Why Singaporeans are stupid

After 4 and a half sememsters in NUS, I beginning to wonder if there is any bit of intelligence in a singapore student. Let's face it, Singapore is not known to be exporting highly knowlegeable people to the world. Take a look at the list of Nobel prize winners. Anyone of them from Singapore? We are not exporting any arts -- be it movies, music (the few exception ones make it big in Taiwan or China, but come on, that's 2 or 3 from a population of 4 million), bands (yes bands! how many times you heard of a successful band in singapore?), etc. The few that got international acclaim are either so esoteric that only a few came to understand and lauded for their arts, or is really over-publicised by our local news network. Its like winning your high school science quiz and then repeatedly publicised by a loud mouthed teacher. And for those who think Singapore is alleviating their average IQ already because we are importing the so called high tech industries or doing those big funded researches, please lah.. we are the production line workers in Electronic wafer fabs. We are the test tube cleaners in science reseaches. Our engineers got no right, no say over any matters, and those business people with their bloated ego oppressed our every thoughts and views.

And arts students, please, don't think that can talk, act handsome/pretty, act you are enjoying yourself in a group discussion means you are some clever tertiary student contributing to the overall intelligence level in our society. Don't know how many times I was confronted by bimbos or dumbheads debating about questions that goes round and round with "right or wrong" (means it ain't going to conclude) answers. No right or wrong doesn't mean your flukking views are correct ok??!!? BEFORE YOUR TUTORIAL PLEASE AT LEAST FLUKKING READ THROUGH THE LECTURE NOTES. don't think good language can mask your stupidity lah; and can please don't write chiminology essays that requires a good common folk needs to flip the dictionary 10 times over every sentence you wrote. Please lah, we know you used theasarus. And finally, will lecturers in NUS FASS please please please define all those super bombastic technical terms that are used only in your module as you teach or not?

Singaporean students think can talk means clever. Please go to some reading, use the brain to process, then talk, then that's clever.
