As for the online petition
started by polytechnic students to shut tertiary institutions, Radm
Teo indicated his ministry was willing to speak to those behind
it.
"There're several thousands, I think it's very good. I think they
are taking an active interest in SARS. I've asked my officers to
actually see if we can speak to the students who started this
petition and make good use of the network to help educate the
students to address their fears and concerns. I think it's part of
public education," said Radm Teo.
