Really, how can there be only 1 or 2 types of elitism?
Isn't there too much obsession already in Singapore, with:
1) academic elitism
2a) conformity elitism (coming out on top of what seems safe and proper to do)
2b) kiasu elitism (grabbing at whatever it takes to stay ahead)?
These over-celebrated forms of elitism do not guarantee the rest of excellence out there, including:
3) civic elitism (excelling at caring for society)
4) entrepreneurial elitism
(excelling at transforming own visions into concrete reality;
especially but not confined to money-making businesses;
there are, after all, social entrepreneurs)
5) sensible elitism
(excelling at doing what is right and balanced;
strong quality in, for example, those who practise environmental green-ness).
