Debt Crisis
As of October 2011, the Cambridge Institute has been running up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. Cambridge Institute has had to transfer nearly all of its students to other schools and stop taking in new ones, after it was forced to temporarily close its five Singapore campuses because it could not pay the rent.
Two teachers have successfully sued it for unpaid salary at the Labour Court and nine more cases are pending. It is a dramatic turnaround in fortune for Cambridge Institute. Teachers also complained that the school continued hiring even though it was in financial trouble.

Famous quotes containing the words debt and/or crisis:
“However patriarchal the world, at home the child knows that his mother is the source of all power. The hand that rocks the cradle rules his world. . . . The son never forgets that he owes his life to his mother, not just the creation of it but the maintenance of it, and that he owes her a debt he cannot conceivably repay, but which she may call in at any time.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“In crisis is cleverness born.”
—Chinese proverb.
