AS a Korean student from Jurong Junior College, I am disappointed to have read the article 'Singapore vs China' featured in The New Paper on 27 May.

The badminton match was a match between schools. Not between countries.

It was a match between Raffles Institution (Junior College) and Jurong Junior College (JJC), not between Singapore and China.

In our college, we have an International Talent Management Scheme (ITMS) where international students are presented with many opportunities to help them assimilate.

Representing the college in badminton is one such way.

Not only are we showing our appreciation to the college, we are also forging a strong bond with the other local students.

This friendship and bond that we share seems to have been undermined by the report.

The foreign students are there to strive and achieve alongside their local counterparts. They were there to represent the college, regardless of race or nationalilties.

Many of us came to Singapore to seek a higher quality education and we hope to learn and develop not only academically, but also to pursue our interests.

If JJC has accepted foreigners with an open mind and heart, why can't the rest of Singapore do the same?

Give us a chance to integrate with the rest of the community.
