It's not about one damn single issue, it's a whole lot of

was so good, then why are there such discussions about the A*Star
system now?
If people have had complaint in their various blogs about the way
the system is, then obviously there's something wrong somewhere and
it means that not only one person is responsible for it.
And again, the way some "I love
kissing the PAP's ass" A*Star scholars, like the US based
racist scholar and that Chng woman responded only shows how idiotic
our system has become.
In this respect, the selection system has become completely flawed,
the person and people who implemented the system(and whose head is
Yeo himself) is similarly flawed and a smart aleck as well, and
also the people whom were selected are people who [b]absolutely do
not deserve these awards- based on their character, the
way they preceive things and current issues, their maturity, their
leadership and the way they conduct themselves.
The system needs reform as I said, from top to bottom, from left to
right. And the people who implemented the system, both Yeo and the
PAP needs to be sacked for total incomptency. And those scholars
who take their awards as their god given rights to education, needs
not only to wake up but needs to be a total violent shot(such as
sacking them from their scholarships) so as to remind them that
they are not divine gods just because of their backgrounds and the
As that they have. [/b]
Judging from the replies, many people think it's just isolated
into one issue of scholars' temperament.It shows that the majority
have not realised the whole shebang is interconnected and its about
our socio-political system.
To cure our ills, tough medicine is needed.Thing is, can everyone
take the bitter pill?
