MOE to stop publishing names of top students?

It's precisely this attitude that disturbs me most. This happens not only in law, but also in medicine and other \"good\" faculties. And, of course, among the scholars. It's not so prevalent in the current generation of thirty something and older working adults, but is increasingly apparent in the younger twenty-something adults. This attitude of us vs them attitude. And I am very, very concerned of the future of Singapore.In conclusion:
The gap between IP and non-IP JCs is widening. Gone were the days where we could hear students from the lower end JCs making it into the medicine or law. One common joke among my ex-students in the law faculty told me: There are only 2 JCs in the Law faculty; RI(JC) and OJC (other JCs). Even within IP schools, the gap is widening too between the govt and independent IP JCs.
It's quite different from the past, where there were several good schools, and students from the not so good schools. And generally, it was the latter who, in their working careers, were more hungry for success, more willing to take risk and work harder to succeed. -

Yes agree. I think those forummers condemning foreigner scholars posting nice photos of themselves and scolding your parents are a bit overboard too. I dare not refer to anyone specific though. :roll:[/quote]
is a fact. singapore has no enough thinking people, with many loud mouth but narrow minded xenophobic nationalist clamoring on personal interest in the short term onlybupashu:

Wow Twinkles you sound like a miniStar! :salute:
not referring to any one specific here
This is also not peculiar to foreigner scholars in SG, vise versa.
SG scholars at overseas top uni do make news too. -

This post has gone un-replied to in 3 pages! You just posted, on many levels, such an un-PC, eugenics-based post, but in such a dry/factual way that it flew right under the radar! -

Class division... (what is the root cause?) -

:goodpost: Why there is such division and attitude? What was the system then versus now that drive this division and attitude.
I am going to be on hibernation mode for some soul searching. -
