2. Gold award for Singapore Physics Olympiad
3. Gold award for Singapore Chemistry Olympiad (Practical)
4. Gold award for Singapore Olympiad for Informatics
5. Full marks for AMC 12 and AIME
6. Gold award for his individual project in Singapore Mathematical Festival
7. In the best math and science class in one of the best junior colleges in Singapore
8. Represents college in various math competition and did VERY well
.....

this is all i know of his record, but i never heard of him taking up any post in Extra Curricular Activities or Class Commitee or Boarding School...

It's not only impressive. It's monstrous !!

Actually in my opinion, I don't think that stas are for real... 4 olympiad gols are insane..

and how come he didn't get to IMO(international math olympiad) if he aced the top rank in the national math olympiad?

Still I don't think Olympiad gold awards in four fields of science is not possible in the range of human...

Or is that we have a genius whose brain got way too brilliant from mutation?

How hard is AMC 12 and AIME? I've never seen these tests in my life since my school doesn't even know they exist.

To illustrate how hard the Singapore Olympiads are, a guy who got Bronze in SPhO got Gold in IPhO and another guy who got HM in SPhO got Bronze in IPhO...

Singapore Physics Olympiads so hard bcos only there are thousand over contestants only less than ten people getting gold award.(perhaps for Chemistry Olympiad too) but Math Olympiad has much more gold awardees =)
