[h=2]Cocky NUS law undergraduate: Local undergrads with single degrees are ‘least intelligent’[/h]Posted by temasektimes on April 22, 2012
A cocky law undergraduate boasted about his education qualifications on a forum and described local undergraduates with single degrees as ‘least intelligent’.
The comment was posted on “BrightSparks Singapore Scholarship and Higher Education Forum” in response to a thread on local versus overseas universities.
The forumer, who uses the moniker “Grandiloquence” claimed that he got into NUS Law to do a Double Degree course and also obtained a scholarship to go to a top overseas universities.
He classified people into four different tiers of intelligence:
“Are Singaporean scholars getting cocky? I was quite disturbed when I chanced upon this post up on a Brightsparks forum.”
Such an ‘elitist’ mindset has been long ingrained in the Singapore’s administration which gives scholarships to the top cohort of Junior College students each year, many of whom are subsequently groomed for the top jobs in the public service.
