Just for laugh & food for thought

Stumbled upon this article

VINCOLI: No student freedom at NUS


produced by Daily Yale News. Basically written by an American exchange student to NUS and attending political science lectures in NUS. Main purpose of article is to express his views on the academic restrictions in NUS, lack of freedom and his horror in not being able to express his views during examination in fear that the PAP would arrest him for it. Posting this up because it is such a funny read because of his sweeping generalizations made from unreliable anecdotes. :p

Reading the comments is even better than the article...

"The example about being "threatened with arrest" for standing at an airport terminal is absolutely ridiculous. As a US citizen who has lived in Singapore, I'd like to make the simple point that you are way more likely to be threatened with arrest at a US airport than in Singapore. 
I wish people would stop complaining about the whole Yale-NUS thing. Honestly, if you want the country to open up, then start this liberal arts institution and HELP THEM move in that direction
Don't do the same old American cultural imperialism bullshit and just vindicate other countries and concoct horror stories just to validate yourself as a self-appointed moral arbitrator."


hahahaha
