CURRENT AFFAIRS’ BLOG COMMENT WINNER

Janielynee Class 6/2

Nigel Yap,13, and his seven-year-old brother, Donavan were killed when their bicycle was hit by a cement mixer truck at a traffic junction in Tampines. Many hurtful photos were posted online soon after the tragedy. I think the person who posted the picture of the two boys were very inconsiderate because the parents of the two boys will be reminded of the incident and feel very sad and disappointed.

Ryan Sim Class 6/2

Nigel Yap and his seven year old brother, Donovan Yap, was killed when they got knocked down by a cement truck. Some people took gory pictures pictures of them and posted them online.I think the people who took the pictures of the boys were insensitive because if the boys’ parents were to come across the pictures of their dead sons, they would be very devastated. We should always think about what we are posting on the internet and how other people will feel when they come across the post.
