The Ministry of Manpower has confirmed that your First-Class Honours degree is officially less useful than a wet tissue paper used to chope a hawker centre table.

A staggering 80% of Singaporean employers have abandoned academic merit, pivoting instead towards "AI fluency," which is corporate speak for being able to grovel to a chatbot.

The report suggests that decades of childhood trauma and tuition-induced insomnia were entirely for nothing, as firms now prefer candidates who can coax ChatGPT into doing their entire job.

"Wah lau, study until siao for twenty years, then now tell me my cert is garbage?" complained local graduate, Teck Meng. "Now I must talk to AI nicely like it's my ancestor just to get entry-level pay, sia."

This satire is based on a real news story.
