Racial Harmony Hour
So the racial harmony day came and went. I was talking to my friend from HCI, where he commented that racial harmony day in his school is so sian, just some dance performance by students of different races.
Well, AJC really hit it when our Racial Harmony Day consisted on the entire JC2 cohort cramping into the auditorum, with many sitting on the floor and watching a video made by our very own student, with shaky camera and bad narration + background noise. Then, an expert on political science and economics came to give a talk about the racial scene in Singapore. After he was done, a forum was opened and students from the audiences were invited to make any comments or feedbacks to the speaker. No one did. With no choice, the teacher on stage actually named the student who made the video, and we witness a dialogue between the speaker and the person who made the film. The dialogue exposed how shallow our film-maker-to-be was in this aspects, and also made be felt like someone evadropping on 2 people talking to each other.
Soon after, the "forum" ended and lessons resumed. How's that for Racial Harmony Hour? For all I know, Innova JC, one of the least prefered JCs actually had a carnival (reported on Channel NewsAsia!) that was even larger and more exciting than AJC's Family day.
If AJC want any good reputation they certainly don't know how to get it.
