Haha I'm Daniel Ong (the one headed to Stanford to do economics). Engineering definitely isn't dead- I'm planning to do at least a Computer Science minor here. I think all disciplines stand to contribute a lot to the Civil service- like a CS major can find out how to optimize computing frameworks. We need a wide range- economists, engineers, humanities people etc. for more perspectives I guess.

Anyway, to the comments above, I live in a hudc flat. Is that hdb or private?
