Singapore? read this first !

I have been noticing that more and more Burmese youths are going to Singapore for further studies and to work there. Due to our country's economic situation, it is understandable that people wanting to go to Singapore for work and study. However, I have been hearing more and more of frauds and unethical behaviours of education and employment agencies.
The advertisements of many small private schools of Singapore can be seen on almost all of Burmese weekly and monthly printed media. I have no reason to object that they advertise on the journals. However, the way they advertise needs to be questioned on ethical ground. Nowadays there are many (MANY!) agencies for Singapore education in Yangon. The way they advertise their Singapore Education service is so unethical that that makes me want to throw up sometimes. Many Singapore schools they represent has many quality issues that even Singaporean Government discredited them by stripping them off the 'Quality Class' recognition. The worst thing is they advertise those schools as 'the best schools for the students' career prospect'. What I want to suggest is to check the status of the school with the Singapore MoE first before making any commitment with either the school or the agent.
For employment, there are many ways to go to Singapore for employment nowadays so do not give your hard earned money to agents easily. If you are a qualified professional such as an Engineer, or business managers, and have a substantial experience you should try EPEC, which stands for 'Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate'. You can apply for it at Singapore Embassy or online free-of-charge! If you are found to be qualified, you just need to apply for an entry visa to Singapore. Arriving in Singapore you can seek EPEC at Singapoe MoM which will allow you to stay and search for a job in Singapore for the period from 6 months to one year.
Even if you are not a qualified professional, you can go to Singapore on a visit visa and look for a job instead of giving an agent thousand dollars. Getting a Singapore visa is not difficult as you think!
