Kelpie 2nd Gear January 15, 2009 Share January 15, 2009 Recent O level results : 1) Top Student : 10 A1 2) 2nd top student : 9A1, 1A2. Both Malaysians. What happened to the Singaporeans? So don't blame the FT policy ok......locals are just not good enough... Many many years back when I was still a seconday school student, my class has many foreign students from Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The brighest and most hardworking one are always the Malaysian. So I'm not surprised. Anyway result is one thing, if they are not going into the public sector, you still need luck and high EQ to make it there in the private sectors. Some of them are now teachers and most of them have gone back to their countires. During those days, only those with rich financal background could afford to send their kids here for study. So they already have an upper hand. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Supercharged January 15, 2009 Share January 15, 2009 They are Chinese... Chinese.... see? it makes a difference. Chinese ppl are generally smart and more hard working... so i'm not surprised that Msian chinese getting top grades. Even in Malaysia schools, those top students are mostly Chinese..... i dun want to mention other races..... dun want to start a racial war... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jc777 Neutral Newbie January 15, 2009 Share January 15, 2009 many of the locals in top schools (RI, RGS, HCI, etc) are doing the through train IP programme liao. left with neighbourhood schools to fight it out.

Even in Malaysia schools, those top students are mostly Chinese..... i dun want to mention other races..... dun want to start a racial war... I believe more of being on scholarship (already cream of the crop) and also because they know what will happen if they don't perform well since their parents work so hard to send them here to stay (SGD1 = RM2). But I believe this is good for the local kids because with competition will they then work harder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe someday they or their children will become S'porean Quite right, Pareto theory. 20% and 80%. May have a foreigner topping the exam but majority of the locals are scoring more than the foreigners. If 80% are consisting of foreigners are scoring better then need to worry!

There are far more Sporeans students than foreigners, quite obvious majority will score better la. Should set a benchmark (say at least 7 As and above) and see what is the percentage of foreigners achieve that compare to the percentage of Singaporeans who score above that.

Don't think is race la. if really because of "Chinese" factor, then the top fellow should be from PRC. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
