Put an end to this dangerous JC 'game'
I AM a parent of a boy studying in a premier junior college in the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio area. Recently, it has come to my attention that rowdy behaviour is threatening to compromise the safety of the students.
According to my son, the violent act is dubbed 'taupok', a reference to a highly compressible piece of brown beancurd. A student would shout 'taupok' and other students would pounce on the targeted person, drag him down forcefully and climb on top of him. Due to peer pressure, more and more students would join in until the stack of bodies is about a metre high.
This violent act is supposedly done in the name of fun but, as a parent, I feel that it is potentially dangerous and even life-threatening.
Furthermore, the 'taupoking' is not a rare occurrence. It can happen up to five times a day, anywhere and to any person.
During the orientation programme for Year One students, even a person standing on the stage during a performance could get 'taupoked'.
Supposing that an average person weighs 60kg, a typical group of 15 would weigh almost a tonne. Just as a person cannot survive without air for three minutes, I am very sure that the human backbone cannot bear the sheer weight of a thousand kilograms.
What happens if the victim's spine breaks? Or if he sustains any other injuries? Who will bear the consequences?
Fortunately, my son has not been a victim of 'taupoking' yet, but he still feels rather uncomfortable about this dangerous act. Also, he feels obliged to join in due to peer pressure, as everyone else is doing it.
Some would say that 'taupoking' is perfectly safe if one assumes the correct position, with one's elbows and forearms touching the floor so as to support the weight, like in rugby. However, not everyone knows the correct position to take, and when surprised one might also forget to assume that position.
I write this letter in the sincere hope of preventing a tragedy. Hopefully, we can keep 'taupok' where it belongs - in that delicious bowl of noodles.

TAUPOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
can already see from the ministers we elected in 200x.....they are in no way close to the elders, even if given a few decades...they speak without serious consideration, poor choice of words and NATO most of the time.Originally posted by greengoblin:Maybe he kenna "taupok" and anal when he was younger so he wants to protect his son...
stupid man...we getting faggots for leaders... -
wat`s rong with it??
i ever saw ppl getting the same treatment at ACJC
on stage when the teachers are around??
everyone had a great luagh and the episode is over
i don see anyone complaining abt it...
all i can say
is they`ve no sportmanship to complain abt such trivial matters -
ha....dun play play, maybe one of the taupokeRs or taupokeEs maybe our next minister...Originally posted by BaByBoY:wat`s rong with it??

so u`re saying ministers no sportsmanship??
kekeke -
i hope someone dies, then maybe more people will laugh.

Heh heh. Taupoking happened frequently when I was in acsi. It still does. It's all in the name of fun, but we don't stack more than 3 peeps.
Who in holy hell was the moron who complained? Singaporean everything must complain is it. -
I can't wait for that boy to get into NS, taupok seems like child's play.
-
So thats what JC peeps are up to?Tsk tsk tsk...
-
if its not the son's idea to complain, i pity him for having such a father, if the son favours the idea, i believe migrating is suddenly a very attractive option to me considering that someone like that is going to be a future leader
-
aiyah.. taupok seems ok la... as ppl say, in contact rugby oso like tat...
better than getting "pillar-ed" right... poor kid if something go wrong no more father's day liao wor... -
Wat's wrong wif taupoking? Everyone sure had his fun time in school... Dun tell my our ministers never played catching in sch? Taupoking is just a way for ppl to relax. In my sch, even the prefects taupok each other but they are actually good leaders. If S'poreans cannot even tahan such things, let their children go thru a hassle-free life which is like a bed of roses, I think we might as well say that we cancel NS.
When that day comes, I WILL migrate, no becos our future leaders taupok each other in JC or watsoever. It's becos parents and others cannot even accept taupoking in JC or sch and want their child/nephew or niece/sibling to go thru life without these things. How can we expect THIS type of leaders to lead us? Malaysia just say "I dun sell water to you anymore" and THESE type of leaders will do anything just to retain their own comfort zone, even to the extent of betraying our contries.
Just like an Italian guy said in the COMPASS Partners ceremony, let the children play. Let them play and stop burdening them with books. Let them live their childhood to the fullest. -
gosh, i hate to be in Justin Situ Jnr's shoes in that premier ang mo kio-bishan JC after that letter.
