The student is merely making excuses for his lack of originality.
I went through the Singapore system and I'm one of the most original thinkers around. When it comes to convoluted logic, I rise above all others.

That was our time. Ten year series only good for science and math till Pre-u. Not "marketing" in university anyway.
Time has changed. When I see so many kids getting all A's at A-level, I thought they had become even more hardcore muggers for 10 year series. I realized that I was wrong when my kids took their A-levels. The syllabus change frequently and were different for each kid. Science questions was well crafted. I have to agree that those kids are really sound in their concept or they must have covered 20 years series and many many more past school exam papers in order to achieve straight A's. 10-year series can't buy good results anymore. The norm now is to cover at least all the JCs' last final exam papers. A student who cover only 10 year series will get only mediocre results now.

Absolutely Agree... 
In 60s, as part-timer in melbourne, I took a paper with 2 parts separate for 2 years. But i enrolled to take part 1 paper and full paper in same year. The surprise was, I did not get thru part 1 but I passed full paper with high grade.

Why not just skip all those years in school & just study all the modern answers from the 10 or 20 year series
Then you can enter Uni & get your degree before doing your NS
Where got 20 year series one?
Go look at book stores like Popular book store. I would think that some enterprising person would have already have thought of doing it

I don't think what the student said is true for marketing. I studied it locally back then; although can't remember much by now i remember it was one of the easiest subject to score with nothing much to memorise, more of applying concept and ideas.

Try calling this local company 6223 8888, "world class" company with 3rd world call centre. :oIo:SIA for making me speak to shitskins!
That guy should have studied medicine.
Medicine does NOT want you to think out of the box whatsoever. Follow guidelines and do what every doctor does. Memorize stuff and regurgitate.
If you try to be original they go after you and discipline you.
The ultimate sinkies are found as doctors.
Quite true. Creativity is not good in the practice of medicine and accounting.

I don't know about medicine but in the field of accountancy, being creative is essential in order to survive.
Before we went public many years ago, we hired some creative accountants who did wonders for the books.

when studying overseas, i can only think of one is opened to their culture, other than that, there is no much difference studying local uni. in fact, in sinkieland, local uni. grads seem to be more well received by employers.

I got better things to do than to waste time checking out the lousy Popular book store
It is true. However, many students didn't understand why. Such need to memerise word by word is confined to only "definition" for physics, chemistry and math (only in university). Is there really a need to memerize definitions? The truth is no. Students who truly knows what each definition entails can always use their own words. As long as it covers every aspects of the definition, they will get full mark. The problem is, most students don't even understand each definition so they will not be able to use their own words. Those who do understand, will also prefer to memerize because the text book definition is usually the shortest way to put so many things in a single sentence.
For other subjects, regurgitating text book answers is not encouraged and may even be penalized.
