Cheating in NUS? You don't say?

Found this rather interesting post about cheating in NUS via Tomorrow.sg. The blogger quite rightly points out that many NUS students have a very blase attitude towards cheating, regarding it as just another way to get the highest possible grade on their assignments/tests/etc. He raises a very good question- what does it mean to get such high grades when you've compromised your integrity to do so? I'm in the School of Computing and I've seen more than a few examples of this myself. Personally, I think it's just sad that the rat-race mentality, shared by too-many people in this country, leads to this kind of behaviour.
