There is little evidence on the subject of Ptolemy's ancestry apart from what can be drawn from the details of his name (see above); however modern scholars refer to Abu Ma?shar's account as erroneous and it is no longer doubted that the astronomer who wrote the Almagest also wrote the Tetrabiblos as its astrological counterpart, In 2017 Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) was declared as the country's sixth autonomous public university The university was previously established in 2005 as uniSIM University by the SIM Group Thereafter it undergone restructuring and is currently under the ambit of the Ministry of Education.
