Singapore Institute of Management (SIM)-University of London's orientation games recently came under the spotlight when Chinese daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that some girls burst into tears during the session.

Some of the activities included hugging the opposite sex, eating a biscuit from opposite ends and girls lying on their backs with guys leaning over them.
Netizen Zerocool questioned the appropriateness of such games on Stomp, a citizen journalism website: 'Why do they even allow such lewd games? They are sexist, irrelevant and humiliating, especially to the girls.'
A SIM spokesman interviewed by The New Paper has stated that the student councils who organise the orientation programmes are given clear guidelines, and are 'reminded that safety and modesty should be adhered to'.

About 400 students took part in the Singapore Institute of Management-University of London's (SIM-UOL) orientation games, which some have said were inappropriate. Some activities included eating a biscuit from opposite ends and hugging the opposite sex. It was reported that some girls were so affected that they burst into tears later. -- PHOTO: WANBAO READER
