Latest news from Andrew Loh of TOC:
There seems to be some discrepancy in the total no. of tickets for YOG. ST reported in May that total is 320,000. On 7 Jul, the new figure is 245,000. Back then, they said sales were sluggish. Now they sales are brisk. When you got 100,000 tickets sold and MOE has purchased 80,000 of it, you call that brisk?
Second issue is that apparently, students are made to co-pay for their own tickets. What?? You fucking force me to attend and I still have to pay? Sounds like Lift Upgrading Programme? Your fault for not installing lifts on every floor in the 60s, you did not realise that people grow old one day and now you wanna make me co-pay for your mistake today?

fuck.. if i was a student, i'd not go..

Why PAP always like to force people to do things they don't like?
-
I thought MOE bought the tickets so that it could give students the opportunity to watch the event free of charge and at the same time fill up the sporting venues.
If you are going to force students to go and then make them pay partially for the tickets, then it really sucks.
-
It is a truth for all to see what the millionsters are good at.
Showing off at the expense of the tax payers money.
Not willing to fix real problems like over-crowding in MRT and buses.
Cracks are showing already.
As for students, it have also become money making tools for them to cover their failure.
I hope the parents will complain on the waste of time and they cannot focus on the exams.
-
I wonder where the money goes to.
I didnt see much improvement to the infrastructure... except for those big big banners saying Residents of XXXX welcomes YOG! And also those lanes painted with YOG logos..... -
Anyone knows the pricing of the tickets? I need to gauge how much I should mark them up for sale.
-
Money spent on:
- Openning and Closing Ceremony.
- Booking of the ground (Water, Electricity, Cleaning)
- Housing and Food
- Marketing and Advertising on TV
- Booking of transport
But, with the number of boot lickers that will be sponsoring the event, it will be a left hand out and right hand in for the high price charged for the individual services.
Another way to get tax payer moneys on meaningless stuff which does not benefit the land or its people.
As for marking up of the tickets, there will be lots of supply as no one will be buying for a event that is more boring than a S- league match.

Maybe with little top athletes competing in the YOG, Sg might have a chance to top the medal standings.
-
They just want to make things look good so that we could stfu and vote for them. no way around it

if it is for the sake of temasek holding, suck or no suck do not matter much to them.
and dun say that they force the student, if you look deeper, they are forcing the parents of the student to pay for it, that is how they get back some of the Gst rebate ya.

No matter how the money is going to be spend, the amount is more important than the spending, cos by stating the amount, it advertise the grand of it, and usually if you said Millions, it attract people. -

Push to get Singaporeans passionate about YOG

Push to get Singaporeans passionate about YOG SINGAPORE : The Youth Olympic Flame is making its way to Singapore and is slated to arrive on August 5, and the push continues to get all Singaporeans passionate about the inaugural Games.
Everyone can share and spread the Olympic spirit and children from the Singapore School for the Deaf and Mounbatten Vocational School are showing how they can pitch in.
They are taking the cue from the artistic co-ordinator of the Singapore Association for the Deaf, Ms Lily Goh.
A winning song "Dare to Dream" from the Sing! Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games song competition is one of the songs featured in a limited edition music CD album known as "Voices of Singapore 2010: In Celebration of the Youth Olympic Games".
Ms Goh said: "I had problems following the music, so I asked the interpreters to help me to see and check if everything is ok or not. Then, when I have gotten used to the music, I thought of how to use signs for the different words. I took about one or two days to come up with the signs."
While efforts to engage as many people as possible are producing results, there is still room for improvement.
Zainudin Nordin, chairman, YOG Community Outreach Advisory Committee, said: "We have reached a point where awareness is not the issue. It is now about coming to action, coming to converge at the Olympic sites, to the Olympic venue, to support our athletes.
"And also for us to show how much we are interested in sports and promote the sporting culture in Singapore, not just for the Youth Olympic Games but also future of Singapore. Because I think the sporting culture and industry need to grow. By having this, it will be a strong impetus for us to move forward."
His suggestion to Singaporeans is to buy the tickets and be part of the action.
Members of the public who wish to own a copy of the limited edition "Voices of Singapore" CD album can visit www.facebook.com/nycsg to find out more about the upcoming calendar of activities where they can stand a chance to win the music CD.
