Expert Suggests Reading For Pleasure As If This Is Not Singapore

Educational experts are suggesting Primary 6 students "read for pleasure," a concept as alien to Singaporeans as a free parking lot.

The guide claims using words like "melancholy" can help a child achieve an AL1 grade and a future career in gaslighting subordinates.

Local parents responded by buying Shakespeare’s entire collection and taping pages to their child’s eyelids.

"Read for pleasure? My girl only read assessment book and Shopee receipt only leh," said Mrs. Lim.

Experts noted that if a child doesn't use the word "exquisite" to describe a curry puff, they have already failed at life.

Students are urged to find their "own style," as long as it’s identical to ten thousand other over-stressed robots.

This satire is based on a real news story.
