How can someone make such mistake? There are three government funded
universities in Singapore NOT two !

NUS since its founding in 1905, has since evolved into a comprehensive
university offering courses in major disciplines such as the Sciences,
Engineering, Technology, Law, Arts & Social Sciences and Medicine.
NTU was set up in 1981 to provide facilities for tertiary education and research
in engineering and technology. It has since incorporated the National Institue
of Education, the teachers' training college and expanded to include
Accountancy, Business and Communication Studies.

SMU was established in 2000 as the first publicly-funded private university with
a focus on business and management programmes.
