The devil in me felt that it is karma for this pax to meet this driver. To loose 4 teeth is an extremely painful life lesson that not everyone is docile and can be fooled around to our advantage and get "played out" by our tricks without retaliating. Between a simply foolish man and a scheming...

This case highlighted the issue of obeying law and taking the law in your own hands. If one chooses to take the law in his own hands, he must have no fear of the consequences such as going to jail. Otherwise, some may find themselves perpetually being bullied by those who know how to manipulate...

It takes a real solid punch to knock out 4 teeth. If one is not trained in martial art, it takes great anger for an untrained to deliver such a blow. Really hope to hear story from the grab driver.

There are more and more old Audi private hire cars on the road. The type of car actually depends more on rental company, i.e. the type of old cars they buy. For drivers if more customers prefer Audi to Altis or Vios and the rental is about the same, most will be willing to pay for the higher...

Latest roadside gossip. The summit is on. Trying to find out is it a wayang to add excitement or eleven Xi lost.

Watched a Taiwan news prog yesterday. It said kim's grandfather pulled off the same trick when he realized us was serious of an attack. They called old Carter to negotiate and Clinton, the then president was most happy to avert a war. This time with china involved I think Kim snob US after...

Her belief is that he is still young and didn't understand. Otherwise he is a good and filial son. She is not alone. There are many more out there.

There may be more than meet the eyes. Olivia can't be that dumb. It will be saved but not the shareholders.

Correction. It should be who has been bailing out temasek losses? It is CPF monies. There is no need to bail out CPF losses. Just extend withdrawal age to 90 or maybe 100.

Thanks for your effort. However, the focus of your source doesn't seems right. The real problem is those in MOE who set the direction. Just some examples : 1. Wrong method 30 over years ago, I was first introduced to "model" for solving math problem. It is a joke to me. They even tried to bs...

YA ya ya I support the toilet put. As a student then I was always questioning why teachers have empty toilets to their own while I have to que during peak hours.

Thanks. This girl who is working now, used to barely pass her math in p4. The parents engaged that tutor and she got A* in math at p5. I was curious and noted the tutor used a mixture of algebra and simultaneous equation method in a different way from sec sch. Now come the interesting part. At...

Agreed with most points. However, the most important factor is missing. It is the way teaching materials are organized and the method of instruction. I know a pri math tutir teaching p4 kids simultaneous equation. The kids understood and applied it. School said too difficult don't overload the...

Perhaps my judgement was bad. However, the word used by lhl was "diverse". Wonder what he means especially if 50% of students comes from hdb community. The distribution is not that skewed unlike those elite school. They probably have some thing new to implement.

Thanks for the info. Really surprising to me. In the 90s when I had more dealings with them, I remembered most students don't have hdb address. Just a guess, the rise maybe from prc and other new citizens. Their kids are extremely hardworking.

This super tutor class size is usually limit to 20. Normal school class size is 40. However, we need to remember that students attend this tuition only once a week, max 2 hours, while students go to school everyday. Why the big difference it results? Is it class size that makes the...

I understand and agree with your assumption. Yes, we need to have "nature" first so that it is easier to "nurture". However, many rich kids are also struggling to get top grades. Their parents are the driving force behind the creation of super tutors. They hunt down the best tutors and got the...

That is why my comment was "barking up the wrong tree". If only the elite can make the grade to go RI, something is wrong with the schools, teachers and teaching method as non-elite relied more on the school system for their kids' performance. Well, since the smoke is out let's wait for the fire.

Agreed if we use absolute value to compare the poor in the 70s and now. I should use "comparatively poorer". Would be interesting to find out the percentage of RI kids living in 4-rm hdb flats and below.

Barking up the wrong tree. In the 70s, about 50% of RI students are from poor families. By the 90s, maybe only 10% are from poor families. Big bullshit that good students from poor families don't choose RI for fear of not being able to cope with mingling with the rich. The truth is few poor...
