http://www.temasekreview.com/2010/08/14/junior-college-students-forced-to-attend-yog-games/

Im a 17 year old from a Junior College. I find it absoulutely absurd that we have been given a letter from the college which states that we have been SPECIALLY chosen to attend one of the YOG events.
I find it absurd that we have been asked or rather mobilised to go for the Football match this Sunday at Jln Besar Stadium when the government for the past few months has been telling us, we members of the public that sale of YOG tickets for the events ”are going very well”.
This leads me to wonder why then is MOE issuing a directive to colleges to get students to go for some of these events. The truth is that many of these events are only in their preliminary stages and thus no one would want to attend. Thus it would look very very bad for the host country if no one were to attend these games.
But honestly, I think we are being treated like slaves. The college has handed down instructions that anyone who do not attend these games will have to do 6 hours of Corrective Work Order. Why use such drastic methods ?
Furthermore, the college had also forced us to go down and support the Torch bearers. So that it would look good on newspaper.. this is rather oppressive and I see no difference between the YOG committee, MOE, the government and the Communists in China where people were forced to attend events just to make up the numbers.
IM WRITING THIS ON BEHALF OF EVERY JUNIOR COLLEGE STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN FORCED TO ATTEND ANY YOG EVENTS/GAMES.

I will try to scan a copy for all to see. But interestingly, the letter stated that the students are not permitted to carry anything that has the words "Nike" and "Adidas" (I think those were the two brands mentioned).
Simply what this means is that MOE had bought 80,000 tickets and they need to use them to show support for the YOG.
I wonder what the auditor will say about the purchase of these tickets. The funds were used for something that has nothing to do with MOE core buisness.

Nike and Adidas refused to sponsor, so they boycott them.

Anyway, my sec. sch. littlest cousin kena volunteer appointment letter also a couple of days before opening ceremony. She went for a day and went TTSH OP Clinic the next day. It cost my aunt S$100+ but she got her MC and letter of excuse.

Even no MC what can school do. Just tell them have fever and only buy medicine from pharmacy or take medicine still left in drawer what can school do?
Buy medicine from pharmacy is cheaper lo. If need to see doctor ask the principal school want to pay the fee or not?:D
If I were the parent if kena action, I will bring this matter up to main news. Make sure principal will be mark.
 
Nike and Adidas do not suppport child labourers and slaves !
 
What sportwear brand sponsor YOG?
Drink?
Car maker?

I was told motorla also, & no other carbonated drinks other than a certain brand is allowed...
 
So you guys will teach a child to lie and get a MC to avoid going for a school event (even thought they hate it).

And when the child grows up to keng during NS and work, you condemn him?

youths cannot be charged at detention barracks like SAF personnel mah n they didnt commit any crime to be sent to prison so CWO might be the only way to punish them lor.

Why so scared . If not happy don't ever let your children attend it .

If worst come to worst . Take some public measure !

my neighbour actually banned their youths from going out during YOG period except for schools.
 
This looks more like something someone could easily make from MS Word.

Hope something more credible appears, showing the letterhead and name of the school. Better yet, consent forms from multiple schools even.

Maybe a photo taken with some surroundings would be good too.
