AhJason 5th Gear April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 Lui Tuck Yew so desperate? Now working with MOE to rope in secondary school kids to promote their new bus service? [YOUR LETTERS] TRANSPORT AUTHORITIES FORCING SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TO DISTRIBUTE FLYERS? | All Singapore Stuff (ASS) Dear editor, I hope you can share this and let the general public know how MOE and Transport ministry are making use of our children. My son is a student in Ping Yi Secondary School. The school has asked my son and his friends to distribute flyers to the public at bus stops to raise awareness about the new feeder bus service 222 in Chai Chee. This is outrageous! Why do you need to use students to raise awareness of a profit driven organisation? Their exams are also around the corner. Why are the transport authorities so desperate now? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangadrool Supersonic April 30, 2014 Share April 30, 2014 (edited) ever encountered one bunch of students from nearby secondary school asking patrons to returm empty cockeries at West Cock Market. IMO, quite a risky unpaid job 'cos can kena tio hood by angry people one de. Could be a mis-understanding lah.... Maybe the students were doing a community service or something lah...

AhJason 5th Gear April 30, 2014 Author Share April 30, 2014 Could be a mis-understanding lah.... Maybe the students were doing a community service or something lah... Community service is about giving back to society, such as helping out in Old folks home, doing charity work, clean up the beaches, deliver food to the elderly etc. But community service by helping a profit driven private transport company? Don't quite gel to me. like that also can consider story just by writing one letter without further verification? but u like lui tuck yew meh?
