SWINE FLU SHIT
SMU is being blamed by Singaporeans for bringing the swine flu to Singapore, which i feel is completely unfair.
So typical singaporean behavior, the persistant need to blame someone or something for anything that happens
I appreciate the freedom that SMU has given us to decide for ourselves whether or not we wish to continue our overseas trips.
I don't feel the school was irresponsible, in fact i feel what the school did was in the interest of the students.
If i were part of the new york bsm i would definately have gone on the trip. Given that the swine flu threat was less serious then what it was initially thought to be, i wouldn't let 13 weeks of presentations, sourcing for sponsorships, meetings etc. go to waste. not inluding the fact that getting into ny bsm is so difficult.
Anyway. everyone should layoff blaming the poor girl for bringing the flu to singapore. It was only a matter of time before swine flu hit us.
and people seem to have forgotten the fact that this COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANYONE.
is the goverment going to stop every single person from going to the US? i don't see what's so wrong with the school allowing the students to proceed on their trip.
and i don't get why everyone is coming down so hard on that poor girl, just becasue she's the first case. What about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th case of swine flu. Being the 4th victim of the flu doesn't mean the virus is less threatening right.
p.s. some one commented that the smu student had poor hygeine habits. PLEASE! how many people actually follow the advice given for mantaining high standards of hygiene e.g. spend 5 minutes washing their hands etc.
gross. singaporeans can be so ugly sometimes. i am ashamed.
