It is interesting that a presentation of a personal view would attract comments like “Another paper chasers but lack good professional working experience” or “Are we really choosing the academically smart people to rule our country and paying millions for it?”. Hmm…no wonder many in Singapore chose to be silent and deemed a fool or conformist than to share his/her personal view on issues.
