Politics? Not for me

AS A young undergraduate-to-be, Mr Terence Foo chose to study at the University of Michigan as it 'has the best political science programme'.

He later decided, however, to do it as an elective and majored in economics because he is, as he puts it wryly, a 'typical Singaporean, afraid of not being able to find a job with a political science degree'.

Now 38, it is this same pragmatism that leads him to firmly cross out entering politics as a possibility.

'I've never been interested, it's never crossed my mind,' he says categorically.

'A lot of it has to do with contentment. I'm happy with the way things are, there's no reason to be an activist.

'I've benefited from the system, I don't feel that there is anything worth changing.'
