I never met anyone from those colleges b4, anyone planning on going higher studies may have higher chance now? Background of court case: Currently, Asians have the highest test scores, but are artificially limited from admission due to affirmative action favoring mainly blacks. Kinda American bumiputra policy. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-strikes-affirmative-action-programs-harvard-unc-rcna66770 WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down affirmative action programs at the University of North Carolina and Harvard in a major victory for conservative activists, ending the systematic consideration of race in the admissions process. The court ruled that both programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution and are therefore unlawful. The vote was 6-3 in the UNC case and 6-2 in the Harvard case, in which liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was recused.

Helping retailer to move their business online ? i think it will create jobs in different area such as graphic design, photographer, web design, PR & marketing, and no more salesgirls and promoter in retail shops.

Some thoughts to ponder and do share please. These days entry to JCs to do "A" levels are so competitive that many are scoring like single digit. In my opinion, it is very scary where the students nowadays are so clever and so competitive, to some extent, becomes unhealthy as it leads to certain level of self-centredness. Do you think so? Even for PSLE scores, students are like quite common that they score like very high (240-260) compared to my days in the 1970s. Cheers and thank you.

The Straits Times, Published on Nov 06, 2012 No true democracy with [antiquated] US Electoral College system TODAY'S presidential election in the United States raises the question of whether the country is really a democracy with the Electoral College system. Does every vote count? The US uses the Electoral College, which consists of 538 state electors to elect its president. So it is not individual Americans who vote to pick the president, but the 538 electors of the Electoral College. In the 2000 US presidential election, Democrat Al Gore received the popular vote, but lost in the Electoral College vote count to Republican George W. Bush. Technically, Mr Gore won that election as more Americans voted for him than for Mr Bush. This has happened three other times in past US presidential elections. Will it happen again this time? Will the candidate with the popular vote not become the next US president? There cannot be true democracy with the Electoral College system. Cho Yan Fatt Copyright

Seriously....would you really be ok if your kids enrol in this? Maybe can share what are the value of a liberal arts education? Liberal arts college graduates valuable for S'pore: PM Lee Edvantage | Mon Apr 11 2011 A liberal arts education can nuture graduates who can think deeply, rigorously and broadly, said PM Lee at the launch of the Yale-Nus college. Liberal arts college graduates valuable for S'pore: PM Lee The new liberal arts college will offer a distinct education different from other programmes, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong today, at the launch of the Yale-NUS College by the National University of Singapore and Yale University, Singapore's first liberal arts university. In his speech, Mr Lee expounded on the benefits of a liberal arts education, which will nurture graduates who can think deeply, rigorously and broadly, and be graduates who are 'valuable for Singapore in a more complex and inter-connected world'. Mr Lee also expects a majority of students to be Singaporeans, and expressed confidence that more Singaporeans will enrol in the college when parents and students come to see the value of a liberal arts education. The college will be an additional attractive option, for those students who have performed well, but are unable to be admitted into overseas liberal arts universities because their foreign-student admission quota, said Mr Lee. The Yale-NUS College, an autonomous college of NUS, will register its first batch of 150 students in 2013, with the eventual yearly subsequent intake expected to be 250. Mr Lee also encouraged employers to offer internships and provide their support, and that the government will also do its part to provide funding for the College.
