Local poor Singaporean is a farmer race and Top World University Scholar is Elite-Putra. If Elite-putra unable to respect and understand local Singaporean, they will mislead our nation and social progress. PAP Elite-putra is danger than UMNO Bumi-putra?
Their MBA is from heaven and our MBA is married but available nonsense?
We shall support equality and pledge ourselves as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion to build a democratic society based on justice and equality to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.

Blogger taunts her readers, calling local grads stupid and comparing them to ‘frogs in the well
A BLOGGER who is taunting her readers with bigoted comments about students here is causing a stir in the online community.
The blogger, who calls herself Intellectual Snob, described Singaporeans educated here as “frogs in the well”, compared to those of her ilk.
She claims to be from Raffles Girls’ School and Hwa Chong Junior College, before furthering her education at prestigious Ivy League colleges, Yale and Harvard.
She apparently spares no efforts in blasting students here as “stupid”, “unsophisticated”, annoying” and “provincial”.
In a strongly-worded post, she wrote: “There is no directive on paper restricting frogs from being appointed in analysts, economists and trading roles. But the competition is just so cut-throat that these frogs simply don’t stand a chance.” The blog has drawn hundreds of comments and generated furious online discussion in various forums, such as Stomp, AsiaOne and HardwareZone.
Administrative executive Michael Tan, 29, said: “It’s quite unbelievable how someone who is supposed to be so educated can fail when it comes to being considerate and thoughtful.”
A blogger, who calls himself. Anything That Interests Me, wrote: “Just because I am from the National University of Singapore means that I am not clever? This is a vacuous statement, and I can’t believe that woman can hold that belief.”
However, the identity of Intellectual Snob remains a mystery. In response to my paper’s
queries, Yale said that it is not possible to pin down her identity while Hwa Chong Institution
said it was “unable to ascertain if the anonymous blogger is indeed from the purported institutions”.
There were those who doubt she is who she claimed to be.
A civil servant, who held an overseas government scholarship, said: “Someone who has
sufficient smarts should know that if senior management or even colleagues in the government
organisation that she’s working in find out her true identity, it is likely to jeopardize her career or, at the very least, make it less comfortable for her at her workplace.”
It could well be someone who is not a scholar but “dislikes such overconfident scholars and parodies the stereotype”, she added.
