too many scholars...no point and even scholars regret
themselves....some were reported to commit suicide as in the
news....that is real sad.....
now some has switched over to the opposition....its not who u
join....but whether they can see u or not..... that sums up the
whole thing....if not...why waste time...
The guy who committed suicide isn't a scholar, he is a farmer
aka a local grad.
In the civil service, only the elite tier of scholars managed by
PSC and sent overseas are scholars. The rest are farmers. That
"scholarship" the guy who died had wasn't even prestigious. Give to
the real scholars for "free" without bond they also think it's not
good enough as toilet paper to the wipe their asses.
The reason you don't know this, is because you're a superfarmer
- a term reserved for the lower tier of the farmers.
One of the two people who joined the opposition party, was a
real scholar. You may want to know that a portion (about say, 40%)
of PSC's top scholars do leave the service after their bonds and
are channelled to the private sector. It's not a shocker. The
government never intended for all of them to remain in public
service forever, so that there would be a more even distribution of
talent. In fact a few years ago responding to numerous complaints
that the scholarship system was hogging all of the country's top
bright sparks, a suggestion by Tony Tan to pay for the overseas
education of all PSC scholars but channel 1/2 in every batch to the
private sector (bond them to work in Singapore's private sector for
6 years but in any company they like) was raised. The suggestion
was later rejected because the government believes it isn't really
an issue, as close to half of its top scholars leave for the
private sector and that it should continue to have first priority
over the top stock and first fruits. When that woman Hazel Poa
joined the opposition party, she had already left the Admin Service
over 10 years.
And please lah you peasant condemned loser, not everyone joins
the opposition because they are losers eg farmers Chee Soon Juan
and sister, Chiam See Tong, etc. There are actually two intelligent
Oxbridge elites who joined the opposition Hazel Poa, Kenneth
Jeyaratnam because of an overly and drastic unbalanced
distribution of talent resulting in a limp-wristed opposition, if
not non existent check and balance mechanism. Even an idiot like
you can see that the opposition parties have historically been
staffed by a bunch of retarded, deranged swines or low brow average
uncle joes like Chee (the former) and Low Tia Kiang (latter), and
the situation was desperately dire and in favour of one ruling
party, do you think smart people like Poa and K Jeya
dunno?!
The PAP has only maintained its power over the last three
decades by creaming off the top of the every cohort and bringing
them into its fold. And the formula has worked flawlessly. Now the
RP has wised up and is ready to use PAP's own weapons of its
intellectual elite against themselves. Use your enemy's weapons
against himself, how shrewd.
There is an impending groundswell, and there will be more of
outspoken scholars who not only are the intellectual cream of the
crop, but also had the strategic advantage of having been a part of
the system to understand it through and through, joining the
opposition parties in future.
Peter Ho, watch out for the tide. It's happening..nothing's
gonna change it. And you have only yourselves to blame for opening
the floodgates and stinking up the palace with swines from the
farms.. Time to reap the rewards.
