ITE is actually not as difficult as I thought it would be. I scored another 89 and 88 marks for 2 mock exam papers, yes, without studying for it. And hey! That's another 2 As I have gotten for this certain subject. Conclusion: No stupid people die, only lazy people do.

A certain classmate of mine mentioned something which sounded extremely funny and ridiculous today.

Classmate: Teacher, do you know that bangladeshes working at Kranji war memorial earned the most money among all Bangladeshes in Singapore? They were paid by Europeans and not the government of Singapore, $8 pounds. (I wasn't sure if the $8 pounds was per day or per hour.)

Lets calculate roughly: Lets make $8 pounds = S$20

$8 pounds a day = S$20 per day ; $8 pounds per hour = S$20 times 8 standard working hours = S$160!!

Do you believe they can earn so much money per day when most Singaporeans can't? Don't sound logical do it?

I guess the term 'Bangladesh' has become construction workers for most people living in Singapore. To remind you again, it refers to nationals of Bangladesh, and they do have degree holders there as well. So Bangladeshes working in Singapore do not mean that they are construction workers, they might be working as engineers here. So highest paid bangladesh in Singapore is most likely not working in Kranji war memorial.

Anyone can correct me and prove me wrong?

*Gentle reminder, those in Kranji war memorial were working as grass cutters.
