Most students interviewed by TODAY opposed their union’s initiative, saying that the checks of students rooms sound “invasive” and “heavy-handed”.
Incoming computing student Joshua Wong, 21, said that being constantly monitored and forced to go to bed at night “feels like the military” and would “spoil the mood” of orientation camps meant for students to socialise and make friends.
Mr Ryan Leow, 21, a second-year law student said that checks of the students’ rooms will “infringe their privacy” and “instil a culture of fear”. “Enforcing rules is one thing, but turning NUS into a surveillance state is another.”
