Education, Education, Education all around, but not a Brain around.

Brief Excerpt:

“Are we are already living in a sort of dystopian nightmare where we have ceased to examine the deeper meaning of education in Singapore?
I am reminded, the cost can be exorbitantly high when droves of people can do nothing beyond applying what they have learnt.
Engineers aren’t really engineers as much as they remain technicians; physicians aren’t really healers as much as they impersonate mechanics to repair human wreckage; and lawyers are nothing more than car coupon aunties who blindly follow the logic of black letter law.”

Find out whether “They” really hate Singapore.

Personally I think that the debate about whether those who left are “quitters” or not is a total waste of time. In this globalized economy it doesn’t matter where you live or where you choose to go, as long as you are happy and satisfied with where you are. There are pros and cons living in every country. Some people prefer the freedom to efficiency. Some prefer adventures to safety. Some hate hot and humid weathers and prefer to live in countries with 4 seasons. In other words, it’s a trade-off, it all depends on what factors are important to you in life.

In conclusion, let those who share the same vision with our government go and live in Singapore. The rest of us who aren’t sharing the same vision, let’s get out either by creating or grabbing every opportunity that comes by.

Thanks for lending a helping hand.

Michika,

You might wish to think again who are the ones destroying the blogosphere - whose court the ball is in.

You know we all live in fear of Darkness, not because he is foolish, but he is so paranoid sometimes even the slightest suspicion can set off a chain reaction. And once it goes off, it just goes at full toss.

I hope you will all remain calm and give Mr Cheong of AIMS a fair run.

That incidentally just happens to be part and parcel of diversity.

You cant pick and choose your politics just bc it suits you.

Just provision an option, where ordinary bloggers can say, “we don’t see a need for it. we want out.”

That I feel is more than enough. But if you notice, even that is too much to ask.

I wonder when will this people really walk the talk.

It is easy to write an article in ST and spin doctor it to come across as an enlightened being, but when it comes to walking the talk, you notice it is a different issue all together.

Walk the talk. If you want freedom, diversity and people to take an interest, then don;t impose your values on them.

It’s really very simple. Start there.

Talk is cheap.

Only I feel everyone has a right to their space. If these ppl want community moderation no one is stopping them. Only there should be a provision where one can say, “I don’t want it. It doesn’t apply to me.”

Let;s not complicate matters, its as simple as that.

The writers guild protest is nearly one month old.

I wonder Y2K do people like Darkness really know how he is actually destroying blogosphere with his mass walk out antics?

If he doesnt like what Alex, Cherian, Bernard, Gerald and The Online Citizen are doing sit down and talk to them. I am sure they are reasonable people and they will be more than happy to say, ok what we are proposing if it goes ahead will not apply to you.

The matter can be very easily settled, but this way, it is very tiring, most readers are fatigued, I am sickened by all this fighting. Everytime I log on. It makes me sick.
