Youth Olympic Games - letters and blogs

1.
YOG'S TICKETING MYSTERY
 
Tickets sell out early, but venues are poorly filled
 
'Far from a sell-out as organisers had announced.'
 
'Half-empty venue was evident even on television.'
 
'Empty venues send the wrong message. Very sad.'
 
'Sadder still, Tan's parents had to buy tickets.'
 
 
2.
Invest same amount of effort in fringe events
"There were at least 4,000 empty seats, he replied.
 And he performed at Marina Bay,
 which was the site of a grand crowd just three nights ago..."
 
 
3.
YOG driver set bad example
"This continued for more than a minute until I managed to get alongside the vehicle
 and indicated to the driver that he had been noticed.
 He then put down the phone and continued on his way
 towards, perhaps, Changi Airport..."
 
 
Youth Olympics a Singapore paradox too

It would be good if our local media can take a more critical view on matters (not just YOG alone), rather than just re-print press releases from the government. If not, the politicians and civil servants will simply get complacent, thinking that they can do no wrong, since the media will not point out their errors.
