You see,
statistically, other world class universities are producing many more First
Class honours than NUS. Some are producing as many as 30% of a cohort. NUS is
producing a miserable 10% or at times 5%. How can be like that? So to get even
with the best universities of the world, NUS would be raising the percentage to
maybe 20% or 30%. See, it is so simple.
One big
question, have we been shortchanging our graduates and depriving them from
getting First Class honours for the last few decades? What a crime against our
local talents. And is this applicable to other faculties as well? Is this also
one of the reasons why ‘foreign talents’ are all flashing First Class honours
degrees and deemed better than our graduates caused we were so stingy in giving
First Class honours to deserving or undeserving graduates?
Who is doing
the right thing and who is doing the wrong thing? How about flashing First
Class honours from degree mills or Timbuktu? Who are the fools that have been
fooled all these 50 years?
No wonder we
have so few talents in all fields while other countries are producing First
Class honours in everything, making every fool looking like super talents
flashing their First Class honours degree here.
This foreign
talent law dean is doing something right for Singapore. We need more clever
foreign talents. He deserves every dollar we are paying him. Singaporeans would
not be able to think of such an innovative and clever idea to produce more
First Class honours graduates. The other faculties must also learn from this.

Is this what they called thinking out of the box?
Or is it that since we cannot beat them, might as well join them. If the world is filled with crooks, let's be crooks also. If the banking and finance industries are run by crooks, let's recruit more crooks to help us play the game?
I once asked the business school dean the same question that as they are attracting The best students, why give so many the lousy grades. The students might as well go to the others or overseas as many of the local Uni rejects came back with first class and boast they studied very little. The fool answered me indirectly that their degree is very prestigious so can not any how give. Unfortunately that is not viewed in the job market by employers.
When uni professors are thinking like fools, what can you expect?
When our fools prefer to take in fools with first class honours degree from the dustbins, what can you expect?
First class honours or not, not important lah!
What so important about first class honours?
Just ensure that our courts and laws are First Class!
That is most important!
What say you?
Cheers.
In the Army, Insubordination used to silence and punished whose who goes against them
In Civil World, Sedition is used to silence the same.
What World class Courts U expect??
COURTS FURNITURES STORES!
When fools are in charge, they cannot tell the difference between fools, fakes and first class honours. They are all first class honours when they can show a piece of paper with first class chopped on it.
Alamak. A cuntry filled with more lawyers...of the "first class" quality, no less.
What? Is Lee & Lee going global or what?😂💀 Wah, open up in China/ India and grab market share of conveyancing fees...just like the HDB conveyancing-fee monopoly.
Good. Good! Huat ah!
Do you think it is harder to get First Class Honours from NUS?
If YES;
Do you think this makes NUS a better university?
Do you think it is harder to get First Class Honours from NUS simply because NUS makes it harder to get First Class Honours?
And if true, this may not mean that NUS is a better university?
If NUS is such a good university, why is it that NUS graduates may be just as likely to be retrenched versus a degree holder from a 3rd world country?
This is a first class honours case study?
As reported in today's ASS..........
"Just barely a week after my mum passed on, my dad got sacked by his company for taking too much leave. It is not as if my dad took leave without informing or for personal leisure reasons. He took leave is simply because that hosting the wake is the last thing that he could do for his beloved Wife. Or maybe perhaps this event is not classified as important reasons for his boss but come on, if the death of a loved ones happened to you, would it be considered as important and valid reasons for taking leave?"
Can "fight" the case?
This is Singapore.....................

"It is not a secret that the Lee family derives its fortunes mainly from the Lee & Lee law firm, which grew from a modest beginning in the fifties of the last century to its present mammoth organisation. The Lee law firm has a near monopoly of the conveyancing business of Housing & Development HDB) apartments. It is a bizarre phenomenon that HDB apartments purchasers and sellers gravitate towards Lee & Lee law firm for their conveyancing needs,...."

In the old days, each law cohort only 40-50 students. After 4 yrs training, only 1 or 2 at most will get 1st class honours. It's a tradition inherited from old British-style Cambridge/Oxford. (I believe it's no longer the case even in UK today) Doesn't matter if the entire cohort all got straight As, all GPA 4.0 --- the professors will scrutinise each student & compare each individual subject or module and see whether got 1 mark or 0.5 mark difference. Even if everybody gets 100 marks for all subject & modules, they will cross-examine what each student had done & contributed outside of studies, e.g. being active in student chapter of Law Society, providing pro-bono voluntary legal advice services, how they interacted with professors & fellow students, what they did to help fellow students, etc etc.
Bottom line is that in the old days, only 1 or 2 max out of each cohort will get 1st class honours. Most will get either 2nd upper or 2nd lower. I know coz got some relatives who are/were lawyers (many are old birds, retired liao).
But with the influx of foreigner villager lawyers getting strings of 1st class honours from village universities, what value is there in a 1st class honours NUS law degree?!??!? More & more law firms here don't give a fuck, as the traditional old lawyers & bosses retire. As long can do case law and argue your case in court, and talk cock sing song can liao.
Another First Class Honours exam question.......
Who will win the next President Election if we have
Dr Tan vs Dr Tan? Why?

If NUS will only award 10% of each cohort with 1st class honours.
And if other universities award 30% of their cohort with 1st class honours.
Is this another case of Singaporeans ownself FUCK ownself?
Is it like good jobs for Aliens?
And unemployment for Singaporeans?
And National Service for young boys?
More examples of Singaporeans ownself FUCK ownself?
Sinkies are so robotic. When they see someone flashing a first class degree, their knees went soft, straight away feel inferior. They lost the ability to think, to question, to challenge.
They would not ask if the first class is real or fake, from village universities or degree mills. So they ended up being fucked by all the fakes from the villages.
So pathetic. From the top to the bottom, all sama sama, unthinking, just collect money, count money.
°Hi Anon 11.51
Dr TCB will contest the next PE.
But Presidential Council said must be qualified candidate holding current billion Dr dollars office.
If Dr TCB already fully retired and not holding current billion S$$ office.
Sorry not qualified.
Don't listen to their craps. There is only ONE thing to change. Every Singaporean born here has the right to stand for election as the Elected President. Period.
Stop mucking around with the rights of the citizens.
This country belongs to the citizens of Singapore, not your grandfather's country.
