Their Outward Bound School (OBS is part of PA's network according to the website) charges like $300+ per student to attend OBS. This is a bloody monopoly. Apparently all sec school students will have to attend once according to MOE's guideline.
My brother told me that he paid $300 over for his son (my nephew) to attend OBS. 5 days 4 nights. And according to my nephew, food was just maggie mee, some canned food and bread. My brother is not complaining about the hardship and indeed, he thought that it's a good idea to let my nephew rough it out and to experience some hardship in life. It's part of the learning process. But what he TULAN is the amount of money to be paid for going! He didn't think it's worth the $300+ fees.
According to my nephew, there are about 400+ students in his standard to go to OBS. There are about 20+ instructors. For the 4 nights, they pitch tent and slept outside. They cooked their own meals with simple food provided. Assuming it's $300 per person, OBS is making more than $120,000 in these 5 days! My brother is well-to-do and can afford the $300+, but he wonder how those families from lower income group can cope.
It's ridiculous that PA (a PAP-linked body) is also so gian lui... some more students cannot anyhow opt out of this unless on Medical background.

Pay $300? ......... all along we never had to pay to attend any courses at the Outward Bound School.

You will notice everything here is tailored to serve you, for no behind is not left, behind.

People's Association once objective was to serve the people, of course, nothing was free, but affordable.

It had become a Paying Association..pay lah!.

$300 is cheap for your child to rough it out in OBS...whereas you can do that cheaper at East Coast Park, rent a tent site, buy maggie mee....etc

What is $300.....people queue for $1 petrol...this amount is insignificant...can't afford, no problem, no behind is left behind.....whine, grovel & help will come...but you must be submissive doggie thereafter, for when the Masters blow the whistle...YOU MUST RESPOND..

Nothing is free...so PEOPLE's Pay & get ASSCOIATION....:biggrin:

Idiot sporns why always want to pay money to experience hardship. Life is full of trials and tribulations already, so why pay to add more. If having good time just enjoy it for as long as it last.

Taiwan school pupils 'made to eat fire': TV report

AFP - Thursday, October 22
TAIPEI (AFP) - – Taiwanese authorities are probing child abuse claims against a school that allegedly made pupils as young as six swallow fire to boost their courage, a report said Thursday.

The case came to light after parents complained that they paid 9,000 Taiwan dollars (280 US) for a five-day course only to find out that their children were asked to swallow fire, said the TVBS news channel.

Footage showed a female teacher shoving a burning home-made torch into the mouth of a reluctant child.

The cram school, in south Taiwan's Tainan city, also made the children walk barefoot over shattered glass and split wood with their bare hands, the TVBS reported.

"It's like they were abusing the children. Each of the 70 or 80 children were really suffering," an unnamed mother told the station.

The course is taught by a self-proclaimed hypnosis master who boasts that his programmes can help develop the children's potential and make them braver, reports said.

The authorities are investigating the child abuse claims, while the school also faces a fine for operating without a permit, according to the reports.
