"Singapore A Levels tougher than UK A Levels"

Eagle, did you write this letter? ; P

I AGREE with Mr Ng Qi Siang on the rigour of Singapore's A levels ("Give S'pore A levels more recognition"; Thursday).
I have a friend who studied at the same secondary school as me, completed his O levels, then migrated to Britain and did his A levels there.
When we met up recently on his visit to Singapore, he told me that the British A levels were similar to Singapore's O levels, with just a few additional topics.
When I checked out British A-level papers online, I found that Singapore's A levels were certainly more difficult and required greater critical thinking.
The public should be made aware of this difference, and I agree with Mr Ng that more recognition should be given to Singapore's A levels.
I also agree with him that if Singapore's A levels are considered to be on a par with Britain's for University admissions worldwide, then this may be unfair to Singapore students.
