I wonder if it is possible to pin point the moment or occasion when she stopped being a intellectual and joined in intelligentsia. Sell out!

That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters... ...You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it. The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy.

I believe what your question refers to are not "Intellectuals" but rather "Dissidents" who must be destroyed for the purpose of Hegemony. Why aren't the PAP 10 out of 10? If anyone says so they must be jealous of the PAP's success. Have you not heard of this school of thought? It comes from the very famous Primary Schoolian branch of Political Science. That being said, Singapore(PAP) Boleh! Intellectuals in Singapore are the ones like Kishore Mahbubani.
