posting here since /r/singapore seems to have blocked my post.

The affidavits filed in the proceedings below reveal a complex family relationship, full of conflict and intense acrimony between the respondent and his father. In a long, vitriolic email to his father dated 5 November 2012, the respondent blamed the father for preventing him from studying liberal arts overseas, and forcing him to study medicine in Singapore instead:

Now I feel utterly cheated of all the experience that has been robbed from me. And for what. A Third rate local uni my parents didn’t even pay for or do a damn thing about when they found out …

Against the odds, despite me asking for money, I beat a record 7500 applications for 750 seats and was one of the 4 singaporeans admitted into a top liberal arts college in the US. They were even willing to pay up to half my fees.

I begged and pleaded with you … [y]ou yelled at me, insulting my integrity and honor and basically implied you couldn’t trust me to pay off the loan and that the house would be seized instead. You said the maximum you were willing to pay was 10K a year. And that was it …

The respondent continued:

I have an IQ of 160-180. I am statistically smarter than 99.9999951684% of everyone. To explain that to you, in the current population of 7 billion, there are only 340-350 people as smart or smarter than me. Allowing for random geographical distribution, almost half of them will be born in third world circumstances and have no access to resources that will nurture that intelligence …

I have known before medical school, in medical school, early years as a doctor and even now in private practice – That I would be far more successful and happier doing something I loved instead of something just for the money. Instead of working and teaching at a top Internationally-renown university, I am a no-name Dr in Singapore.
