"Minister, you give off librarian vibes" 😂

[currypuff]

Kaylea actually got cancelled for cotton from sheep 💀

[alantan]

Why did you remove the student comment on cotton sheep? Minister say it is ok to make mistake in the original video. Errr… walk the talk

[ericchionh]

"You speak so atas. Like those ministers like that" It was her subconcious mind hinting at whom she was actually conversing with lol 😂

I’m 11 and Minister Chan recently visited my school and he was a very kind.

[heartsfor_sejong]

Omg why did you remove the cotton sheep?!

[coolrb]

I am a Malaysian mother of 3 and a homemaker. I did not send my children to any tuition cen😊tre except for the final major exam when they were 17 years old. They attended piano lessons and Kumon maths besides a few years if Indian classical singing. I found my eldest to be good in maths. He graduated as a Electrical n Electronics engineer. My second was average in all subjects, so she's doing Business Administration degree. My last is waiting his final secondary results n us interested in IT. So, no matter what subjects you are good, average or bad, there's always a future in whatever you do later. Just embrace your self worthiness.

Wait where is the cotton sheep I missed it😢

[Notsurewhattoputlol]

Hanna seems depressed. High expectations from parents. No breaks when studying. Wtf

[neggsilver]

I'm a big fan of CNA Insider but honestly it's very disappointing that the innocuous cotton sheep comment had to be censored. Even CCS said it's ok to make mistake? Is this self-censorship or requested by MOE? This is why CNA will never be taken seriously. This is why foreigners will always make snarky outdated comments about Singapore being "Disneyland with the death penalty."

[theswitchbladex]

dont worry about getting cancelled - just be yourself.

[shuchanwong]

Actually Sujay’s 3rd request is more feasible provided MOE allows students to choose and change one of their non-core lessons into elective modules which is practiced in universities.

explain about the cotton sheep ppl are saying in the comments i watched this 8pm yesterday and nothing about cotton sheep

[verselines]

wah why was this re-uploaded? i just watched it yesterday evening. MOE wanted to censor something?

[izzmyfo]

I'm not sure if I am the only one who thought about it- but hearing Hanna say that she wasn't good in primary 3 to refer to her not scoring well in science and math made me wonder how alot of us relate not scoring well in exams with not being good in general as a person/ student. I would say it also kind of shows how the perception of exams is indeed a very concerning problem in today's age

1:47 wahahahha "u speak very atas like that, u speak like those ministers 😂😂😂"

[peterlim-ufbh]

Minister Chan is really dedicated to his job and we are so bless to have him serving our education system

[limian]

My boy agrees with more time for chinese compo. Start school later and end later. Combine June and Dec holidays. 😂 Temperate climate country schools do have 1 mega summer break. How did we come up with June and Dec split?

[BaySean]

That's why MYE has been removed. Thanks Minister Chan

[itsevatrendz]

omg kaylea is so me, i never knew someone would have literally what i hate and love about school😊
