  Will there be a difference in pay between someone who has an NUS bachelor's degree with a pass and someone with an NUS bachelor's degree with merit??????????
  
  My results so far are only suitable for a degree with a pass....I wonder if it's gonna be a big problem..hmm.

  I beg to differ. I tink it varies from faculty to faculty. For some Merit could be the top 50% with honours occupying among the 5% of that 50%. For some Merit could be the top 30% with honours occupying among the 5% of that 30%. So in a way you could say Merit is 3 person out of 10. And honours is 1 out of that 3. Of cuz for some faculties it is juz a fanciful title to it

  You: "Wah so good ar."
  Me: "At least better than you lor....pass nia, can do wat fuk?"

  At least the LP a bit bigger so can get entry interview to the hole. Your LP smaller so queue up behind me. I cannot enter or reject to enter then it's your turn ok?
