Why Straits Times want to have this article before the new year begin?

Because it generates reads? There will always be those who couldn't benefit from the system and I am happy that the 26 year old is able to find himself. I have encountered some GEP 'late bloomers' like him and I find they have the same amount of bitterness in the system. It is sad because these students can clearly do better in another environment.

In all fairness, once someone loses the family support aka problems at home, it becomes very challenging to cope with the demands in IP which requires a lot of discipline and initiative to manage one's time properly and be responsible for one's learning.

This could happen in any IP school. But like what you mentioned, top schools' news always generates more interest among our education-centric populace so they get highlighted more often than not.
