Singapore - Secondary school students from four South-East Asian countries are taking part in special camps aimed at forging friendships through national borders, Singapore`s education ministry said on Tuesday. The 400 youngsters from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei are involved in "team-building adventure activities and games that promote international collaboration and bonding," the ministry`s statement said.
