      And actually, if you mean wealth and status by 'top', the most gifted are rarely the ones there.

      No, I mean top of a chosen field.

      Even then, it depends on the field. Some fields require more than just giftedness in that field, like social skills, organisational skills, presentation skills etc.[/quote]I'm not sure why you are nit-picking? I think it is obvious that success in life (or any endeavour) is multi-factorial, so when I say \"cream floats to the top eventually\", how do you think that is supposed to be read?

                        From public point of view, as long as gov skim 1% of cohort. Public expects the 1% to do job that supposely to be TOP from other cohorts. Because gov using our tax to subsidize these 1%. Gov has cut the long grasses for them to walk leh.


                        At the end, better keep low profile if can’t perform to the expectations of netizens.

                        Worst still, in the army. It is a laughing stock those GEPers who has no EQ.
                        Even own relatives are expecting high when comparing cousins with cousins.

                        Wasting National money and resources in 5 years, cannot even mold TOP among TOP people to run Sinkapore. Still depend in Foreign Talent.
