A disappointment
It was a massive disappointment to learn about the cancellation of the O and A Level Award Ceremony 2005. As a student, I was certainly looking forward to it but what frustrated me was the timing and reason of the cancellation. If ever there is one thing that students aim for, it is certainly The Daily Star Award because, after all, it is a very prestigious one. But my question is why was it cancelled? I am not saying that helping the "Monga"-affected people is a bad thing, but I feel DS could have done it anyway. I am sure DS could have arranged both the things. The "Monga" didn't happen like an earthquake and this is not the first time that famine has struck the northern parts.
The programme was cancelled at the very last moment. From a student's point of view, I find the decision immensely frustrating, as we were ready to attend the grand ceremony.
