"People become hawker because didn't study hard when young, and later in life, refuse to upgrade their skills. They reap what they sow. They should be grateful to earn $1000 a month, because if they work for others, they don't even deserve to be paid $700. In any case, no need to worry about any health effects of being a hawker as our Medisave, Medishield & Medifund will cover any problem without any out-of-pocket cost." -Ricky LAbove comment is in response to an yahoo article on Hard Life of Hawkers. There is very high probability that RickyL think he is an elite after receiving education from elite schools. After all his comment are much like his kind - Wee Shu Min elitism controversy.
I don't know whether to pity people like RickyL/Wee Shu Min. Totally brainwashed into thinking good grades = good pay, lousy grades = pathetic pay. Since these brainwashed 'elite' think they are the almighty kind, they are highly susceptible to extra service such as:
- waitress & cooks add extra ingredients - armpit sweat, saliva, 'gold' from nose
- mechanics rub saliva on their car seats, steering wheel
If those brainwashed 'elites' think they are almighty with their high education, how come don't know their lives have in a way benefited from these 'uneducated' folks?

People are born with different innate abilities & talents. Even in Olympics, there are many games. Michael Jordan excels at basketball but sucks at baseball. It is a tragedy for Singaporeans should such 'scholars' are elected into high positions of government service.
Yes. You can already see his manifested in the attitudes of the elitist men in white. Paying themselves high salaries while not helping those in need. Read latest news of old folks being moved to JB and further away from their relative and children. They rather invest and lose tons of money in investments than spend the money on folks who voted them in.
