"That's the way the world is. If I have explain this, I think I will lose votes after I explain the awful truth. Nobody believe it, but slowly it will dawn on them, especially the graduates, yes. You marry a non-graduate, then you are going to worry if your son or daughter is going to make it to university." - Lee Kuan Yew speaking at Human Capital Summit, 24 October 2008
it's quite appalling to see such comments being made.
I for one, do not have uni-grad parents. My dad only received pri 6 education and my mum none at all, but i made it to uni all right. in fact, most of my friends do not have parents who are uni-grads. what's wrong with that? it jus so happen that some were not born with a silver spoon to receive proper education or just did not bother to study. Besides, i'm sure there are uni-grad parents whose children do not follow their path. and so what if someone do not make it to uni? people still succeed graduating from poly or ite, and there're also uni-grad who fail.
all i can say is, i appreciate my parents for giving me all that they can and i love them for that, uni-grad or not.
