Singapore students gained a total of 18 medals at four International Olympiads for Science and Mathematics. First, Singapore team received one Gold and three Silver medals at the 21st International Biology Olympiad (IBO) held in Changwon, Korea. Singapore was placed in ninth in a field of 233 students from 58 countries. Second, at the 41st International Physics Olympiad (IPO). Singapore team received one Gold and four Silver medals. This time Singapore was placed in seventh in a field of 367 students from 82 countries. This year is an improvement over Singapore's eighth placing in 2009. Third, at the 42nd International Chemistry Olympiad. The Singapore team received two Gold and two Silver medals. Singapore was placed in fourth in a field of 267 students from 68 countries. Fourth, at the 51st International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) held in Kazakhstan, the Singapore team received four Silver, one Bronze medal and one Honourable Mention. Singapore was placed 22nd in a field of 517 students from 96 countries.

In my opinion, nowadays a kids are clever. Some of them are genius. May be Singapore need to build an event to find a new team for compete in an international events and this will help students who wanted to try how best they are. .
