A group of parents are complaining about being exploited by a top local school.
Lianhe Wanbao recently received a letter from a group of anonymous parents complaining about a Teacher's Day lunch held by Raffles Institution (RI) on 1 September.
In the letter, the parents allege that the parents' support group often calls for donations from parents, yet spend on "grandiose" projects, like the recent Teacher's Day lunch.
The letter goes on to criticise the sumptuous feast at this year's Teacher Day celebration, which consisted of door gifts, expensive gifts and chocolates.
