[Extremist]

For the first time in 44 years, a Malay student has been awarded the President's Scholarship.

Mr Adil Hakeem Mohamad Rafee, 19, who studied at Raffles Institution, became the second Malay student to be awarded the country's most prestigious scholarship after Mr Ismail Ibrahim, who received the award in 1968.

He was among five recipients this year who received their awards from President Tony Tan Keng Yam at the Istana on Wednesday evening.

The other four recipients are Mr Moses Soh and Mr Jarret Huang from Raffles Institution; Miss Alicia Tee from of Hwa Chong Institution, and Mr Shaun Lim from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).

If not mistaken, Yaacock lives at Dunbar Walk.. If his millions, I think he can afford to buy 10 big bags of Hari Raya goodies each for all of his relatives to celebrate Hari Raya.. LOL..

MIWs were told not to drive flashy cars around, especially those political office holders. When Lily Neo took over KIm Seng from YNH in the 90s, she drove luxurious cars to her MTP sessions. Was 'counselled' thereafter.

Before being a minister, likely to be Perm Sec or CEO of Stat Board somewhere. NTUC may house him too.

Has this guy served NS? Has he bothered to pay his respects to his fellow Muslim who died for his country?

Lily Neo is the only pappies MP I give support. She operates a GP clinic in Tanglin Halt. Her husband, is Ben Neo if I remember correctly operates a Women and Children clinic in Lucky Plaza. Ben Neo is also some Lamboghini or Ferrari club chairman.

Lily Neo confirm no air one. In fact, the fuck face Baey Yam Keng should thank her for operating a clinic in fuck face Baey's area. Many residents don't even know Baey but most will know Lily Neo. The clinic also not every flashy, the patients usually the local senior citizens.

Why make it a big deal? Mat, keling or chink, big deal. The true test is when they enter the real working world.
