i read the newspapers!

ok in the review section 2 days ago on the 25th, theres this 2007 Oxbridge Letter- Writing Competition winning letter by a Teng Ya Wen from HCI. but its a she. so im guessing its hcjc. but oh wait.. they're hcinstitution now.. anw. i quote:
"singapore cannot afford to have students who feel they have been rejected by the education system to become disillusioned with the country. people seek affirmation in their citizenship. if one were to hazard a guess, the "stayers" of the next generation would be those who have been convinced enough by the country's commitment towards developing her 
most valuable asset - her people - to reciprocate in kind." ok i know im quoting out 
of context here, but jus this short passage itself is... illuminating.
