Yog
With the hosting of the Youth Olympic Games for Singapore , many foreigners have come a long way to Singapore to participate in the various sports. Being able to host the Youth Olympic games gives us great pleasure, but with it come responsibily. We have to mind our language and our attitudes towards many things and give way to foreigners to give them a good impression. Watching the games give us great exhilaration and many volunteer for the games. What we must mind is our public behaviour . We must mind our postures and language while as we might be captured on national tv. We singaporeans have to give a good impression of Singapore to people from other nations.If we were not to mind our impression on others , the game itself would become a failure. As a volunteer myself , I have witnessed many rowdy spectators who did not care about their image infront of others.They talk very loudly during play and make unneccesary noises during the game. Being a local , even I could not bear to watch the locals hollering around and doing stuff not fit to be on global tv. What I think is that if this would continue , locals should get banned from YOG.

Personally, I feel its OK to make some noise here and there. After all, its a Olympic game and its impossible to expect everyone to shut up and don't do anything for 3 hours. I believe that it is find to make noise as it increases the atmosphere which make the game more enjoyable to watch. As long as it not overdone, its OK. In your last line, you remarked that local should get banned from YOG. I feel that quite stupid as most of the supporters are after all Singaporeans and not all Singaporeans act this way.
