To those making fun of his Engleesh rite, I understooded exactly what he was trying to say. and he is complaining about tutors and lecturers whose english carnot even B understooded. So what's the problem?
If all you can say after reading the thing is to say 'he should improve his engwish if he wants to be took seriously' you are really stupid idiot. Why don't you try writing some essay or argument in your non native language, stupeed dumbos omfg idiotz.
Anyway, I SUPPORT YOUR CAUSE!!! jia you and I hope you actually get some change from The Man, otherwise at least I'm sure this email is making him sweat a bit anyway. -

Form a 'club' of more than 10 people need to register with MHA's Registry of Society, need to pay S$200 unless NTU officially 'accepts' his 'club'. Prior to fulfil either of them, he better dun do anything stupid. Hope you all also don't 'crazy around' with him.
So if you know that guy personally, kindly 'advise' him before something 'ugly' happens. He can submit his application via the Registry of Societies Electronic System (ROSES -

Are you part of the cause? If so, I do not rate your chances. You see, in the real, adult world, presentation is extremely important. It is irrelevent what his first langauge is. It is irrelevent that he 'can be understood'.Originally posted by John Wong:To those making fun of his Engleesh rite, I understooded exactly what he was trying to say. and he is complaining about tutors and lecturers whose english carnot even B understooded.

You do not seem to understand that. -sigh- well - can't say I haven't tried. -
Only an idiot won't be able to comprehend the message behind the email. Maybe when you're able to deal with substance rather than form should you come to this forum to post comments.
Fool. -

Just like lawyers, Engineers have a certain 'style' of English which appear to people outside the engineering circle as 'questionable standards'.Originally posted by ditzy:Not me not me, I only say NTU engineering undergrads the english standards is questionable nia.

Pay up to the King's ransom. This is Singapore.

woohoo! the news has spread on strait times.
dat guy is a 2nd Year Mechanical student, Asian scholar from malaysia, penang.
i wonder how he's going through for the rest of 2 years.
i know many of the students in ntu will feel the unjust of the system in sch. but tis kid sounded really rude by commenting how bad the prof's teaching n mocked at his seniors. he could have phrase his sentence in a more polite way... -

"singaporean cant be bothered, foreign students too busy in their studies. it is apathetic"
i think dat's the price to pay for being too noisy.

Scholars are usually sponsored one right? Got scholarship one right?

yeah! i wonder how will ASIAN feel rite now? worst case dat student might get his scholarship terminated and kicked out of uni.Originally posted by ditzy:Scholars are usually sponsored one right? Got scholarship one right?
even if he's lucky, his movement will be blacklisted by the prof, staffs n master students from now onward for the comments he made.
is it so hard to adapt pple's english? i guess patience in understanding difference types of english is also a challenge in uni.

I have a Chinese flatmate who has been speaking english for only 3 years. His standard of English, both written and spoken, apparently surpasses that of this 'scholar'.
Conclusion, if you have bad english, you are young, and you can afford an education, its your fault full stop. Stop making up excuses for laziness and incompetence.
There is a time and place for "text speak" and bad english. This scholar has clearly not grasped that concept. -
to each his own lah. heck care cos if u want to learn, it's up to u. good or bad english doesnt matter cos as long as u communicate well, it's fine.Originally posted by lwflee:Ah yes, the oft used excuse by those unable or can't be bothered to improve their English.

to ask a engineer to brush up his english is as if asking a doctor to write properly as his handwriting is horrible. -
Hey, I agree. It is a choice.

My point is that in this instance, and for what he wants to achieve, language and presentation is important. -
At least he choose to stand up for something he believes in. It is outrageous that individuals are putting him down because of his language. There are others who possess flawless english, but decided to keep mum over the whole issue. These individuals should be the ones whom we should chide for doing nothing.
