't send them to enrichment classes that often

I think the youth is finding that's important too

Street-wise I think Singaporeans are about 90% smart

Now I understand your company has a unique perspective on toddler tuition?

It's definitely given them a leg up on the competition!

So, sir, would you say that toddler tuition has real world applications?

I'm Dick Loong for the Kampong News Station

Until next time, stay awesome Kampongers!
