“Assortative mating“: Finding a spouse that is at your level.

- Channel News Asia

“That’s the way the world is. If I have explain this, I think I will lose votes after I explain the awful truth. Nobody believe it, but slowly it will dawn on them, especially the graduates, yes. You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if your son or daughter is going to make it to university.”

- Lee Kuan Yew speaking at Human Capital Summit, 24 October 2008

Lose votes? That's the problem. He can't accept being over the hill and irrelevant. He should enjoy his honorary position on borrowed time and stop uttering nonsence embarrassing himself and Singaporeans. So those who qualify but cannot get admitted into the local universities and lost their places to foreigners can only blame their parents. Soon those stay in HDB or with combined income less than $8000 need not apply. His poor younger colleagues should get him to shut up, as they are the ones facing difficulties pacifying the affected every year.
