  My friend in NUS told me some tutors could earn as much as 9k per mth
  
  And I have seen one article before which says Singapore unis pay higher than foreign ones
  
  

  depends if they are scholarship holders, etc
  
  got many levels
  
  but yah, S'pore Unis generally pay very well
  
  My friend juz obtained a 90,000 yrly grant for his research
  
  and they throw in allowances somemore... haiz

  when Korea met with it's crisis, the Korean PM called him on his mobile to ask for advise.. that's how high in regard he is held.
  
  which doesn't spell good for me.. coz he is damn strict

  I dont like Koreans and their 'strictness'
  
  It bothers me that their culture is very rough and may be tad on the unreasonable side, and its a highly structured society

  And Peter Drucker disagrees
  
  
  
  I think he got issues with these predictory models, cause he says more often than not, its an extrapolation of trends for the foreseeable future
  
  And he was advocating that people need to think way out of the box

  i agree!
  
  but i muz admit, he really takes care of me. Like a son actually. When i first touched down after my research trip, he picked me up from the airport, insisted on bringing me shopping for winter clothes, invited me home for a meal, etc.
  
  i really appreciate the gesture and honestly, he is like this fatherly figure to most of the students
  
  BUT
  
  when he ask u to do someting.. u better guai guai do

  Bleah, academicians, but continuous improvement seems like further 'extra-ploitation' of the models..I bet the next big thing will not be IT or biomed, but fish farming...
