Breeding a new generation of quitters

The recent forum between LKY and YPAP have also highlighted the "brain drain" issue. I think the fact that people will be moving around different countries...

Gazelle SG

Are you suggesting Singapore NTU and NUS are the best?

LazerLordz SG

Got the data?

walesa SG

What do you even know about anything outside these 4 walls and the propaganda you've been inundated with? At the rate you're going on, I'm about to start believing even Pyongyang is more expensive than New York...

walesa SG

I'm suggesting you're an idiot to think there's no difference between US colleges barring those in the Ivies. Just go round asking any employer in the US if Brown, Dartmouth or Cornell graduates (without assessing the quality of the candidates - just look at the colleges they come from) are actually favourably looked upon over their Stanford, MIT, CalTech, UC Berkely counterparts?

For the record, those in the Ivies may not even be the best in their respective discipline...

Gazelle SG

Did you have an african father?

walesa SG

As likely as you having a North Korean one...

Gazelle SG

I am not comparing which university has the biggest piece of paper certificate, but rather, the pay package and opportunity they get when they are out of school.

And please we are comparing Ivy League to TOP 25 university, not the best universities within the Ivy League.

walesa SG

That statement of yours already illustrates how myopic your views are and how little you know about US colleges.

I'm telling you now categorically in case you didn't realise : Stanford, MIT, Caltech, UC Berkeley are not Ivy League colleges and these schools are not regarded any worse by employers than the Yales, Harvards, Princetons, Cornells, Dartmouths and Browns of this world.

So, is it still true that all colleges outside the Ivies are actually the "same"? I guess Virginia Tech is as prestigious as MIT, huh? ( Since they're both outside the Ivy League and should therefore be the "same" )

PS : For the record, these are the Ivy League Schools - Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Columbia. Anything outside these 8 are not in the Ivy League...

People migrate cause of several reasons n the way u talked gave people a bad impression. U trying to persuade other local not to migrate to other countries?

nismoS132 SG

please don’t feed the trolls.

LazerLordz SG

Guys,

Gazelle is famous for his anti-Australian opinions here. Don't get too dragged in. Laughing

SingaporeTyrannosaur SG

It’s just kinda pitiful though, I hardly think deciding to becoming racist, not to mention condemming many people he has never even met before, as well as plenty of his own fellow citizens… is exactly the kind of person we can consider to be credible of speaking for any side at all.

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

I think Anti-Australian is too tame.

He's a racist and certainly belongs to the obnoxious bunch of Chinese Chauvinists in Singapore who think that Chinese values are good and Western Values are abominations. Some of his remarks reek of enough racism you'd wonder what good all the talk about racism in Singapore has done.

LazerLordz SG

Singapore has racism, who said it doesn’t exist?

Fingolfin_Noldor SG

Oh no, racism has alway existed in Singapore. It's just that you'd expect someone who actually staunchly support the PAP to at least follow some of the party's core tenets like some religion Laughing

But that aside, the PAP has some built in mechanisms.

SingaporeTyrannosaur SG

The good news is, no one needs to take him credibly.

Anytime he attempts to say anything, we can simply quote his racist remarks and leave it as that.

In any case, does not his remarks qualify him to be charged under the sedition act? Maybe we should report him?

Gazelle SG

really, I think your family are dumb and stupid and that is why people are calling you sillyporean. And guess what, you have already got use to be call a dumb pri.ck singaporean.

Gazelle SG

classic example of a white pri.ck sucker.

SingaporeTyrannosaur SG

Yawn... pls lar, you use this zhao so many times until no effect liao. One would think for all the gar'men's call for us to upgrade ourselves, you'll bother to learn.

Laughing
