We have FTs they have slaves... Slaves usually come from foreign land, since roman times right through to African slaves in America. Nobody complain about Arabs because they toe the american line, and don't rock petrodollar. Do something different and you end up like I. Saddam, ii. Gadaffi, iii. Iran - take your pick.

My son did his IB exams last year. At PSLE, he did 259. Good but definitely nowhere near the top. In his last year at IB, half his class were foreign students, all scholars. In IB, the top score is 45 points. Two persons in his class got 45 points. One foreign scholar(from Phillipines-female), One Singaporean (Chinese-Male). Eight got 44 points. Two of them foreign, Six of them local. My son was one of the six.

It can be done but first u need to rid that defeatist attitude.

Intelligence PLUS Diligence.

Wah piangz! This really touch me deep deep sir! I think this attitude can be applied to all stages of education, work, and also life

My inspiration is piqued and my motivation ignited. Jia you!! I can do it!!! 2 more yearssss

that is FAIR, we have to serve 2 years in NS, they are held back 2 years, so that is the big plan, foreigners give you all handicap by 2 years, if they want to work in Singapore.

you only refer to male, in this world there are male n female...

i know lot of ppl will say NS is a waste of time, i offer some different opinion here. the 2 year NS will make a boy grow to a man, at least last time it served this purpose...
