Have you tried making a HN post or otherwise bring attention to this? My impression is he got a bunch of undeserved clout, especially in light of how things turned out subsequently.

Oh that's new to me, I didn't know that's a trend (Singaporeans going to Malaysia to escape the education system).
> I actually tried applying to some SG universities but was rejected (I have terrible grades)
Sorry to hear that. Something I have learned much later in life is that whereas schooling rewards individuals for being "all-rounded" and naturally caps the returns for being good at something (at most you can get 100 or 4.0 or wtv), in the real world, the returns for being really good at something (as you seem to be) are really uncapped.

I don’t really have the energy to argue over it. I was also advised by my lecturers to stay away from reverse engineering / anything that can be used against me legally now that I’m in the UK which has quite murky laws.
I’m not one to hold a grudge so him getting clout for his original response doesn’t concern me. If I knew he was on HN, I wouldn’t have posted it.
