My initial elation upon reading the headlines of this article was swiftly replaced with one of anger and indignation by a comment by a staff from Republic Polytechnic, David Lim. I quote here his words, "It really represents that if women put in the time and effort and they set their objectives right, they can achieve things on par with men."

I put this in here to remind myself why I hate Singapore. The gender bias in the country is so worked into the nation that the media actually printed his quote thinking it was an encouragement. Fiddlesticks! It couldn't have been more disparaging and condescending in the midst of such victory.

Yes, I hate the Singapore culture. The rampant pompous attitudes and false modesty that has become so innate that the people do not even realize what they are or have become. The Singapore life is like a matrix that has been created for the people by the people. And no, the government is not to be blamed. Foreign media can criticize all they want about us having a socialistic government, but really, the people were the ones who chose to live that way. The government didn't force them to do anything they didn't want. The people chose to live their lives dictated because they believe in that style of management.

True socialism in a country would not have allowed its citizens to leave. But the Singapore government has not once ever stopped any citizen from leaving. If anything, they'd established diplomatic ties and pushed hard for the Singapore passport to have easy access to all countries in the world so its citizens need not fuss for visas to travel.

On that account, Singapore is definitely not socialistic. It's a free country. Free for its citizens to leave if they didn't like the management and free for any country's degree-holders (I must qualify that it's only degree holders that we want!) to enter! And plenty are coming. People choose their way of life.

Those who do not like the Singapore culture leave ultimately.

Therefore, the government is not to be blamed for the people are the ones who want their lives run that way. They want someone to tell them what to do so when things go wrong, they have someone other than themselves to blame.

Yes, that's the horrid truth about the mass cowardice in the average Singaporean. The only ones that are courageous instead I believe work in the government who are daring enough to make choices to try and lead an immature nation.

Oh I just realized I've digressed from my earlier feminist subject. But from what I've written, it's suffice to summarize that Singaporeans are latent anti-feminists (without themselves knowing!) and cowards when it comes to living true to reaching their dreams or desires.
