Republic Polytechnic's Great Scheme of Things.

I wanted to restart the blog with a nice, happy post, but i can't really take it anymore. there seriously is something very wrong with RP's management.

As of 28th June, 2009, at 9:00pm, there are already 51 confirmed cases of H1N1 virus in the school. As of 11:41pm, we still have not received any news or proper explaination from the school.

Why have they quarantined the year 1's when there was only 2-3 cases? Why aren't the year 2's and year 3's being given leave of absence to self quarantine, even when the number has shot up to 51? is the management trying to achieve something by doing this? Republic Polytechnic is currently one of the highest contributor of the virus, next to Butter Factory, and even Butter Factory handles their incident better than this place i study in that calls itself a tertiary institution of higher learning.

Apparently they think that, since we are already year 2 and 3, we are like, fucking strong, whilest year one's are like fucking weak little piglets that will fall ill the moment the wind gets a tad too strong. Or maybe there's like this hidden module, V101, Viral Imunity, that we all secretly pass as long as we don't miss class more thatn 14 weeks with a medical certificate. Maybe that's why they think we're strong.

HEY MANAGEMENT. time to wake up. you think we'd let you take huge portions out of the $1050 we pay every month as school fees, for free? you don't get paid for sitting on your butts while an epidemic is sweeping the school you know. We, as the student population of the school, deserves a proper explanation, not just some forwarded webmail that made at least 5 rounds. We need to know why. Unless the reason is because the electricity bill for keeping up the aircon and fountains 24/7 are getting too high, and you'd like to collect another year's worth of school fees.

I read on the papers, the way they put it across to reporters were almost like music. "Oh, we, like, totally ask our students to take their temperatures, like, twice a day, and they have to, like, totally declare their temparatures, something like that? we're, like, a school you know.." Yeah, nice implementation of control measures, people. since when do you actually ask us to declare twice a day? even on the week where there was temperature screening with the infra-red cameras and stuff, you people we're just pointing the infrared gun at the crowd, but chatting all the way behind the screens. i bet tons of people snuck past you with fevers.

If i ever fall sick with the H1N1 virus, i tell you this: i am going to pull the whole school down with me.
