Excellent reality check for daft sinkies who believe the hype perpetuated by the government that NUS and NTU are the best. Both unis can eat shit.

 

[eatshitndie]

it’s not like sinkie kids can easily get in the top 10.

 

[Hangover]

NUS and NTU ranked high in top uni rankings because of boliao criterias such as foreigners-ratio, research paper published (quantity, not quality), computer terminals, etc

NUS and NTU is too academic, a bit like UK universities, just about memorising formulas and theorems. NUS and NTU does not enjoy the employability like the graduate of a leading Korean, US, Japanese, China or German universities.

my uncle say something is very wrong with the mindset of parents as well as the students. He say they thought that since many applicants are fighting and applying for the same course or uni and the best are selected means that their child is very smart. He say alot but not all nus and ntu students think highly of themselves, even those who didn't manage to be employed still thinking they are very worthy.

Your uncle is right. That mindset is deeply ingrained in the parents and children because of the education system. Serfs actually don't need to feel worthy of anything.

Imagine your whole life, I mean literally every fibre of your being made to believe that with good grades you are the best and this goes all the way up to university... It's a poisonous mindset.

The leadership of the country once told me, we need fallen students from our unis and displaced PMETs so that we can have ready stream of good-quality cab-drivers and property agents.

It's the failure of the teachers/schools to impart humility to the students.

Humility was drilled into us back in my day.

Nonsense! NUS is lumbar one. NTU claim lumbar three, no one dare claim lumbar two!

They are only lumbar one or whatever in their little well. Sinkies are like frogs in that well.

Seriously bro, would send your kid to Tsinghua University which is ranked No. 3. This itself is a red flag.

Look at how US and European MNCs do recruitment at campus for the best talent.

There was one US Bank that recruited top students from Chinese Universities based on parents' net worth.

Bro,

the secret is already out of the bag- those seriously into academia already know where to go, and then there are those who just want to network and increase their net worth.

The whole idea about posting these rankings is just to show how ridiculous the bureaucrats have made what education purportedly seemed to be.

 

[scroobal]

I agree on the ranking and league tables. Yes, the smart know what to do.

Singaporeans and Singapore institutions are famous for gaming the system. Look at how NTU and SMU are scaling the system relative to the major well known institutions.

At the end of the day, make sure your kids if they do not qualify for law, medicine or accountancy locally in one of the 3, head to a half decent Western institution.

don’t waste your money by sending your kids to do half-assed majors in so called “half-decent” western universities. there’s no such nonsense as a “half-decent” western university. all my sinkie nephews and nieces who studied at such universities are back in sg and are still struggling to find jobs both overseas where they studied and back home. meanwhile those who remain in sg and studied technical majors in polytechnics and ntu are gainfully employed, receive corporate subsidies for further education in a university of their choice (to upgrade from poly diploma to university degree or from ntu bachelor’s degree to masters in 2 years or less), are sent on overseas assignments, are granted short term stints in sillycon valley to keep up with latest developments at hq, get a boost in skills and experience within a year.....while their cousins who studied in so called “half-decent” unis (truly they are also half-ass) languish aimlessly with joblessness and by now depression and despair. luckily for them their parents are wealthy and can support them with homes and allowances for decades to cum. but each passing year is a ticking time bomb.

head to a half decent Western institution.

Bro,
you know as well as I do, they have a mind of their own

 

[scroobal]

Yeah, in this day and age, they will know where to head.

Btw I spoke to friends of Tsinghua University and they laughed their head off. I played the devil's advocate and they again laughed. I then switched to NUS where some went and they were a little restrained but all agreed that a mid ranking Western Uni is the way to go.

One of them reminded us all of Old Man's famous exchange with NUS students in NUS on local education and the role of Woman in the house while his wife sat next to him.

[eatshitndie]

notice how quickly tpx changes from “half-decent” to “mid-ranking” after getting called out. beware of wolves in sheepskin.
