I am happy she made two new friends, one is an ASEAN scholar and the other perhaps a PRC scholar. Both are offering double degrees, which mostly I thought make no sense. The daughter told me one of the professors felt the same too.
This is Singapore: the winner takes it all. She and the top students had been invited to so many tea parties and seminars....wonder how the rest of the students feel when they learned about this.
Actually there is nothing wrong if they don't over do this. But the Zeitgiest has changed but it takes a long time to pervade the entire society. People do not know how to quickly change course. In a rapidly changing society some of the most important changes take a long time to happen.
