Yes, kiasu parents have made front page in Sunday Times today.  Apparently, an annual fee of $9.6K is a "jaw-dropping" amount that parents are willing to spend on full-day programmes in pre-schools for their kids today.  This as compared with the annual $1.6K that "normal" parents spend on half-day programmes in PAP Community Foundation (PCF) Kindergartens.

The story is centred around a heartland family who is spending over 20% of their monthly income on sending their son to Pat's Schoolhouse for full-day childcare and kindergarten.

You can never be too careful.  This highlights the importance of keeping an eye on "external help" you get to look after your children when you are busy at work.  Imagine what will happen to the poor kid if the abuse is prolonged.
