很高兴再次参与Lianhe Zaobao 联合早报社区关怀项目 "陪你看报纸"。这个大型读报活动非常有意义，让读者能够与早报的编辑与记者以轻松的互动方式，解读新闻、了解天下事。
明年是《联合早报》创刊100周年。多年来，早报见证了新加坡历史的演变，通过深入浅出的新闻报道与时事评论，让新加坡人加深了对政府政策与国际局势的了解。谨此祝贺早报百尺竿头、 百年如新，继续为读者提供百分百的优质新闻!
Glad to be at the Zaobao “Reading with You” event at HeartbeatBedok yesterday. This programme was on pause due to the pandemic, but now that it has resumed, our seniors can get together again to keep updated on current affairs. Some sessions are also conducted in dialects!
Also happy to launch the Zaobao centennial celebrations as they celebrate their 100th anniversary next year. I look forward to an exciting year of centennial activities!
Speaking with some Secondary 4 students from CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School. They were there to lead discussions on recent Zaobao news reports. Well done!

Congratulated Dato’ Sri Fadillah Yusof over the phone today on his appointment as Malaysia’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Plantations and Commodities. This is especially significant as Dato’ Sri Fadillah is the first Deputy Prime Minister from East Malaysia.
We reaffirmed the importance of bilateral ties between our two countries, and had a good discussion on ways to further enhance cooperation, including with Sabah and Sarawak. There is much that we can do together in areas such as the digital economy, green energy, and agriculture.
Wishing Dato’ Sri Fadillah every success in his new appointment!

How can our youths create a more sustainable future?
Early this year, the National Youth Achievement Award Council and SPH Media Trust posed this question to our youths in a National Writing Competition.
Wonderful to hear that they received over 300 entries, from primary to post-secondary students! Yesterday, I presented awards to the top six entries. Also had a good chat with them and others off-stage. They spoke with such passion and purpose.
I hope we can continue to inspire our youths to read and write, and as importantly, do more to protect our precious planet!
[L-R] Olivia Law (Merit award); Celeste Chua (Merit award); Deborah Lee Jian Yi (1st prize); Teo Lay Lim, CEO, SPH Media Group; James Soh, NYAA Executive Director; Rakshita Murugan (2nd prize); Nicholas Ong Yew Hui (3rd prize); and Bryan Voon Chew Tong (Merit award).
Witnessed the signing of an MOU between SPH Media Trust and NYAA.
Our tertiary level students who are interested in journalism and sustainability can look forward to the “Youth Journalism Leads” programme next year. Jointly supported by SPH Media and NYAA, this programme will offer training opportunities for journalism, internship and mentorship opportunities and more.

Pleasantly surprised to see ‘ding ding candy’ at our recent Bedok movie screening of “Turning Red”. I haven’t seen it in a long while so I’m glad children (and those of us who were once young
) can experience this sweet treat!
There were also other booths offering snacks like popcorn and malt candy at the screening. Glad to see our kids enjoying themselves and spending some quality time with their parents.
Our seniors will also have their very own day out at the cinemas next week. They will be catching the film ‘Ajoomma’. We hope we can organise more of such movie screenings and outings for our residents! #ECCares
This is the ‘ding ding candy’ booth. The candy is made of malt sugar with sesame and ginger flavours! The name comes from the tapping sound made by the metal tools used to break apart the hard candy into small pieces.
