NUSSU Rag and Flag

An ongoing secret revolution amongst workers unions and Chinese medium schools reached into the hearts of students at Bukit Timah Campus where then University of Malaya resided.

During the election rallies, then-Presidential-nominee, Frederick Samuel, spoke fervently of the challenges facing the country and the need for the student body to do something positive for the disadvantaged in society.

The Welfare week provided a forum on University Student's role in society, a blood donation campaign, a mega concert, a Flag Day and a procession of Floats through the city.

Proceeds from Flag Day went to the Singapore Association for the Deaf and Dumb, the Marymount Vocational School for Girls and the Johor State Welfare Committee's Project for Crippled Children.

The theme for Rag 2010 is "Splendour", and riding on the occasion, the floats of the 6 NUS Halls of Residences will each portray the elements of the six cities/continents through which the Olympic Flame passes.

Questioning links between Rag's original purpose as a community project to celebrate the generosity of Flag donations and its current form as an intensive intra-varsity competition, the documentary suggests a strong disconnect between these two aspects.
