An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Let me start by what we cannot show;
- no nobel prize
- no invention
- no Singaporean has achieved an award of International Standing
- no Olympic Gold medal
- no author has won a Booker or Pulitzer Prize
- no academic of world standing
- no michelin star chef
- no world glass athlete or sportsperson
- no architecture award of world standing
- no entrepreneur of World standing
- no CEO of a World class company outside Singapore
- no world class artiste or performer
- no winner of any World beauty pageant
- no world's first in anything of importance - such as first organ transplant,
- no world class institution of any kind
- no famous actor or actress of international standing
- no world famous model
Only 1 company stood head and shoulders above the rest of the World and was greatly admired and respected by all and feared by its competitors. It was Singapore Airlines and only when JYM Pillay was Chairman. It has been on descent since then.
The only other claim of international standing was achieved by Grace Quek of Raffles Girls School and Hwa Chong Junior College who was also part of the MOE's Gifted Education programme. She propelled to fame at the age of 22 as Annabelle Chong in The World's Greatest Gangbang. When foreigners are asked to name famous Singaporeans - only 2 names come to mind she and the old man.
