Dear all,

Kindly share your experiences or views.

Personally I do benefited from this project.

I remember Toa Payoh has one, now replace by new block of flats ...

 

Sembawang Boy's club was the most active but in the end, also die of natural death ... ^_^

 

Last time, kids 'boh tug chey' (never study) and roam the streets to form 'street corner gangs' aka si-gi-na. More kids on the road especially during school holidays. So the clubs were formed to keep those kids out of trouble.

 

Another problem is whio going to fund those Boy's Clubs ?

Boy's club just sounds kind of wrong in today's environment, right? @porker? @porker?

 

I do agree with you, but the idea of Boys Club is good. Maybe they have a improve version from old one, beside Police officer they can employ some 'expert' (some people are just good in influencing and able communicate with the kids, they can be good role model like some teachers in schools beside father).
