Meritocracy is a myth

You don't have to be in a top primary school.
Neither do you need to score straight As in your exams.
Won't make a difference if you are the teacher's pet.
Needless to say, hard work in University and getting into Dean's lists are quite redundant.

All you have to do, is pray that you get born into the right family.

There's no such thing as meritocracy, only descendancy.

By the way, I did a silly estimation about how much I can spend a year (bills, transport, food, medical bills, essentials and wants, plus a bonus holiday) versus my take home pay in a year.

And after some calculation, I have zero dollars left (except for whats growing away in the untouchable CPF, only touchable by the gahmen of course).
