Singapore American School Last Day Of School Tradition

SAS has this wonderful tradition where all the buses blare on their horns and all teachers come out to wave goodbye at the students.

How is blaring their horns a wonderful tradition? It's very inconsiderate to the residents living nearby. I am one, and was rudely awakened by this noise pollution after a whole night of working. If this happens again next year, I will be reporting the school to the police for public disturbance.

@SASdriverssuck I am sorry that you were disturbed. It only happens once a year, and it is during the day where most people are at work or up anyway. When I lived in Singapore, I had to put up with the many various disturbances - like that horrid joss burning for the hungry ghost month - and so many Singaporeans suffer from it too because at the end of the day, we lived in very close proximity. We all put up with people's various practices and habits - it is called tolerance.

@bmwfanz sorry not sure but you could be right

Yes, it is a great school. My boys miss it like anything and they were only there from K to Grade 1.

@butterflye2020 So you wouldn't go anywhere that violates human rights? Or is it just people that can violate human rights, but if the government does it, it's wrong? Child prostitution, that's in the US and it's a human rights issue, but it's ok because the government doesn't condone it? Every country has its flaws, you fail to mention that singapore has an EXTREMELY low crime rate and over all is a pretty good place to live...although, you wouldn't know that because you've never lived here.

@butterflye2020 Here's the thing.It's their country,they don't force people to live here.Singapore is well known to he harsh with their laws, therefore, OBEY THEM!If you want to do drugs, drive 20 minutes to Malaysia.And no,the gum law isn't true,it used to be,but now they could care less.Just because you live in a country,doesn't mean you have to agree with everything it does.And they don't kill people for simply possessing drugs.Kids at school get caught every year,they're just deported.

@ELPaso1990TX No one said anything about being "soft" on crime, but it is easy to use that as some sort of an excuse to allow physical brutality and the Torture of human beings. All international human rights groups, the majority of United Nations members and most of the rest of the civilized world rightfully condemn Singapore's acts for the cruelty it is and prohibit this violence. Criminals are still human beings but Singapore de-humanizes offenders violent or not

@buterfli2002 The worlds biggest threat is liberal fascism, that has resulted in western governments being soft on crime. Normal common people in the west are fed up of murderers pedofiles, getting soft treatment thanks to out of touch liberal intellectuals. We are fed up of rising violent crime. Many people admire Singapore for its tough approach to crime that has made it a very safe country. People are tired of liberalism and if criminals don't want be punished, they must not commit crime!

[buterfli2002]

Continued Human Rights crimes are committed by Singaporean leaders and they should be held accountable for their actions in an international court of law. Perhaps things will change with the death of a dictator that has mandated the barbaric torture of males for over 40 years

@SASdriverssuck It is going to happen again, because this is a tradition because a lot of people at schools like this never get to see each other again, people move all the time and it’s not their goddamn fault, if you have a problem I think that you should stuff it up your tight ass,it’s one day out of the fucking year and I think you should lay off them, the Staff of this school obviously have no goddamn problem with it, and they’re most obviously a lot closer to the source of the noise.

I was so unhappy to leave SAS. It had lots of awesome and amazing memories that you cannot find in any other school. Seeing this video just breaks my heart. Thank you SAS! ;)

Very foolish Americans for being in Singapore in the first place. Singapore stands for everything contrary that America does not: Human rights violations, censorship, denial of civil liberties, persecution of journalists/authors (Alan shadrake), draconian laws, torture of males in the prison system, a mandatory death penalty, and the list goes on.

@gmsale1970 Religious nonsense aside (can't stand them joss burning either - ehhh, maybe I'm getting too old), 45 minutes of constant blaring is not a joke. Imagine if you had a little baby whom you had just gotten to sleep and then *this* happens. I'd tolerate about 5 minutes or so of the honking, but when it goes on for 45 minutes? You've gotta be kidding me.
