From Straits Times 26 June:
"Meanwhile, more students from Republic Polytechnic were ordered to stay away yesterday.
On Wednesday, the poly had ordered some 4,500 students - its entire first-year cohort - and 16 teachers to stay away.
Yesterday afternoon, about 100 second-year hotel and hospitality management course students and 19 teachers were asked to stay away from school.
The poly said that as of yesterday, 18 students have tested positive for the H1N1 virus.

At Republic Poly, which has seen the widest disruption to classes so far among all schools, several students expressed worry about their health.
Said one second-year student in the aerospace course: 'It doesn't make sense to ask only the year-ones to stay away.
'The infected person would have have walked around the polytechnic, and we should just close down for a week and sterilise the surroundings.'
The students said they preferred to learn via the school's e-portal, which they termed 'part of everyday life'.

One student, meanwhile said he had trouble getting to school yesterday.
The 19-year-old second-year on the hospitality course, who did not want to be named, said: 'This morning, I was rejected by two cabs.'
'Both flatly refused to take me once I told them I want to go to RP.'
'The third cab dropped me off at the traffic light and refused to go into the school! I can't believe it!'
WHY ARE WE NOT QUARANTINED YET? Not fair. Why only year ones got quarantined, while the year twos and threes still need to come school and be exposed to the virus? Nabeiiii.
ANYWAY I FINISH MY REPORT ALR OMFG YAY! HAHAHA. Cant believe i finished Mission Impossible hahahaha. And thats the reason for the lag in blogging as well. I can finally have a good night's sleep.
