JC student apologises to DPM for blog post

DPM Teo taking part in the Pre-University Seminar last week. He was accused in a blog post by JC student Reuben Wang of dodging difficult questions, but Mr Teo said he had avoided simply giving students answers as he wanted them to think deeply about the difficult choices they had to make. -- ST PHOTO: ASHLEIGH SIM By Stacey Chia & Matthias Chew Junior college student Reuben Wang was so annoyed by what he heard from a VIP at a seminar that he blogged: 'F*** you, sir.' The VIP was Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, the key speaker at this year's annual Pre-U Seminar attended by more than 500 students last week. Reuben's blog post went viral and he blogged again, unrepentant about his use of the expletive. But on Thursday, the St Andrew's Junior College (SAJC) student had a change of heart, met Mr Teo at the Ministry of Home Affairs and apologised to him.
