Daddy
MOE bought the tickets for the students to watch for free and yet there were so many complains of school forcing students to support the YOG.. so sad..

Some couldn't get the tickets even if they wanted to pay for it in hard cash.. -
Way2GO:
Exactly! They keep doing this on the expressways... the other cars also dunno which lanes to give way to...
one YOG coach kept on d 3rd/2nd centre lane,
regardless if it was d reserved YOG lane cos
PIE lanes vary from 4 -> 3 -> 4 -> 3 in some sections.;

We forget our own, again
Ms Lynette Ng, ST forum 23rd Aug 2010:
“I agree with Mr. Richard Low’s letter last Thursday.
I am the sister of a YOG athlete. My family of four
had to purchase our own tickets to watch my brother compete.
At the opening ceremony, he was one of the flag bearers,
and for that too we had to purchase our own tickets.
The amount spent on tickets came to over $1,200.
Family members, or at least the parents, of YOG athletes
should be given free or discounted tickets.”
YOG athletes and officials are given all expenses paid
trip to participate in this YOG.
Has SYOGOC forgotten to take care of its own people?
Not every family can afford $1,200 to support their kid.

Even more of the overseas YOG athletes would not have a relative in attendance at this event.
Why do they need to spend $1200? Brother, sister, parents, granduncle all need to attend every match?
A bit unreasonable, I think..... -

3 Boys, I did a double-take at the amount myself...I think that included the Opening Ceremony. That would have been the bulk of money spent. :stupid: :stupid: She didn't mention anything about the Closing though...think too peeved!

wow.... i didnt know that there is no FOC tickets given to the athletes. I am expecting at least 2-4 tickets to each athlete to give their suporters. So sad.

me too, not aware of that the athletes were not given free tix. While the schools gave tix to students to watch YOG, then maybe the authorities could give 2 FOC tix for the athlete's supporter to watch it too? -
