Hunger Games Singapore Featured On Youth.SG
Hunger Games Singapore was featured on The Straits Times back in March 23, 2012.
We realized that we were featured in one of Youth.SG articles titled “Communities and friendships formed through the World Wide Web” too.
Much like Twilight Singapore, Hunger Games Singapore is also a fanpage that constantly keeps up to date on everything related to the popular book series by Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games.
The trilogy follows Katniss Everdeen, a young woman who lives in a dystopian world where several selected youths are forced to participate in a brutal and lethal game called the Hunger Games.
HUNGERGAMESSINGAPORE.WORDPRESS.COM—THE PERFECT PLACE FOR SINGAPOREAN FANS OF THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGYOne can still see the kind of dedication that its founders have for The Hunger Games despite the community’s relatively small fanbase, with every post featuring a video, a contest, or a news article about the trilogy.
You can check out “Communities and friendships formed through the World Wide Web” for other websites and online communities that were featured.
Thank you Youth.SG for featuring us!

‘The Hunger Games’ And Hunger Games Singapore Feature In The Straits Times
Following ‘The Hunger Games’ release in Singapore yesterday, 22 March 2012 edition of The Straits Times had a feature article in Life! section which also includes an interview with Hunger Games Singapore team. ‘The Hunger Games’ was also reviewed by The Straits Times staff and given a 4/5 stars rating.
As The Straits Times coverage on ‘The Hunger Games’ was huge, we were unable to scan it. However, pictures were taken and these are relatively clear enough for you to read as long as you right click and open the images in a new tab to maximize it.
We would like to thank The Straits Times reporter, Yip Wai Yee, for the interview. We are truly honoured to be able to speak to you about our love and passion for ‘The Hunger Games’ franchise.
‘The Hunger Games’ was released on 22 March 2012 in all major cinemas islandwide.

Hunger Games Fans are also ‘Teaming Up Against Hunger’
This month, as we prepare for the release of The Hunger Games movie, Hunger Games fans are taking action to help fight hunger in the real world. We’re teaming up around the world to help The Harry Potter Alliance’s Imagine Better Project with their campaign, Hunger is NOT a Game.
Just like in District 12, there are lots of people around the world who don’t have enough to eat every day and who struggle to get by because of forces they can’t control – war, famine, and unjust laws. But we can do something about it! Just like Katniss, we won’t just sit by and watch it happen. We will take our fight directly to the Capitol itself to try to change our world’s perspective on hunger and eradicate it for good!
For the next month our friends at the Harry Potter Alliance are running the Hunger is Not a Game campaign so that we can all help with this issue – whether it be running a food drive at your local movie theater for the midnight release, signing Oxfam’s GROW pledge, or spreading the word about this important issue. You can join the campaign by visiting the HPA’s website: http://thehpalliance.org/imagine-better/hunger-is-not-a-game/. Together, we can stand up against the Capitol and get rid of hunger for good!
Another way to help end hunger would be to play English vocabulary games at Free Rice. For every answer you get it correctly, they will donate 10 grains of rice through UN World Food Program to help end hunger. We couldn’t think of a better way to expand your English vocabulary and yet help end hunger at the same time.
Not convinced yet?
The Hunger Games cast, World Food Programme and Feeding America are in too!
World Food Programme is also giving away 5 signed posters by the three main cast of The Hunger Games movie and all you have to do is to just visit World Food Programme and answer the Hunger quiz correctly. Don’t forget to donate too!
Meanwhile, remember not to waste your food and take lesser than what you need during meals such as buffet. You can always take more after you have finished eating those on your plate. The food you are wasting away could save someone else’s life.
