Gov uni > Private uni (sg)

The picture above is a page taken from an English specimen paper from UniSIM. Here is some of the abstract which I find quite interesting and rather contradicting.

They say obesity is linked to diabetes, but is there concrete proof of that? How
many of our fat children have diabetes? (F. 26, housewife)
Well, first of all, this piece of reading is about some Trim and Fit programme (TAF) which is conducted in school. I assume that the youngest possible age is 6 or 7, the age of primary school entry (if there's TAF programme in PAP kindergartens, you can go whoop their asses, I'll provide the gun fire). Anyway, please take a look at the age of the interviewee. Hmm, a 26 years old housewife huh? So it means that she got married before and gave birth at the age of 19 (considering that her kid just got into primary 1) ? Well, that's still physically possible. But wait, how about this?
Being fat is an epidemic? Well, not in my opinion. I think if you are fat, but
healthy, then it's OK. (F, 23, waitress)
Erm, if her kid is 7 (primary 1), then it would be 16 when she first gave birth ... hmm, oh well, still at a legal age, barely though. Anyone can also argue that she never mentioned anything about having her own kid or whatsoever, so she might not even be a parent. Alright, fine, even though this interview was put under the column labelled as "parents", that can still be true. But what about this?
In our Aisan culture, being fat is a sign of prosperity. Why can they leave the
fat kids alone? They should do something about those undernourished students
instead of making my son feel like a criminal just because he's fat. (F, 21,
Private tutor)
Apart from the fact that this passage is quite erroneous considering that it came out from a private tutor's mouth (I know it's fake but, its their responsibility to make it look real, right?), the age really look ugly here. 21 years old. Hmmm, if we minus 21 with 7, what will we get? ahhh, yes, here we go. 14! So is UniSIM trying to promote young motherhood or premature motherhood or what?! Come on man, use some brains when you try to fake a source or something =.="... And don't bloody hell come and tell me that the son she got was adopted. I will kill you if that's the last thing I'll do :@
