[quote]Displeased with the planned merger of Raffles Institution (RI) and Raffles Junior College (RJC) next year, students are raising their objections on the Internet.
Also, a dialogue session with current RJC principal Mrs Lim Lai Cheng - scheduled to be held on 15 November - will be arranged by students to allow both sides to air their views. Late last month, the same student organisers from RJC met Mrs Lim to table the student body’s concerns and displeasure over the merger.
This unease has led to the setting up of three groups on social networking site, Facebook. They express strong resentment for the merger and wish that students “will be given more say in the running of the schoolâ€
Aiya, people will always be angry when someone changes something that they were a part of and proud of. Same deal with TCHS and HCJC merging to become HCI. I'm sure the AC people will also complain if ACS Barker/Independent and ACJC suddenly became AC Institution or some other shit name.
Working "hard," or the perception of working hard, doesn't really mean anything. Sweating, vomiting, and breathing hard could be a good workout or a tropical disease kicking in.-Dan John
