When math editors in Singapore would prostitute themselves for financial gain, by condoning practices like changing authors’ names to foreign ones when their titles are sold overseas (earning them zero royalties), or reusing their contents for similar titles without their permission.
Hoping to receive a fat bonus or secure a fast promotion, some editors of Singapore math textbooks have no qualms about condoning the dirty tricks of Babylon math to get ahead of their peers, or to join the management team in the shortest time.

Short for “Vegan Math.” Math titles that indirectly promote a vegan lifestyle, by having zero questions on diary products like meat and milk, and excluding any brain-unfriendly chickens-and-rabbits and eggs word problems.

Short for fourth generation math syllabus change in Singapore, since the Y2K bug. The Ministry of Education (MOE) is reverting to its old ways of controllably and uncompetitively writing its own elementary math content, instead of outsourcing the task to publishers.
Singapore’s MOE’s rationale to have an open tender in the late nineties was to allow the public to have a choice of “quality” textbooks from both local and foreign publishers, but with 4G Singapore math unfolding, teachers and parents will soon be left with zero choices.

To disrespectfully kneel instead of standing up during the National Anthem to protest against politicians you don’t like, because of their discriminatory practices, racist views, or offensive comments.
Imagine if every time an employee or football player doesn’t like something about their CEO or president, they take a knee—aren’t there better ways to justifiably convey their anger or frustration?
