Fatal internship
'I have questions.'
MR CHEE JOO HIAN: 'I am saddened by Wednesday's report, 'Poly student dies in nightclub brawl in China'. I have questions for Singapore Polytechnic. Did the school do its homework before dispatching the students there? Why was Heilongjiang province picked as an internship venue, rather than the more established eastern cities of Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou? Were the students briefed on the dos and don'ts in a foreign land? They may have interned as a group but they are young - all under 21 years of age. Did the school staff study the area first-hand before deciding on it as an internship venue? Finally, what precautions are being taken by the school for future student assignments abroad?'
