Keechiu wants to listen to youths.
To understand our youth, it is important that we listen to them.
Enjoyed interacting with about 200 secondary students at the Mandarin Dialogue organised by REACHSingapore, Singapore Press Holdings - Engaging Minds, Enriching Lives and Committee to Promote Chinese Language Learning, to discuss the challenges they face and the ways to cope and remain resilient.
Some shared their worries with Mdm Tan Leng Tuan, Dr Chua Chee Lay and I about keeping up with their studies during this period. I would like our students to remember that there is no single pathway to success.
Success is not defined solely by how well we do in exams. Hindsight has taught me that each and every one of us truly have our own strengths and talents. In life, we will embark on different paths, and must have the confidence and conviction to define our own success by capitalising on our abilities.
Have courage to believe in yourself — we believe in you
天生我材必有用 —— 我们每个人都有能发挥所长的领域。人生的道路漫长，而在学校的时间仅是一个阶段。希望我们的学生们理解学业成绩并不是成功的唯一定义。在努力学习的同时，积极发掘自己在学术或以外的兴趣和才能，与同学和师长建立深厚的情谊。

Keechiu thanks participants of the Charity Run.
It is heartening to see that charity doesn’t stop during #COVID19, and corporations have been exploring different ways to reach out to those in need in our community during these exceptional times.
Enjoyed flagging off the SGX Cares Bull Charge Virtual Charity Run yesterday evening with our national athletes Shanti Pereira and Syahidah Alim, and kickstarting the 10-day virtual fundraiser.
SGX Cares has been supporting underprivileged children, families, persons with disabilities and the elderly since 2004. Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will likewise go to many beneficiaries such as the Autism Association (Singapore) and Fei Yue Community Services.
A big thank you to all participants of the Charity Run for contributing to this good cause in your own way! And may more corporations come on board in helping the vulnerable segments in our society.

See how industrialists value advice from our esteemed ministers? Singapore is lucky to have talents leading our country to greatness.

Keechiu is proud of public officers.
Being tested Covid-positive must be an alarming and worrying feeling. You may be unsure of what to do, how to protect yourself and loved ones, and your emotions run high. This is something Yeo Ee Kai knows well.
A customer service executive at CPF Board, Ee Kai is familiar with the day-to-day running of a call centre. He and his CPF Board colleagues partnered PSD Singapore to set up this call centre at The Treasury, to support Ministry of Health, Singapore in managing the high volume of calls they are receiving from citizens on matters related to Covid-19. The call centre was set up in over a week and 170 volunteers from over 40 agencies were onboarded and trained as call agents.
I met several other volunteer call agents. Iswandy Othman, an Immigration & Checkpoints Authority clearance team officer based at Sea Domain HQ, is used to being out at sea. He is now indoors and volunteering at the call centre, taking on a new challenge to help citizens with their Covid-related queries.4
Gandhi Kaliappan, a tax officer from IRAS learnt to be agile and adaptable to address the diverse needs of citizens calling in. She was very eager to be part of this nation-wide effort to help our fellow Singaporeans get through the anxiety of fighting Covid.
Sarah Wong, 23 years old, an OBS instructor from the National Youth Council Singapore, went from leading secondary school students in outdoor educational experiences to the youngest team lead now in this call centre operation.
I’m proud of all our public officers who responded to the call and stepped forward to serve our fellow Singaporeans. With this spirit, I’m confident that we will emerge stronger from this together as one nation.

Keechiu appreciates our teachers.
We recognise the exceptional demands that #COVID19 has placed on our teachers.
From educating our students on Safe Management Measures and ensuring compliance, to contact tracing and home-based learning (HBL), our teachers have been a stoic first line of defence in supporting our students’ well-being.
Their welfare is of paramount importance. To understand their needs and sentiments, we conduct dipstick polls and engagement surveys, and school visits are made by senior management – including Dr Maliki Osman and myself.
In Parliament today, I shared that Ministry of Education, Singapore have put in place measures to address the concerns raised by our teachers on workload, and provide them with greater support.
These include:
• Providing resources and support for the implementation of HBL.
• Reducing schools’ involvement in HQ work and pilots.
• Greater flexibility to pace implementation of selected initiatives, including deferring implementation if this helps to spread out staff workload.
• Encouraging school leaders to reprioritise school programmes, and establishing clear expectations on teachers’ availability and work hours, and having supervisors check in on them regularly.
• Promoting a positive and supportive work environment, such as organising workshops covering stress management and self-care. Schools have nominated Wellness Ambassadors for staff to receive training on how to provide peer support and encourage their peers to seek help.
For teachers who need help:
• MOE provides free counselling services.
• MOE, polytechnic and Institute of Technical Education, Singapore staff who are public officers can access the whole-of-government counselling hotline. Staff in Autonomous Universities have access to in-house or external counselling services.
I greatly appreciate how our teachers have shouldered heavy responsibilities to ensure that our students can continue learning safely throughout the pandemic. As parents and members of our larger community, let us come forward to show them care and support – just as they have readily stepped up to protect and care for our children.

SINGAPORE - The Singapore-China Forum on Leadership will be held virtually on Friday (Oct 29), with the Republic making a planned transition to Education Minister Chan Chun Sing as co-chairman on its side.
This is the first time the forum, which was first held in 2009 and is in its eighth iteration, is being held online.
Mr Chan, who is also Minister-in-charge of the Public Service, is co-hosting this year's forum with Mr Jiang Xinzhi, who is China's Executive Vice-Minister of the Central Organisation Department that controls personnel appointments for the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Both men will deliver the keynote speeches.
Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, who was co-chairman of the previous forums, will meet Mr Chen Xi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of the Central Organisation Department, via videoconference before the forum.
The forum, which Singapore and China typically take turns to host, enables political leaders and senior officials of both countries to discuss experiences and challenges on leadership development. The seventh forum in 2019 was held in China.
The Singapore delegation, led by Mr Chan, includes Minister for Communications and Information Josephine Teo, Minister for National Development Desmond Lee, Minister of State for Communications and Information and National Development Tan Kiat How and Parliamentary Secretary for Communications and Information and Health Rahayu Mahzam, as well as senior government officials.
The Chinese delegation, led by Mr Jiang, includes Central Party School Executive Vice-President Li Shulei, Vice-Minister of the Central Organisation Department Wang Xiaoping, Central Organisation Department Secretary-General Hu Jinqi, Vice-Minister of Civil Affairs Wang Aiwen and Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs Wu Jianghao, as well as senior Chinese officials.

Keechiu enjoyed his discussion this morning.
In the face of global challenges such as #climatechange and the #COVID19 pandemic, engaging our international counterparts to forge closer linkages remains more important than ever.
Greatly enjoyed the discussion this morning with Prof Tan Yong Soon, and participants of the National University of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy Senior Fellowship in Public Service (SFPS) Programme from 13 countries
.
We covered a broad range of issues, including challenges faced by ASEAN as a region, shifts in the global world order, and disruptive forces and opportunities for our education systems. Was glad to hear their perspectives and understand more about the experiences of their countries.
May the Senior Fellowship participants stay in close touch with their peers after the programme, and continue to learn from one another. For we are always stronger together.
