You see, one does not need a degree to succeed in life. BUT, if he had completed his tertiary education, he would've been smarter, would know how to think things through clearly and analyse his situation better. Than to so stupidly dispose/spend his loot so outlandishly. At the end, he's just a dumb punk who got lucky once.

Our senior civil servants are smarter. They get paid loads of money to do little work, or have subordinates do their work. After they have reached a certain level of seniority, they end up scouted as Ministers with obscene wages and little accountability.

These are now called Gen Alphas (I think..). This generation just want to show off, they are not concerned about how much they can scam, how much they want to keep for the future or what they do is legal or illegal.

The world needs a reset button

Look at all those clueless scholars at Temasek Holdings losing billions of dollars in ill-advised investments overseas.
