In fact, he sees NUS graduates as inferior to their foreighn counterparts. Hypocritical isn't it? Deep down he knows that education is Singapore is not the bee-knees despite what the PAP make it out to be.

From day one your destiny is pretty much decided and you just have to accept your fate and worship your teachers and principals like they are supreme beings. Questioning the system will get you expelled or punished in some way that tries to break that angst. The lucky ones like me who had some means pissed off to a better land that gives us equal rights and opportunities unlike that latrine of a place called singapore. Day by day I see the effects of that failed education system which promotes a "master & slave" relationship from day one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-52580083446782654302013-06-09T08:31:37.740-07:002013-06-09T08:31:37.740-07:00It was only when I turned 20, that my eyes were op...It was only when I turned 20, that my eyes were opened to the way I had been brainwashed during my education in Singapore. It was when I began dating my Western boyfriend that I realized how cynical my environment in Singapore really was. When we began travelling overseas together, I at first could not believe how openly people and the media in Europe criticized their governments and how cynical they were about their politicians. A free media in Singapore will be the downfall of the Lee clan and its bootlickers.Irene Puah Siew Hoonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-618780092591121622013-06-06T09:22:49.923-07:002013-06-06T09:22:49.923-07:00Lee Kuan Yew had figured out how to have a slavish...Lee Kuan Yew had figured out how to have a slavish docile population, saying, "If we had an English-educated middle class to begin with in 1960 -- querulous, arguing, writing letters to the press, nit-picking, chattering away -- we would have failed."<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-19613369985972743092013-06-06T09:22:01.165-07:002013-06-06T09:22:01.165-07:00Lee has sent his grandson to the Singapore Americ...Lee has sent his grandson to the Singapore American School (SAS) -- something Singaporeans cannot do, as they must attend only Singapore schools.<br /><br />Addressing the Singapore American School (SAS), MM Lee said: "I also had a grandson who could not fit into our schools. He had an IQ of 140, so he is not a stupid boy. But he was having trouble. His brother was scoring and he was not because he was dyslexic and he had to learn two languages - English and Chinese.<br /><br />"So, the Education Ministry allowed him to opt out of the system. We did not have the specialist teachers to cater for people like him. He joined the SAS and at your school, your teachers helped him cope with his dyslexia and in the process restored his self esteem and confidence, and he's done well. Your staff support the American community and they have brought benefits to Singaporeans. Thank you."<br /><br />Only Lee Kuan Yew's family members and "friends" have the right to attend foreign schools in Singapore.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-28876035679030828942013-06-06T09:18:12.873-07:002013-06-06T09:18:12.873-07:00* Two-thirds of Singaporeans (aged 21-34) said in ...* Two-thirds of Singaporeans (aged 21-34) said in a survey that they had considered retiring in another country with a slower pace of life and lower cost of living.<br /><br />* Among youths (15-29 years of age), 53% are considering emigration.
