A modern Greek tragedy unfolds
(pg 6-7)
Greece is having serious
financial problems now
It happened because Greece
was spending more than it

not managed well by the
government

Daniel Cabrera lost his
house in a fire
He studies outside

This photo has since
gone viral
He has since received
aid and a scholarship
Avoid meltdown when let down
(Pg 13)
Train service on the MRT’s
North-South and East-West
lines shut down on 7 July
About 250000 people were
affected
Many people actually
responded with kindness,
humour and creativity
instead
Read on to see what some
people did to cheer up the
people around them
Welcome back to school and a new term, Beacons!
