sentences:  This was weeks after a revelation in parliament that SGD36 million worth of scholarships were awarded to 2,000 foreign students every year, something that is unheard of in other countries.The government was accused of disadvantaging local students in places for education and affordability, and in response it has made a policy change in primary education to give some priority to Singaporeans.Further incidents have also fanned local sentiments against expatriates and foreign workers in Singapore, for example, the publicity over negative comments about the locals by banker Anton Casey and Filipino nurse Ed Mundsel Bello Ello.
