Happy New Year jw5.% of Sinkie women who are pappy voters: High % of Sinkie women degree holders who are pappy voters: Very High % of Sinkie women diploma holders who are pappy voters: Very Very High. Couple Of Additional Points: 1. % of Sinkie women with higher qualifications than basic degree or lower qualifications than diploma who are pappy voters is lower than the above. 2. This "anal-ysis" does not apply to Sinkie men.
This is not possible here in Singapore. The society adores him. Anyone who says anything bad about him will be punished - not by the authorities, but by the laypeople who feel obligated and a strong sense of mission to protect his good reputation, which by now, is carved in stone.
Example: Last year after his demise, my primary shool aged daughter was asked to write a composition entitled " Why I love LKY." She came to me for help. I asked her, "Do you know who is LKY?" She said no. So I told her to write, " I am unable to write about LKY because I do not know who he is." Obviously, that was not acceptable by her English teacher. So she had to make up a story. I didn't want to make it a lousy school day for her, so I helped her complete the assignment.
Cheers!
The best way to widen your horizons is to join SAF as a scholar. You not only get the chance to widen your horizons via free overseas trips and studies as well as various attachments.
Ideally, if one wishes to study, it should be the love of studying, or at least the love of the subject/field of study. I speak for myself and the generation whose parents pushed us to excel at getting good grades at school. We studied because our parents wanted us to get good jobs in aircoditioned offices, and not work outdoor under the hot sun, like our coolie ancestors. They were there because they did not have the paper qualitifications. Our dear mothers could not bear to see their children subjected to those torturous and unrewarding jobs, and did everything they could to better our chances of getting the paper qualification to land better jobs.
As and example, I went into engineering at university because my parents viewed engineers as people with good salary, and job satisfaction. But they never knew how I struggled with mathematics at school and in university (fuck, it was horrendous!). I should have become an Arts major; Law would have been more suitable to major in for me (especially more so that people hate lawyers!). Fuck, anyways, I graduated in engineering and my first job was at a downstream hydrocarbons processing facility. I HATED the job and the PEOPLE there. Bunch of helicopter jerks. They don't listen to rock music, or like motorcycles, or even into science fiction. All day long, they'd discuss about their flat renovation issues, and ASTM codes. Fucking pricks! And converse in mandarin among themselves! I was glad to get out of there when I submitted my letter of resignation immediately uopn confirmation. Through a regular visitor (the salesman) for our photocopy machine) I was talked into sales and became a much happier person in a sales position - outdoors. visiting clients all over the island, happy hours. Dropping in on companies with good looking receptionists. Attending seminars in Malaysia, Thailand, even Oz (for product training). My advice to anyone thinking about going into engineering - do it only if you are interested in the field of study. With an engineering qualification, getting an entry level position isn't that difficult. But it helps along the way if you are interested in the field (eg. polymers, materials, construction, power, propulsion). Because if you do not like the subject, you still have to face your duties - everyday! Have fun.
One final note: My ex-boss, a graduate himself, has this to say about tertiary education - "It only delays your entry into the job market." Remember, a job is NOT a career.
Cheers!

Diploma holders are losers. That's why none of them are chosen to be President Scholars.

fools and imbeciles,this country Singapore's economy was crafted out of economic policies based on cheap foreign labour and cheaper better faster,what do u think will happen to the local workforce in the long term??of course they become redundant and irrelevant,this economy was not build to suit us or serve sinkies' needs and capabilities in the first place or the long run,it is build to run on gutter oil and cheap addictives and high octane fuel,now that gutter oil and cheap addictives is plentiful and cheap,do u think the automobile owners would want to go back to using organic,home grown,free range chicken shit sinkies?
we have created a monster that does not suited us in the first place,nor does it need us or require us,we have opened up the pandora's box and stepped into the future,a future that sinkies may not like or find appetising.soon one day sinkies will go the way of the dodo bird and the nokia 8026 handphone......unlike the iphone we do not belong in the future.
it is not too late for sinkies to repent,they must denounce their idol god LKY and beg for Winsemius's forgiveness.Pray that his dead soul will come back and save sinkies from the brimstones of damnation.
i think degree is necessary cos' it helps you to think harder and analyse things better.
U mean i have to spent so much to get my son to have a degree just to analyse things better? Wasted another 2 yrs in NS. By the time hes already almost mid 20s. Next....he cant even guarantee he will get a perm job. Amost a yr plus. Some of his NUS friends still working parttime/temporary jobs.
Wat tat cow said is true. After leaving school go get a job! Dont waste time and $$ study to Uni like book worm. Cant even guarantee one a job.
You study to gain knowledge not to land a job.
A degree / diploma is not a means to an end. Only sinkies think that way.
And last thing.....a local poly diploma is not a real diploma but only a technical diploma....know the difference.

How come ex-sinkaporeans can send kids to government schools?
