Local blogger Miss Jiang Lai, 22, claims the only boys worth dating are those from Anglo-Chinese School (Independent).
In her blog, she dissed boys from other elite schools calling them "ugly", "poor", "boring" and "uptight".
She claims to be a relief teacher and her comments were aimed at her former students at a primary school here. She said it was meant to "instruct my girls" and "give them a heastart".
Not surprisingly, her comments have drawn a lot of attention from netizens.

Comments
Why does this kind of minority opinion warrant the front page when there are so many other pressing issues at hand?
Obviously, different girls have different criteria for choosing guys, and Ms Jiang Lai's opinion is not reflective of other girls' opinion.
Her criteria is looks and status.
However, there are plenty of girls, in fact, I would say majority of girls, who wouldn't mind a 'boring' guy, because they measure a guy by how much that guy loves them, and not how good-looking, successful, interesting, charismatic, etc they are.
I actually pity Ms Jiang Lai, because she has a high probability of ending up with exactly the kind of guy she wants, and that guy probably might be a jerk.
It also casts doubt on her own character. It takes two to clap. Such a character like Ms Jiang, woe to the guy who dates her; he must be a fool.
How did my comment by her
How did my comment by her teacher and person she proclaimed she loved Gary Frankford's letter as published on her blog http://msjianglai.wordpress.com on April 17th get removed?
It clearly shows he found that and told her she was delusional and a danger to herself and society and should see a psychiatrist and check into a mental hospital.
And look at her continued abusurdity to engage the principal of Hwa Chong Instution and Lee & Lee for attention and showing up at HCI to demand a meeting and proposal.
And the New Paper devoted an entire front page and 2 pages within to feed her ego, narcissism and madness, that even an untrained medical person can see as a ABnormal condition.
Please give us better quality reporting, like investigating and finding out what problems she caused Mdm Chua Pei Pei, her ex principal and employer at Teck Ghee Pri School and the poor victim Misheel whom she wrote extensively in her blog.
By challenging people to throw acid at her and saying she has a "fan club", and opening declaring she wants to have sex with or rape minors should qualify her for a police case, and for declaring that Singapore will be destroyed in 5 years should get the ISD to check further on her mental state on how we medically and psychologically screen out lunatics when granted PR to these PRC and educate them in Singapore (St Nicholas Girls Sch, ACJC and MOE).
It is not space science and doesnt take good journalistic skills to exposed such lunacy when checks are made with her ex classmates and acquaintances before publishing sensationalist news on a person like her.

From: Gary Frankford
To: Jiang Lai
Subject: Reality
I looked at your blog again. I find it too much to bear. I will never look at it again.
You are mentally ill, Jiang Lai. And now is the time to get a handle on it. If you wait, you’ll find that you won’t be able to. That’s who’s in mental hospitals: primarily young women who either could not or would not face the truth about themselves.
Your mother is toxic to you. Better come to grips with that bit of reality as well, before she finishes you off for good. Imagine, telling an intelligent young girl how “pretty” she is, over and over again, to the point where it begins to resemble xxxual pandering! And now look at you. A mess. Are you that stupid, that you can’t figure this out? Evidently, you are. Read Tennessee Williams’s “Suddenly Last Summer,” why don’t you? But who knows what you’re capable of understanding any longer?
You would think I’d be “nicer” to you, given how bad off you are, wouldn’t you Well, I was “nice” for far too long, and now you get no more “nice.” You get reality. Don’t like it? Tough shxt. I don’t give a damn what you don’t like.
When you can finally admit that you are a sick young woman who needs help, I’ll do everything I can for you. But you aren’t even close to being that person. You lash out at the world and call the rest of us “stupid,” while you remind us of how superior you are. It’s a sick thing to do. Ergo, you’re sick!
This deterioration of your personality began in Hawaii. Something occurred there. You arrived back in Portland a ”changed” person. That morphed into wholesale megalomania, self=delusion, and—frankly—the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever experienced—the complete collapse of a person I loved. But that was nothing, compared to what you are now.
Trouble is, you believe it’s real, what you’ve become. I assure you that the only thing “real” about you at present is the danger you’re in—the danger of either going completely insane or the danger of committing suicide. That’s the road you’re on, kiddo. Better get off it.
My message to you isn’t going to change. When you’re ready to hear it, you’ll hear it. Until then, take care.
Gary
Looks like there was peace in
Looks like there was peace in Singapore after yesterday's HCI episode and everyone
and school could get on with their business and studies and prepare for
their important exams. Then she broke lose from that temporary silence and went bersek again.
The 2 reporters Linette Heng and Marie Lim of The New Paper
and their editors who fueled her narcissism and put her on front page
news should shoulder some social responsibility as journalists albeit an
“afternoon paper” for the masses. You need to dig deeper to investigate your
story on the unfolding saga on what happens to Ms Jiang Lai, what really
happened at TGPS, interview her school mates, principal and teachers
from SNGS, ACJC (she wore that T shirt for her TNP autograph session)on
her state of mind during those years. Also 021, 018, 019 IDD is free to
USA, so it is interesting to interview the President of Reed College Mr
Colin Diver (E-mail presidentsoffice@reed.edu.
Phone: 503-771-1112) to see how they condone their college email, and
their student smearing their reputation and dragging it through mud in
Singapore. What Alexandra Wallace has said and done at UCLA is so mild
compared to Ms Jiang, and yet she was booted out to protect UCLA’s good
name. Maybe the rest of Singapore should write to Mr Colin to help bring her back to Reed for repair and rehab.
