the world may end up like Bangladesh... the then education
minister came to singapore on a personal visit for some medical
treatment and was guest of my sister's company client...
the client and minister somehow ended up crashing a bowling
session of sis, friends and myself... and the client then dragged
us to dinner at restaurant near the bowling alley...
the minister, talking to us, admitted that there was so much
institutionalised cheating in Bangladesh, and it has gone on for so
long and is so widespread that there is no one who is qualified in
Bangladesh anymore... the universities and colleges are infested
with people whose degrees and diplomas are not worth the paper
they're printed on although they are genuine degrees and diplomas..
because they are all obtained through cheating..
no one knows anything anymore...
he actually asked us how he could get out of this mire...
i think he knew what he had to do... he just needed someone else
to tell him
that probably explains why degree holding banglas end up at my
father's ITC night classes he conducts at the ITE.
dad says unlike some of the degree holding ah tiongs, the
banglas don't know shit from calculus.
