Political Science Nonsense

Yup. That's what Mr Chou Cheng Ngok thinks of his degree in Political Science (hopefully, half in jest :)). For those who are unaware, Mr Chou is the chairman of Popular Holdings Limited, the owner and franchisor of the many Popular Bookshops around the country and region. As explained in an interview with the Star today:

And the reason the affable Singapore-born businessman chose to do political science at Wayne State University in Detroit? He dropped out of medicine after figuring it wasn’t his cup of tea, but, too afraid to come home to face his father’s fury, he stayed on to do something he thought was easy – “political science is just talking nonsense”.

Ouch. Ouch again!

So obviously I picked an easy course to obtain my degree, and Kian Ming picked an easy one to secure his doctorate. And we clearly don't cut it to become doctors! >Sob!< (Well, I'm not sure about Kian Ming, but I certainly am not a doctor material :))
