All he is doing is debunking the myth of academia. Most people in society do not understand the difference between academia, education & financial emancipation. Education is the wisdom you acquire to help you navigate through life & to build up one's financial freedom. I have learned from the Jews & Muslims that a skill in demand or to be able to trade in goods or manufacture goods which have strong demand allows one financial freedom. They do not rely on the charity of the system or capitalists to find work but to put their skills for hire as contractors or to trade goods or to save capital in order to start a business. The biggest mistake a parent can make is to teach their children to be subservient workers & to waste money on worthless degrees or studies. What will a PhD in English literature bring? Student debt or reduction in parent's retirement savings, to gain a job as a lecturer earning a pittance to what a businessperson or director in a company makes. The role of tertiary education in the 1990s underwent a fundamental change. Many impoverished people in the 3rd world did not have a chance to go to school or to complete their school. Universities were the playground for the children of aristocrats & businesspeople to obtain qualifications to either take a career in the public service like the prime minister here or to become professionals to open their own firms may it be engineering, law, accounting, medical, etc. Until the 90s most parents in the 3rd world could not afford to send their children to university especially in capitalist countries. Communist countries had free education. A PhD is an elitist symbol or the route one takes to become a researcher or scholar in a particular field. I say all of this as an academic & a businessperson. My fancy degrees help me most to win a debate or write an eloquent paper or to carry out an intellectual conversation. The world runs on two systems. The one is written law & the other is the law of the jungle. Unfortunately the second system is what runs the world from the shadows. Any self-respecting capitalist will tell you that being your own boss determines how much you wish to make. If you are a worker, you must probably bring in 3 times the profit to your employer in order to justify your salary. That is why 20% of the world makes 80% of the income & has 80% of the wealth. The remaining 80% must make do with the remaining 20% bearing in mind they are the ones paying about half the tax bill. 😂😂😂 He was a brilliant leader whose vision & discipline spawned a nation which defied fascist capital. He belongs to a select group whom are just a handful men from the developing world to rewrite the history books in a world of almost 10 billion people alive today. Singaporeans should be proud & not fall into the trap of Americans who are silly enough to take on student debt to obtain useless degrees to get them a minimum wage job or an internship earning minimum wage. Therefore, every step from then on becomes a mountain to climb. Their government is purposely misleading them so that they will never be able to challenge the system that has imprisoned them into a sentence of debt.
@@postblitz funnily enough, if you look at the history of the roman emperors most good ones were actually adopted later in live as adults. The ones that were sons of emperors, like Commodus, sucked because they never experienced live as an ordinary person
Yes. Singaporeans are among the luckiest people to get a leader like this. I hope your future generations understand the worth of this great man and forever ensure his great work is carried forward
I'm 70 and beginning to learn about this man. Remarkable man. He presents great and solid arguments against the West, for example, the attitude of Western govts. and media that wonders why Asians do not want to be like us. It's a big world.
What is not propaganda? Instagram and Tik Tok are propaganda, trying to persuade us to buy some things. The West have their propaganda. The Chinese have their propaganda. Everybody on social media is trying to propagate their ideologies. And this globe is fragmented and fractured.
