As of working in any company, you are judge by your output. If you are an investment banker, and you do not really produce any investment returns, you are out. As such, i feel that Dr. Cai's input on his situation are highly biased.

two sides of a coin.

The evils of colonization still lingers on. Yes, the Brits brought in systems and laws and what not, but we were the ones who built our country up from swamps and slumps!

Good angmos are a pleasure to work with. Bad angmos make use of their skin colour to p$#^ you over and go back to their kampung after making the money they do not deserve.

I encourage each and everyone to question these foreign talents. Make them prove their worth not just by the colour of their skins or their oratory skills. Need to really level up the playing field here people!

Such deans not only know nothing about research, have hardly any referred papers to your name, and is yet heading the departments in the universities whom are supposed to produce, generate high quality research work. One suh dean can be found in the Pharmacy department of the NUS, where they put on a wayang to hire top researchers internationationally but put one of theirs in place, also one without any credible research work to their credit.

In institutes, like A-star, they just hire from "branded" universities thinking that this will work wonders. We have already seen several failures..
