The 2014 Fifa World Cup will be screened live at an additional 17 Community Centres (CCs) due to "overwhelming interest", the People's Association (PA) announced on Thursday.

The live screenings at an initial 40 CCs had met with "positive feedback" from residents, the PA said, with over 250,000 so far attending the live broadcasts.

The additional 17 CCs are: Changi Simei CC, Clementi CC, Hwi Yoh CC, Jurong Spring CC, Kaki Bukit CC, Kampong Chai Chee CC, Kim Seng CC, Nanyang CC, Pek Kio CC, Queenstown CC, Siglap CC, Taman Jurong CC, Tampines East CC, Tanjong Pagar CC, Toa Payoh East CC, Ulu Pandan CC and Yew Tee CC.

Residents can contact the CCs directly for the latest match screening schedules, the PA said. The screening schedules are also available on www.pa.gov.sg

Can u imagine what time it is during WC matches. From 12 am onwards and mind you those pictures were taken when there were matches at 3 and 6 am and you need to factor in travelling time from their homes and to the cc it's like one cc for a few neighbourhoods. The kids are fortunate that it's now school holidays but seems like the adults are really free too.

One more thing that is rather curious about that picture it's a live screening so all the matches take place at night. You can see the outside of the cc at the entracne and it looks like it is day time that doesn't look like florescent light.

Thought sinkies all have high speed bb internet and at least have 3G speed on their phones. With so many sites streaming still need to travel to cc to watch? You want to hear sinkie commentators?

It pretty much confirms what I have been saying all along.... soccer fans are idiots. :rolleyes:

They're in the same category as the clowns who complain about the CPF minimum sum.

The 2nd part to the story......


The screening schedule for each CC will be available at the PA website at www.pa.gov.sg.

TRS was sent some photos of Sengkang cc last night at 12am and it would appear that the 'overcrowding' is due mainly to the number of foreign workers.

One TRS reader sent us the photos explaining that about 80% of the crowd seated at the CC were foreign workers.

"It seems that the thrills of Free milo, Free biscuits, Aircon, Proper seating chairs (compared to grass/concrete) are just too good to miss." he wrote.

We urge our readers to be nice to foreigners, they also deserve to watch the World Cup.
