SINGAPORE : Singapore will host the first Youth Olympic Games next year. But the spirit of the Games came early to Orchard Road on Sunday, stopping shoppers literally in their tracks.

They watched 50 youths in lime green T-shirts collectively freeze at several locations along the popular shopping belt.

These CAN! or Create Action Now! ambassadors, as they are called, were part of a flash mob to publicise an upcoming youth event, to be held on January 10 at at the Singapore Management University.

This marks the first time students from the four local universities have come together to organise activities in celebration of Singapore 2010. - CNA/ms
