SingPost Youth Olympics blunder, now to set things straight

[besotted]

SingPost, as immature as the dumb fuck Westernised teenagers that they wish to engage, went on a vandalising spree

There is no need to engage the youth. Look at how the proud elite boasts while benefiting from parents' connection, and how the ah beng boasts about their territory

The only way to treat the youth is to import 1.5million PRCs to dilute them. Our youngsters are weak, brought up on corrupt corroded Western values. All they do is stick an ipod in their head and fuck care the whole world

The whole world shud fuck care them. Bring in the PRC high quality FT. Our youth will only grow up if they suffer.

IT SEEMED like a good idea at the time but Singapore Post on Wednesday apologised for a recent publicity stunt that backfired.

SingPost chief executive Wilson Tan said: 'I would like to again apologise for any inconvenience caused to all parties.'

He was responding to questions posed by reporters about the recent 'acts of vandalism' carried out on SingPost posting boxes which attracted both public and media attention.

Speaking at a media event held at the Killiney Road Post Office to introduce SingPost as a sponsor for the Youth Olympic Games (YOG), he added: 'Certainly, that was not the desire and aim.'

The stunt involved six post boxes being spray-painted by a shadowy masked figure dubbed the Inkman, who also made an appearance and posed for photographs at the event yesterday.

SingPost said on Wednesday that it had engaged local events agency A Group Of People, to carry out the viral marketing campaign centred around the YOG theme, Express Yourself. The agency approached the police late last month to ask if a licence was required for the 'out-of-the-box' street art stunt, said SingPost.

Read the full report in Thursday's edition of The Straits Times.

A Group Of People Names GM

Singapore - Group Eight's event agency, A Group Of People (AGOP), has hired Serena Eng as GM and Sheryl Woo as head of the account servicing team.

"The appointment of both Serena and Sheryl added immediate value to our agency with our recent wins in several projects. I am sure that with Serena's appointment as GM, AGOP will grow stronger as a creative event agency," Watson Lee, Group CEO for Group Eight, said.

Eng joins the agency from the A&P department of Ngee Ann City where she oversaw events which took place at Civic Plaza while Woo was most previously from Asatsu-DK.

AGOP recently won the MCYS Family Violence tender as well as a launch campaign for new F&B outlet.

GOOD JOB SERENA ENG

Dumb morons cant even tell the difference between being creative and vandalism. They thought ang moh land all over the place got graffiti = must be good thing. Do they even realize that the average Ang Moh also dun like graffiti. U can spot signs all over the place in Europe telling pple not to vandalise trains, walls etc. The best part about the enitre episode is the stupid thing looked so ugly. If it looks nice I still have nothing to say, but the thing look like shit

They choose to reach out to youths by vandalizing.

I wonder how they will reach out to Ah Tiongs? Get a group of people to anyhow spit along the streets? Motley crew cycling along Chinatown?
