MD in OCBC Sec, Director in Merill Lynch, PSC Scholar to Japan ... how many here can do that?

nonetheless, never look down on people 

the school you attended, the degree you got, the job that you do does not define you as the "best person" .... [confused]

SINGAPORE — A clip purportedly showing Parliamentarians referring to an individual as "illiterate" and having gone to a "lousy school" went viral on Wednesday (15 September). 

While it is unclear who the Parliamentarians are referring to, numerous commenters on social media platforms have identified the individual as Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Leong Mun Wai of the Progress Singapore Party (PSP).

Footage from the Parliament livestream show the remarks were made around the time when Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong had an apparent exchange with Manpower Minister Tan See Leng after the latter twice addressed questions by Leong.

The exchange occurred during Tuesday's tempestuous 13.5 hour debate on the motion tabled by Wong on securing Singaporeans’ jobs and livelihood, and a separate motion by Leong and fellow PSP NCMP Hazel Poa on foreign talent policy. A considerable part of the debate was focused on several ministers rebutting Leong's views on the Singapore-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA). 

At the 9:47:56 mark of the marathon session, shortly after Dr Tan spoke in response to Leong's motion, Dr Balakrishnan is seen giving him a thumbs up. Someone can then be heard remarking, "He is illiterate."

Subsequently, at the 9:49:17 mark, after Dr Tan delivers his remarks, someone asks, "How did he get into RI?" Leong's resume on his LinkedIn account indicates he was a student at Raffles Institution from 1972 to 1977 where he did his 'O' and 'A' Levels. 

Another voice chimes in, "Must have been a lousy school". Someone then said, "I'm from Monk's Hill." According to an interview with Dr Tan published in The Peak on 1 July 2013, the minister studied at Monk’s Hill primary and secondary schools.

In the background of both clips, the mic at the podium where Tan spoke is glowing red, indicating that it had not been switched off.
