Despite differences, S'poreans can come together to create a better nation: Chan Chun Sing​

View attachment 113292

SINGAPORE - Despite differences in approaches and perspectives, Singaporeans can play a collective role to help meet the varying aspirations and needs of society here, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Friday (June 4).

While there could be friction, ultimately, Singaporeans need to be determined to stay united by what they have in common and the shared vision and purpose to create a better nation.

"No one has a monopoly over good solutions. No one solution is good enough to meet all needs.

"Different groups can play different roles to meet the different aspirations and needs in society. Together, they make a collective difference in society," said Mr Chan.

He added that it is not just the outcomes that matter, but the manner in which Singaporeans come together and get groups with different backgrounds and interests to unite.

Mr Chan was speaking at the closing ceremony of the annual Pre-University Seminar.

Held online, the event drew more than 500 participants from 30 pre-university institutions over four days.

This year's seminar focused on challenges and opportunities for Singapore amid the pandemic.

In his speech, Mr Chan urged students to treasure their local identity even as they embrace a global mindset.

"I hope our young will have the gumption to venture out and make your mark in the world. Beyond that, we must also be able to work with talented people from elsewhere and locally - a diversity of international talent working alongside skilled Singaporean talent, exchanging ideas and bringing out the best in each other," he said.


But while young Singaporeans keep up with the goings-on in other countries and adapt best practices where suitable, they must not copy blindly or become "intellectually subjugated", the minister added.

"We must be careful not to get swept up in popular theories, rhetoric and movements which could divide us."

Instead, young Singaporeans must understand what works best for the country given the nation's unique context.

They must be prepared to do this even if it sets the Republic apart from the crowd, Mr Chan said.

He stressed that young people here must always be willing to do better and stay humble and agile, as how things are done could change as circumstances evolve.

"Thus, we should be culturally secure, without being culturally superior. We should have the intellectual humility to learn and improve, but not feel intellectually inferior," he said.

"If not, we are no better than a broken reed blown in every direction of the wind; or a rudderless, anchorless vessel tossed about by the vagaries of the waves generated by megaships."

Mr Chan said that the current generation can be a pioneering and conquering one that will help Singapore shine even brighter in the world, even as the nation weathers the Covid-19 crisis.

He acknowledged the stress that young people face, given global competition and the pressures of pursuing a "mirage of perfectionism".

"Social media has made us more connected, but also heightened a pervading, judgmental sense of inadequacy and a culture of hollow aspiration.

"Our youths face more pressure to pursue a mirage of perfectionism, from OOTD (outfit-of-the-day) to idealised relationships. And now with the pandemic thrown in, the challenges are exacerbated," Mr Chan noted.

But the challenges are not insurmountable, he said, adding that the students' generation is blessed with knowledge, resources and opportunities to be among the world's best.

The minister noted that the measure of every generation's success is not in how well they do but how they steward the strong foundations they inherited and enable the next generation to do even better.

"Just like those before you, I hope your generation will do justice to your blessings, and pay it forward by leaving a lasting legacy to those who will come after you," he said.

Once again . Keechiu stating the obvious and making motherhood statements, trying to sound like a mature "statesman" but only fooling the easily manipulated.

Nine in 10 graduating students have signed up for jab: Minister​

Almost nine in 10 students from graduating cohorts have signed up to be vaccinated against Covid-19, and half of them have received their first doses, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing said yesterday.

About four in five polytechnic and first-year junior college students have registered for vaccination, as have five out of seven students from Primary 6 to Secondary 3.

Students in autonomous universities will be invited to sign up for their jabs from today, Mr Chan said.

Giving an update on the Covid-19 vaccination exercise for students, Mr Chan said in a Facebook post that the Ministry of Education (MOE) vaccination centre at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) College Central began operations yesterday.

It is the first of four dedicated MOE vaccination centres to open, with the other three to open in the coming days.


Mr Chan said he spoke to parents and students and was very encouraged that students were keen to register themselves early.

"They told me they wanted to protect themselves, their families and friends. They also said it would provide them peace of mind in preparing for their year-end exams," Mr Chan said.

When The Straits Times visited ITE College Central yesterday, some students turned up for their appointments alone, while others were accompanied by their parents.

Anderson Serangoon Junior College student Edsel Lim, 18, said he had intended to get vaccinated ever since he heard students could sign up.

"It is just socially responsible to do so," he added.

Mr Chase Lim, 24, a student at Temasek Polytechnic, said he was about to start an internship and wanted to get the vaccine so he could work in the office safely.

He added that everyone he knew from his polytechnic had vaccination appointments.

Mr Chan said in his post that he was grateful for Singaporeans' understanding of the need to prioritise students in the national vaccination effort.

"We will continue reaching out to our students and families who need more help to register and get their vaccinations done," he added.

Why are they wearing masks when they are outside under the son n exercising? And they are also socially distanced...wont their sweat saturate their masks making it difficult to breathe? In addition the virus can travel that far? Sunlight wont kill it?

The kids need not wear masks if they are exercising, socially distanced and out in the sunlight.

I think everyone should not b wearing mask under such circumstances unless it is very dusty

Thank you everyone for the tremendous effort in getting our children vaccinated soonest possible. It will provide us with greater peace of mind as we look forward to school reopening.
Since last week:
- >50k of our students have received their first jab.
- more than 9 in 10 of the graduating cohorts have booked their appointments, with 6 in 10 having taken their first jab.
- more than 4 in 5 eligible students from P6- S3, JC1 and Poly have registered.
- After we opened up invitations for the students in autonomous universities yesterday, 2 in 3 have booked their appointments.
We look forward to the rest of our students signing up soon.
Would like to thank everyone for your understanding and support to allow our children to book their appointments early, before MOH extends invitations to the rest of the population next. CCS

Thanks to Bro Chun Sing, little sinkies have been saved from covid deaths. Majulah PAP!
