Memories of living here as a child. Thanks for sharing.

My dear friend, we should stop reminiscing and urge our younger gen to fight. Else, our descendants got no future. Btw, I am sure you're sikh of our jokes

 

[Papsmearer]

I thought Ministars get perks like free rent
After all they sacrifice themselves and work so hard for Sinkies
They can earn much more in the plivate sector

Do they look like they work hard nowadays? Now got Minister of States, Deputy Minister, Perm Sec, etc. so many helpers. The Singapore population grow by only 50% but their staff and office budget grow by 500%

 

[Sikodolaukazzz]

In the olden days, almost all babu Singh wear turban

Nowadays I hardly see babu Singh wear turban

Why you so stupeeeeed boontud (in Malay your name means backside or your arse)

Most Sikhs have migrated to foreign lands like Australia NZ USA Canada Britain just like I migrated to my village by Lake Victoria Uganda

Learn and widen your limited knowledge and intelligence.

And stop from just looking at your arse in the mirror Bontud

lol
Bbbbbbrrrrrruuuuuugahahahahaaaaaaa

Aiyaahhhhhhhhhhhh
Singapore Ministars I say deserve to be paid more for the quality of the work they do
I have to disagree on this with you
Have you not read about the Ministers in other countries who are very stupid and are also paid poorly but they enrich themselves in other ways
Be thankful for the work your Ministars do
A small about 600 sq km country but a giant among nations where everything is so efficient beyond any comparison

I say go to your church or temple etc etc and pray that you were born in Singapore and not in for eg Nigeria

I like being IQ of 80. Think it's a lucky number.

Today again I ask my robot friend if a person with an IQ of 80 can pass PSLE or not
And he gave me a very honest answer
Solly leh I know it is rude but I have to laugh at the reply
lol


AI Overview



It is highly unlikely for a student with an IQ of 80 to pass the PSLE, as an IQ of 80 is considered "low average," and there's a high probability of failing without significant, targeted support.

While IQ is not the sole determinant, passing the PSLE generally requires cognitive abilities that fall within or above the average range, which is 90-109. An IQ of 80 suggests that a student may struggle with the complex cognitive demands of the exam.

IQ and academic performance

• Average IQ: The average IQ is 100, with the 90-109 range considered average.
• Low average: An IQ of 80-89 is considered low average.
• Cognitive demands: The PSLE is a comprehensive exam that tests a broad range of academic skills and requires a certain level of cognitive processing to perform well.
• Potential struggles: A student with an IQ of 80 is more likely to struggle with abstract concepts, complex problem-solving, and retaining information, which are all key components of the PSLE.

Support for students with low IQ

• Targeted support: Students with lower cognitive abilities can still succeed in school with appropriate support.
• Special education: Some students with IQs below 70 may qualify for special education programs, but an IQ of 80 is not considered an intellectual disability.
• • IEPs: Students with learning challenges can benefit from individualized education plans (IEPs) to help them overcome academic obstacles.
  • Focus on strengths: Students can be supported by focusing on their strengths and providing accommodations to help them succeed.

Conclusion
While it is not impossible, it is highly improbable for a student with an IQ of 80 to pass the PSLE without significant and targeted intervention and support. The exam's demands are high, and an IQ of 80 is statistically associated with lower academic achievement.

Woah, this is accurate. I actually did not pass my PSLE. Right now, I am applying odd jobs to feed myself.

I did some leeserch okay
In the old days arrhhhh all the towkay contractors arrrhhhh were not educated one but they very lich one
All live in big big bungalow.
They were very shrewed one and business minded.
you know or not?

Again AI came to my assistance
lol


It is a common perception that many of Singapore's successful early Chinese business owners, known as towkays, were wealthy despite having little or no formal English education. While many lacked formal schooling in the Western sense, they possessed significant entrepreneurial acumen, business skills, and a strong work ethic.

These early towkays often came from immigrant backgrounds with limited opportunities for formal education. Their wealth was typically built through:

• Hard work and resilience: They were central to the development of Singapore from a trading post, often starting from scratch and working their way up.
• Business acumen: They were shrewd and savvy business people, effectively navigating the complexities of regional trade networks and the colonial economy.
• Networking: They often relied heavily on clan associations and community networks (e.g., the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce) for business opportunities, support, and social capital, which served a function similar to formal institutional support in some cases.
• Philanthropy and community leadership: Many took on leadership roles and were significant philanthropists, contributing to the establishment of schools and other community facilities, demonstrating a strong value for education for future generations, even if they themselves lacked it.

A notable example, Lee Kong Read about the lich towkays Chian, a prominent pioneer towkay and philanthropist, was described as one of Singapore's first modern businessmen who built his success on integrity and purpose and had a lifelong commitment to education.

In summary, the narrative of "little education but very rich" holds true for many of the first generations of towkays, as their success stemmed from practical business skills and sheer determination in a developing colonial Singapore.

Read about the lich towkays in the above but one part stands out which I quoted below and by which I conclude that the lich towkay was very evil. The lich towkay was put to a test but failed miserably by showing that he was devoid of any compassion and had a hate filled heart.
Imagine what other evil he must have done throughout his life.

The lich towkay destroyed the dhoby's livelihood because of a few cents which at the end of the day did not even matter to him at all.

As his punishment the lich towkay is in this lifetime is a dhoby himself plying his trade on the banks of the River Ganges.

I am very confident of what I am saying is the truth.


"According to Aw Swan, a son of Aw Boon Haw, the family had initially lived in another house next to the plot of land on which the House of Jade was later constructed. There was a nearby dhoby (laundry) shop that the family sent their washing to, and this dhoby used the vacant plot to dry clothes. One day, however, Aw Boon Haw found out that the dhoby was charging him a higher price than his other customers. Although the sum of money was small, just a few more cents, Aw was angered by the principle of the matter.

According to Aw Swan, his father “dismissed the man without another word and then muttered something about teaching a crook a lesson he would never forget”. Aw Boon Haw bought the plot of land, fenced it off and decided to build his new residence on the land, thereby depriving the dhoby of space to dry his laundry."
