I happened to come across this blog post of some father who's boy is apparently a science prodigy. Some genius. Well it's really amazing that the kid who is only 9 years old already passed Physics and Chem O lvl at his young age. Apparently, he is currently in SP studying chem. Ya ya I know that kid is really pro. But I just have some opinions about his father who wrote the blog. In a way, he is claiming that he is not trying to get his son famous or anything. But he repeatedly blogs about how Singapore media is burying his boy's news. Yes, from what we only see from his blog, it appears that Singapore media is really burying the intelligence of his boy. But I choose not to believe totally in what he says. Mainly because it is an one-sided account. There might be other reasons on why his boy got lesser recognition compared to the other PRC guy but he just chose to bury them up? I don't know. But from what I saw from his blogpost, he seemed to picture out another Singapore media which I have never seen before. He wondered if it was because his boy is half malay and half irish that's why singpore media chose not to put his boy on the cover page. But I seriously think that it is definitely not the reason why. Look, as we have learnt at least for our past 17 years, Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-religious country where no one will be disadvantaged because of their race or religion. I'm trying to say that Singapore is all perfect trying to maintain this but in any case, I am sure that genius boy will never be buried because of his race. Somehow I feel that that boys father had somehow brought a negative impact to Singapore's reputation. And the thing is, he said he wasn't trying to get his boy to be famous! Then why does he keep complaining about in which newspaper did his kid not get on the cover??? How ironic!
