Was I really inferior to straight-A students?

Kills all dreams. That's what living in Sinkapore does to you

Mr Lim Wah Guan is lucky because his parents could afford to send him abroad

Just think about the thousands of others who were already condemned by the system before they even reach 20 years old

They will live and die not knowing their true potential as a human being

And that is the Sinkaporean Tragedy

Your employers send the best and brightest students to UK and US unis every year.

So what is the point you are trying to make here?

Being a university graduate. So WHAT????
Being an overseas university graduate. So WHAT????

Doesn't make them any superior over diploma graduates, o level graduate, ite graduate.

The paper is just the entry to jobs. But it doesn't mean these people will earn the most. And why do these people want to get into a university. If they can't get into SG uni, they want to venture overseas? They tell you for knowledge. Bullshit!. They just want to get a better paid job. The word is BETTER PAID.

So it all boils down to money.

At the point of examination, he is considered inferior because of results. But EQ doesn't mean he is considered inferior. I can take 1 time to pass a driving test. Others can take 5-6 times to do that. But that doesn't mean I can handle a car better than them.

He is pissed, because he was denied entry. He gained entry overseas, got good results. Good for him. If he was not denied entry in the first place, he might not even have the motivation to do well to prove others that they are wrong.

So a lot of things in life does not happen at that point of time but what happens after that and the kind of response they take.

I agree.

To succeed in working life does not require a good degree yada yada. I know plenty of people with 3RD class degrees earning $180,000 per year and then some. They are all stupid as fuck, but they are good at ONE thing!

OFFICE POLITICS AND SUCKING UP TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME! That is the most important skill! Most bosses will overlook your incompetences if you r damn friend with them, if anything, you can arrow your workers and claim credit for yourself if your boss likes you, and stil get a promotion. So long you know how to cover your ass, the word is yours for the taking!

Making a move overseas, venturing out doesn't mean that person is smart. He is just taking a 1st step. How smart he is, are the next few steps that he takes. Only hunger for success can determine how much he will succeed

How can he compare himself with straight A-students. Studying Chinese in those overseas angmoh institutions is akin to the one eye jack being King in a world of the blind. He should remain in those countries to make out a living.

also true ... non-sinkie bosses will not be affected by the 'sucking up' ... those sinkie-like bosses who are flattered by subordinates sucking up to them must have been sycophants themselves to get where they are ...
