What’s the use of hardworking when filthy Indians like kt latha and @UltimaOnline just idle, gossip, tell lies and fawn on bosses to get ahead and sabotaged others to death?

song song emperor buay song that they came from putang pubortian in fuckien province as they looked retarded but could still pass imperial exam. must be rote learning, bribery, and cheating that got them up there in scores. no wonder song started to decline with these scholars in charge - could memorize a lot but could not solve problems and help emperor with creative ideas. lesson for sinkies - no point getting top scores in exams when you’re totally devoid of creativity and problem solving ability.
