Their exam is known to be difficult compared to most foreign university. However, that benchmark of being intellectlly better is of no use if these people who graduated have a mindset of average people who live the life of "quiet desperation". We need graduate that make a significant impact in country. It is not what you get for grades, it what you do with your grades that allow you to standout compared to other university that generate better publicity. No point keep advertising that you wanted to generate future leaders without having a system of guiding graduate to become one after graduation. True leadership building does not end after graduation, and it should continue to build that kind of momentum with the university even after graduation. Most likely, NTU and NUS need to improve in this aspect. I always hold esteem for NUS and NTU standard. Their exam is known to be difficult compared to most foreign university.

Oh yah? I thought it should be 'Any publicity is better than no publicity.' But bad publicity, is unforgivable and unforgettable. 'Better to keep one's mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt'. “I would like the reader to remember this rule of thumb in publicity is good or bad publicity is better than no publicity.”
