Singapore Formalises Ghostwriting Economy To Streamline Student Academic Failure.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) has officially sanctioned a new ‘shadow curriculum’ to address the crippling pressure on Singaporean students: Assignment Ghostwriting. Sources confirm that MOE realised policing the underground market was a losing battle, so they’ve nationalised it. Top ‘ghost-auteurs’ can now register with ACRA, declare their ghostwritten theses as ‘intellectual property’ and pay a new 15% ‘Effort Diversification Tax’. “Steady lah, at least now the government take a cut,” remarked one parent queuing for a Grade A essay on particle physics. The move is expected to boost GDP, provided the Ministry of Finance can calculate how to tax the sheer existential dread embedded in a first-class dissertation written by a secondary school student’s overworked uncle.
