Absolutely right.Someone who gets the job done well is the best definition of meritocracy. Scholars have been fast tracked over farmers who have performed better at work. Parachuting scholars into high positions without having to prove their worth at work is an affront to the notion of meritocracy.
Fast track is the wrong track.
Even the bestest of scholars if you give them million dollars salary to be yes men after a while they become Baa Baa Black sheeples, no ?
NOT only must be humble,also must have a sense of shame.
ASEAN wasn't a shithole in the 1950s and 1960s. All of ASEAN had the potential to do well. But the pinoys had the Marcos, the Thais had fetish for coups, the jiuhus wanted racial and religious apartheid, the indons wanted a dictator, vietnam and cambodia wanted communism and war. So ASEAN, except for Singapore, fucked itself up. Singapore had PAP, who in turn, improved the civil service through the scholar system.
Absolutely right.
These paper generals going back to LHL himself spent 6-8 years of their army career studying in the UK, US etc. And they become generals in their 30s, unheard of anywhere else. Generals in acing exams perhaps but true Generals in the armed forces, that is a joke.
If these scholars are so clever and capable, why not go out and create their own successful business and thrive in the private sector. Of course, GLCs do not count.
The fact that after all these decades we have yet to see any local scholar set up a big successful business in the private sector on his/her own merit, says a lot.
Only idiots like @JohnTan think this fake general is his brother.
why KC always living and recalling his Poverty Past ?
sadden to see his younger days teenage picture ...
