Is our Society and System producing talents and promote innovations

World renowned top medical researchers Copeland and Jenkins leaving Singapore, this couple is the hope of tackling cancer, not far from a major breakthrough in this field, genuine foreign talents. Heard from some common friends of the story before ST repo...rted yesterday. A very sad day and big lost to Singapore. A renowned oncologist at SGH and his wife a NUS professor specializes in nano tech migrated to Australia 5 years old ago ~ reason tired of their school kids struggling to cope in our very competitive school system. I wonder how a competitive school system can produce talents and promote innovation in our society, hope the Copeland and Jenkins is an isolated case, not we are unable to retain foreign talents after spending billions $ to bring in more than a million of so call foreign talents!

  1. John, just a friendly advice: I suggest that you check your grammar before publication of notes even as short as this one.

    It makes for easier reading and comprehension, besides safeguarding your (verbal) reputation.
