All schools will be allotted tickets and, as far as possible, be matched to watch the preliminary competitions that involve their twinned National Olympic Committees (NOC). -- PHOTO: SINGAPORE YOUTH OLYMPICS ORGANISING COMMITTEE

STUDENTS in Singapore will be out in full force when the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) hits town in August.
The Education Ministry (MOE) is buying 80,000, or a quarter of the available tickets, for students from primary schools to junior colleges to watch both preliminary and final competitions during the Aug 14 - 26 event.
The ministry declined to say how much money would be spent on the tickets or whether there had been any concessions given.

1. come to think about it, what so not "transparent" to reveal the entire cost of such purchase.
2. after all, it is taxpayers' money too.
3. unless, there is something not too convenient to reveal, right!
4. yog is a failure right at the beginning.
