“Assortative mating“: Finding a spouse that is at your level.

- Channel News Asia

That’s the way the world is. If I have explain this, I think I will lose votes after I explain the awful truth. Nobody believe it, but slowly it will dawn on them, especially the graduates, yes. You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if your son or daughter is going to make it to university.”

- Lee Kuan Yew speaking at Human Capital Summit, 24 October 2008

And he still have to cheek to laugh at it !!

maurizio13 SG

I have concrete proof that matching 2 graduates together would not produce genius offsprings, in detriment, it produces flagrant morons.

All our people put up chilli and onions to prevent the rain from coming down today.

charlize SG

Price of chilli and onions must have increased during the F1 race due to increased demand.

Poh Ah Pak SG

Lee Kuan Yew, when are you going to die?

I am concerned about that issue, not about who marry who.

So Lee Kuan Yew, when are you going to die?

maurizio13 SG

Price of chilli and onions must have increased during the F1 race due to increased demand.

The question is, how many chillis and onions our Prime Moron put outside Parliament and the Istana grounds.

Darn!!! I should have taken a picture of it, it's priceless, the Istana and Parliaments grounds laden in fields of red, the colours would be amazing.

Poh Ah Pak SG

Lee Kuan Yew, when are you going to die?

jay_rocks SG

So, are both his parents are of same education lvl?

Ramseth SG

I thought both his parents are non-graduates ??

skythewood SG

the degree is getting more and more important...

but... some one need to colate a grad + grad children data

and grad + non grad data

and non grad + non grad

and see how their offsprings do.

this will take time, but make a guess whether it will all be the same,

or one group will do better than the other.

Poh Ah Pak SG

That’s the way the world is. If I have explain this, I think I will lose votes after I explain the awful truth.

Wa, so clever our Lee Kuan Yew, we all so stupid, need Lee Kuan Yew come and reveal great truth to us.

Lee Kuan Yew is very wise, knows a lot of truth.

parn SG

I got no degree, but I'm still extremely wanted by many people with many degrees.

rainee SG

I think he is deluded.

I thought he wants people to get married faster? Want people to get married faster than cannot be so choosy wor.

eagle SG

I thought both his parents are non-graduates ??

That's why they are of the same level mah.

“Assortative mating“: Finding a spouse that is at your level.

Anyway, no degree doesn't mean you will be wanted by people with degrees. Example, certain bar girls, prostitutes, vietnamese brides, PRC brides, also hv no degrees.....

Perhaps the side effects of chemotherapy is idiocy.

Poh Ah Pak SG

You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if your son or daughter is going to make it to university

So all non grad parents won't have children going to uni?

So Lee Kuan Yew's parent grads of uni?

This is really great "truth" from Lee Kuan Yew.

Never heard about it before.

so wise Lee Kuan Yew.

uni grad is uni grad, so wise.
