Keechiu visits Alexandra Primary School.
Elliot, a Primary 5 student, dreams of becoming a military historian. He spends his leisure time building Tamiya tank models. His schoolmate Kelly wants to be a zookeeper, whilst Nurelsyah hopes to be a professional footballer. Was struck by their passion and knowledge of these fields!
They were among the students I met this morning at Alexandra Primary School - SG. Also enjoyed interacting with the lower primary students who are back in school, after a week of home-based learning from 28 June. The return of Pri 1- Pri 3 cohorts to school marks the final phase of the progressive resumption of physical classes, which is part of the comprehensive suite of measures by Ministry of Education, Singapore to keep our students safe from #COVID19.
The average attendance for MOE schools yesterday was 97% -- this is similar to the attendance rate pre-COVID-19. Glad to see that our teachers and students are all back into the groove! With our students back in school, parents get some respite from juggling work and childcare as well .
Some of the Pri 1 students told me that it felt like the first day of school all over again, and indeed, the excitement among the lower primary school kids was palpable! Enjoy the rest of Term 3 – study hard and play hard!

Keechiu sets a riddle.
Saw this interesting road design when I was at CHIJ (Kellock) recently. Why is it half red, half black? Make a guess!

Chan Chun Sing Many of you guessed correctly! The red half is a running track that weaves through the school. Students use it for PE lessons and sports training when the school is closed to traffic. Creative use of space!

Keechiu promotes Skills Future Month.
Ms Carol Goh, 50, used to work in the aviation industry, but her job role was made redundant due to the #COVID19 situation.
Although she did not have any background in healthcare, Carol was undeterred and enrolled in the HMI Institute Healthcare Assistant course under the SGUnited Skills Programme. Not only did she acquire new skills and knowledge, she was able to earn a monthly training allowance at the same time. After the programme, Carol received a job offer from the Singapore National Eye Centre / Singapore Eye Research Institute, where she is now working full-time as an Operating Theatre Technical Assistant.
Carol’s journey echoes the theme for #SkillsFutureMonth2021: “Open new possibilities when you upskill”. More than ever, it is imperative for us to continually upskill and reskill in order to capture new opportunities. The SkillsFuture movement is a critical enabler in this effort, supporting Singaporeans in our lifelong learning journey and pursuit of skills mastery.
The SkillsFuture Month kicks off today. Organised by SkillsFuture SG, there is something for every Singaporean at different stages of their learning journey, from fresh graduates and mid-career working adults, to mature workers in their 40s and 50s.
More information on the SkillsFuture Month and activities can be found at: myskillsfuture.gov.sg/skillsfuturemonth.

Keechiu celebrates Public Service Week.
How much do you know about the Singapore Public Service? We ask our little ones.
We came together as One Public Service at an observance ceremony today to mark Public Service Week. Many thanks to all our public officers for their hard work, especially in the last 18 months helping us to get through the pandemic.
I shared with our colleagues three areas for the public service to evolve faster in a more volatile world. Read my speech here: https://bit.Iy/36oeCBR. CCS

Keechiu bought lunch and dinner for his family from Bukit Merah View Market.
Dropped by Bukit Merah View Market this morning with Joan Pereira. We checked in on our stallholders, and I bought lunch and dinner for my family.
While stallholders shared that business has been badly affected as customers stayed away because of fear, I was heartened to know that they were keeping in good spirits and looking forward to the return of customers. Let’s support our stallholders during this difficult time. CCS

Came across this at a Redhill Market drink stall. Any guesses as to what the bottles are for? CCS

Chan Chun Sing Some really creative guesses! Yes, they are used for coffee/tea takeaways. The stall holders told me that they wash the bottles thoroughly before use.
I wonder if it’s a special feeling to drink kopi from beer bottles.

Keechiu visits Redhill Market & Food Centre.
Redhill Market & Food Centre was quieter than usual when I visited yesterday. Stallholders told me business was affected as customers generally stayed away from the entire 红山 (Bukit Merah/Redhill) area, even though the market was not affected by the recent Covid-19 clusters.
I hope more of us will return soon to enjoy the wonderful food and fresh produce on offer. CCS

Keechiu went to the zoo virtually.
Rainy day today. But we can always go to the zoo!
Joined more than 100 families from My Buona Vista for a virtual excursion to the Singapore Zoo. Hope everyone had an enjoyable and enriching experience, learning more about the animals.
My thanks to our grassroots leaders and volunteers, The People's Association colleagues, and partners from Wildlife Reserves Singapore for organising this! CCS

Keechiu speaks at 通商中国 Business China’s FutureChina Global Forum.
Is closer ASEAN-China economic cooperation a matter of destiny or strategic choice?
This year marks the 30th anniversary of ASEAN-China dialogue relations, and it is timely for us to reflect on how we can continue to deepen cooperation going forward, amidst changing mega-trends and disruptive forces.
At 通商中国 Business China’s FutureChina Global Forum today, I spoke on 3 key determinants of success for ASEAN and China to jointly seize opportunities in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
— Adopting a long-term view in forging complementarities and trusted partnerships;
— Building an open and inclusive regional network of trade agreements to connect supply and value chains;
— Fostering interoperability of standards and regulations.
The history that we have forged did not come by chance. In fact, the future that we are striving towards is also not predestined. However, with mutual trust, and on the basis of a mutually-beneficial relationship, I am confident that the prospects for deepening ASEAN and China’s economic cooperation will remain bright.
历史并非偶然，未来不是必然。
秉持互信互惠，前景必定生机盎然。

Keechiu encourages students to shape their own learning experiences.
When the students at Seng Kang Secondary School (Singapore) mooted the idea of doing tyre slams as part of a sports challenge, their PE teacher gamely secured 12 tyres and brought them to school for the students!
This is but one example of the enabling environment at the school, where students are encouraged to lead and proactively shape their own learning experiences.
In an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) lesson, the students engaged the elderly staff in the school to learn about the challenges they faced in their day-to-day lives. After understanding their target audience and problem statements, the students worked to come up with different solutions. From automatic pill dispensers to managing water demand, it was heartening to see the creativity sparked in these students as they worked to address real-life problems in the classroom.
The strong bond that the teachers and students have with the school was also evident. Sec 3 student Jesslyn, shared how her Math teacher Madam Kaur had patiently helped her to improve in Math, and her aspiration to pay it forward, by becoming a teacher at the school in the future. The strong camaraderie amongst the teachers came through in their candid conversations and exchange of playful jibes, as they passionately shared their thoughts on the education system and how we can collectively improve student learning outcomes and processes.
Indeed, the formative experience of our students in schools goes beyond academic learning. By igniting the students’ curiosity, nurturing a sense of belonging to the school and community, and purposefully providing the students with opportunities to succeed, we inculcate confidence, a sense of identity and problem-solving skills that will serve them well for life.
