MONDAY 7 JANUARY 2013


MERITOCRACY IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST ACADEMIC GRADES


MERITOCRACY in Singapore is about more than just academic grades, said Prime
Minister Lee Hsien Loong as he stressed that everyone here has a shot at
success.




“When we say ‘merit’, we are not just talking about grades or scores, but also
character, leadership and a broad range of talents,” said Lee said in a speech
to more than 1,500 students and their parents at a bursary and Edusave award
ceremony in his Teck Ghee ward.

He said: “We make sure that whatever your family background, whatever your
circumstances, you may be poor, you may be from a single-parent family, you may
be having some learning disabilities, but if you work hard, you can succeed.

“It does not matter what your background is. We make sure we identify you, we
give you the opportunities and also the resources and the support so that if you
succeed, you can do well for Singapore.”

Yesterday was the second time in just over a month that PM Lee stressed that
meritocracy cannot be narrowly defined as being just about grades. He also spoke
on the topic at a PAP conference on Dec 2 last year.

In that speech, the Prime Minister said he was worried when Singaporeans reject
meritocracy and asked what could replace merit as the basis for decisions on
jobs or school places.

The principle has come under considerable scrutiny in recent months, especially
in the field of education.

While the Prime Minister repeated the same call on broadening the definition of
meritocracy, yesterday he focused on what roles parents and students can play in
it.

He urged parents to set an example: “Guide your children, set good examples and
instil good moral values in them.”

Turning to students, Lee urged them not to neglect their studies even though
there would be more focus on character, leadership and service.

“Results and grades are not the only measure of success or the only things that
matter in life,” Lee said, adding: “It is important that you learn and study to
give you a good foundation for what you can do in life.”

He pledged that the Governm­ent will continue to help all students achieve their
potential. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network

MORAL VACUUM AT THE HEART OF MODERNITY, NOW EMBODIED IN US LAWS!

MORAL VACUUM AT THE HEART OF MODERNITY, NOW EMBODIED IN US LAWS!

` In short, historically it was the Church that gave the moral blessing for
colonisation, slavery and genocide during the Age of Globalisation. The tragedy
is that the Doctrine of Discovery is now embodied in US laws.

Experience suggests that Washington often says one thing and does another, using
beautiful concepts as their brand of bullying and forcefully reshaping the
meaning of those concepts. For example, Washington often talks about "rules,"
but the world has seen the US consistently commit the most brutal violations of
the rules on which the United Nations system is based. The rules they talk about
are actually a framework for protecting the interests of the US and its major
allies. They are also a behavioral norm to force other countries to maximize
those interests.
