Ouch did I just step on a kitten tail? Sorry. . .

Thanks to quick response.

U must be Dr Chee lah or his buddy.

But i still feel cheated!!Dr Chee said in his site:

The book includes a chapter written by Professor of Southeast Asian Studies, Terence Harper, from Cambridge University.  

''Professor of Southeast Asian Studies'' is a FAKE TITLE!!

First,he is just a Reader.Secondly,has Cambridge awarded

this title to him?

But the reponse above shown

''Dr Tim Harper

Reader in Southeast Asian and Imperial History''

OMG!! In complete plain English language,Doctor is not equivalent to Professor,

so does Reader .

2.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reader_(academic_rank)

Reader (academic rank)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

<!-- start content -->

In the academic hierarchy in the United Kingdom and some universities in Australia and New Zealand, reader is the rank between senior lecturer (or principal lecturer in the New Universities) and professor. The title of Reader is given in recognition of research and scholarship.

Reader is NOT a Professor!!

3.So,before we going to read Dr Chee 's book.

We are cheated in board day light.

My English in very bad.But i still understand explanations from

simple dictionary.

Dr Chee and his buddies,can u refrain from misleading us again?

U no need cheat us He is a Professor to brighten your book

or to impress us.A lectuer or student  from Cambridge will do,

so long what they tell us is facts!!

Black is black.White is white.

Why do u follow James Gomez telling lie in board day light?

Thanks God there was CCTV.If not,how the junior staffs

in Election Dept face their family,neighbours,friends and relatives

(in order of meeting frequency)??

2.Dr Chee,Will u correct this minor mistake expressly?

Every one will make mistake,intenionally or not!!

3.Reader or Doctor  is not Professor!!

Officially,he is not a Professor,just a Reader!!

CSJ or Harper's buddies can call him Chancellor in private.

But as a scholar and PhD,Chee Soon Juan shall

address him properly when his audience is public.

This leave room to doubt his intention for addressing

him as Professor.

1st you say he does not exist and did not publish anything,

 

"there is no such person currently in the staff list.

...he has not published any"

 

now you want to quarrel about his titles...

 

You are just an as-sniffing blind dog that thinks he/she is a lion....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Damned Despots and their as-sniffing dogs....

You are an Idiot arent you T.S ?

You are like a two headed snake .

I dont usually reply to topics , But i will in this case & i did .

I am sorry i dunt have too good impression of CSJ.

Thats why i exam his writing word by word.

I think he want use The title to make this so

called pROFESSOR more credible.

In academic circle,like in SAF,there is strict rule of title,

MAJ is MAJ,pl dunt cal him LT COL.

U will embrass him.

If i am a COL,can u cal me General?

 

SG PAP get at least 2 Senior or Minister of State.

They are Associate Professor.

Strait Times never call them Professor.

 

U read my previous posts .like A matter of Chee etc.

Then u will know them better.

 

Minister of State for Defence Associate Professor Koo Tsai Kee.

Associate Professor Ho Peng Kee, Senior Minister Of State For Law.

I am sorry i dunt have too good impression of CSJ.

Thats why i exam his writing word by word.

here's the problem.... mr poh....

the two links are either pure sdp or sdp-connected.

refering to such links probably underlines how one feels about any particular issue. if one is to really fair, one should provide links for pro and against...

 

.... i've always doubted the 60/40 rating you give to lky.... i'd say you will have zero liking for lky.

i'd think something along this line is a fairer view...

http://www.time.com/time/asia/asia/magazine/1999/990823/lee1.html

the two links are either pure sdp or sdp-connected.

The two links provide facts.

There is no false propaganda in those two links.

 

Below is example of false propaganda or disinformation:

Awwwww............

 

Pussy cat got pwn again!!!

 

Still clueless as usual.

 

 

 

Oh no!!!!!

 

It's a global conspiracy by the independant medias "to do Singapore in".

fair enough.... this is the kind of rebuttal you should do first, not the sdp site.

lionnoisy,

You have obviously done no research whatsoever before posting a statement.  Please refrain from posting from now on unless you clarify your facts with someone else first.  And please for goodness sake, Readers at Universities in UK are well recognised figures in the industry and academic field where there is normally 1-2 in a University department of 20 lecturers.  To be a reader, you definitely must be a lecturing Professor for a good 10 years before even being considered in that position.

 

s

right......

so being a reader will be so much less credible than being a professor...

right.......

wah.......

what a big hooha sia......

CSJ BLUFF us sia.......

wah........

I can say i am one of the most researched forumers before i post.

Of course ,my English is not the good model lah!!

Some body say CSJ calls Harper PROFESSOR as a mark of respect.

It is ok in private,but sure not in writing where the readers dunt know

the full picture.Readers just treat him full Professor.

Therefore,we have reasons to doubt CSJ's intention of caling Harper

as Professor.

 

CSJ said:

The book includes a chapter written by Professor of Southeast Asian Studies, Terence Harper, from Cambridge University.

CSJ is a academic.He should know every word and letter must be

clear and leave no room for misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

U read all these thesis that there are many refernce to prove

every sentence they write.

2.Reader is below the rank of Professor.FULL STOP.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_rank

United Kingdom

[edit] Academic ranks

[edit] Academic Teaching and Research/ Teaching and Scholarship Career Pathway

• Professor
• Reader
• Senior Lecturer or Senior Teaching Fellow (or Principal Lecturer in post-1992 institutions)
• Lecturer, or Teaching Fellow (or Senior Lecturer in post-1992 institutions)

Do u agree officailly,Professor isnot equal to Reader?

Can i call CSJ Master Chee Soon Juan iso Dr Chee?

 

CSJ can also calls him Chancellor in private---i dunt mind.

Can u guys write to Cambridge Chanelloer to ask if it is ok

Harper can be addressed in newspaper as Professor,without any explanations?
