A scholar is someone who knows how to study (tuck cheak). Hopeless in actual work. Like those professors who teach in universities about the stock market but never made money himself

It's okay to tuck cheak kiang but that's just one aspect of intelligence.

Many of these scholar nerds e.g. Lui Tuck Yew simply don't know how to run a country.

A scholar is typically someone who wear thick spectacles, comb their hair with partings and shiny. Most male scholars are sex perverts and paedopihile in real life. They study too much till don't have much time to have sex even they are horny.

same questions what is a star (as in movie star) and a celebrity?

A movie star is one that in demand to shoot film and get paid a lot of money.

A celebirity is one that can be a chef, taxi drivers, prostitute and so on that get popular on TV screen.

Leong Sam is a celebrity. A scholar is a celebrity.

The clowns in this forum, including the big boss, are street wise but not exactly scholarly.

They do know what is happening at ground level and see situations as they are portrayed. Scholars generally go by their books and theoretical assumptions. Just like Adam Smith, the economics guru. Scholars do not know what is happening at ground level as they sit in ivory towers. They recommend policies to adjust certain imperfections in the country and make it worse. Examples are COE, National Integration Council, etc.

Between the scholars and the clowns, living in cloud nine and ground zero respectively, who do you think knows better to run the country?
