You call this bonding?

The New Paper | Mon Sep 19 2011

Upset girls burst into tears when university orientation games get too close for comfort.

PICTURE this: Girl lies on her back on the ground and boy leans in on her. Boy gazes at girl, mere centimetres separating them.

The action takes place openly in a school.

A case of students making out? Not quite.

The pair didn’t know each other beforehand. They were “secret partners” – strangers matched up in the name of university orientation.

The aim? To promote bonding, said those who attended the Singapore Institute of Management-University of London’s (SIM-UOL) orientation last month.

About 400 students took part in such close encounters.

Other activities included eating a biscuit from opposite ends and hugging the opposite sex.

Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao said some girls were so affected that they burst into tears later.

A male student who took part in the three-day-two-night event told Wanbao about a female peer who sobbed after the event: “I heard she has a boyfriend. Such intimate contact made her feel like she was cheating on him and she broke down.”

He said the lying-down game was especially traumatic for some: “Imagine the girl and guy facing each other. If the guy’s hand slipped or he wanted to take advantage of the girl, he would be mouth-to-mouth and chest-to-chest with her.”

Out of 100 people polled by The New Paper yesterday, three in four were aghast when they saw a picture of a couple “in action”. They said such steamy games were not okay.

Moral decadence is the best to describe this incident where both school management and student leaders have failed the larger society to protect its young female citizens’ modesty. Imagine asking the guys to do push up on girls, my goodness. I tried it on my wife and when I was in the “down” movement of the push up, my chest already touched her breasts and she is really not that big there. Really pervertic to think of such “bonding” games. I can understand why the girls cried. They must had felt violated and nothing they can do for fear of being single out by their school mates and seniors in a new school.
