Keechiu is happy that some home based businesses shared their experiences with residents. 
At the various small-scale Lunar New Year activities held across different parts of the constituency yesterday, some of My Buona Vista home-based businesses showcased their products and offered samples to our residents.
Happy that they also shared their experiences with fellow residents. Maybe they will inspire others to pursue their interests and start their own businesses as well.

Keechiu attends the Memorial organised by 新加坡中华总商会 SCCCI.
Joined the Memorial organised by 新加坡中华总商会 SCCCI this morning to remember the fall of Singapore 80 years ago. The site of the Memorial is especially poignant. It is a reflection of our painful past. But it also inspires us towards a better future.
During World War II many were marched off from the City Centre to Changi Beach - never to be seen again. A painful reminder of the fate of the people of a fallen land.
We are determined never to let this fate befall Singapore and Singaporeans, ever again.
What we cannot defend, is not ours. What we are not prepared to defend; will also not be ours – be it the physical space that we live in, our way of life, or our ability to chart our destiny and our values.
Our strongest deterrence will always be our foresight, determination,and unity. The foresight to anticipate dangers and threats, especially in peace. The determination to put into action the plans to defend ourselves and our right to hold our destiny in our hands. Our unity to overcome all odds as one people must be the final line of defence.
From the Memorial site, we also see the future that we can build with determination, harmony, and unity.
The evolving Singapore skyline bears testimony to the foresight and determination of our forefathers. It embodies our determination as a people to not define success by how well we do in this generation, but how well we allow the next generation to do even better.
We give thanks to our forefathers who gave us what we have today. Let us commit ourselves to the sacred task of upholding and defending this land, our people, values, and destiny.

from straitstimes.com:
SINGAPORE - The pace of acquiring skills and new knowledge must intensify as Singaporeans face the reality of having to change jobs every five years, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing.
He added that about 20 per cent to 25 per cent of Singapore's local workforce of about three million may need to upskill yearly - that is about half a million adult workers every year.
To do this, the definition of success for the education system must change, said Mr Chan in a keynote address at The Straits Times Education Forum 2022 on the evolving role of universities.
The forum was held in partnership with the Singapore Management University (SMU) on Thursday (Feb 10).
Mr Chan said: "The definition of success for our education system cannot be just how well we produce a cohort of 30 to 40 thousand students each year for the job market. It should be how well we do that plus retraining and upgrading about half a million adult learners each year."
Mr Chan went on to detail four points where the education system must change to achieve this new goal.
He said: "First, we need to jettison the concept that we can ever be done with learning."
No amount of education early in life can prepare Singaporeans for work, he added, and only continual learning can help them stay current for the rest of their lives.
Second, Singapore must let go of the idea that there is a pre-defined pathway to success.
He said: "Success is never static. It matters less how many of our students in a particular cohort go to universities and polytechnics or the Institute of Technical Education at a particular point in their lives.
"It matters more, much more, how many of our students can acquire the appropriate degrees, diplomas, graduate diplomas and even stackable modules and micro-credentials throughout and at relevant points in their lives, to meet their ever-evolving life cycle needs."
Mr Chan added that a "lifetime participation rate" in training and education is a more appropriate description of what the education system wants to achieve at large, rather than the current practice of measuring cohort participation rates at the various institutes of higher learning here.
Third, skills and knowledge must be constantly combined and recombined to create value in a quickly evolving market.
He said: "The skills to learn, learn fast, unlearn, and relearn, become more important than getting a particular grade at a particular point in life."
The skills to collaborate across different disciplines, cultures and perspectives to create something new is now more important than ever before, he said.
Mr Chan added that flexible modules across multiple disciplines that allow students to pivot across sectors have become even more important.
He gave the example of the Singapore Management University's plan to give some students the choice to design their own curriculum and build their own degree courses.
And fourth, Mr Chan said the education system needs to shorten the time to market for skills and knowledge.
He added that there must be faster movement from frontier research, leading industrial technology and breakthrough market practises to academia and back to the market.
He said: "This defines our competitiveness as a people and system."
To achieve this, the education system must sharpen its approach to internships, academia and industrial collaborations, as well as alumni engagement, he added.

While OYK and Lawrence battle covid, Keechiu visits kindergartens. On behalf of Keechiu, I would like to thank LHL. 
“Don’t worry, it’s easy” 4 year-old Dzakir reassured me as he taught me the matching game that they were playing in class
.
Was happy to see how much the K1 and K2 children at MOE@Northoaks enjoyed learning through play. Eyes widening with curiosity with the introduction of each element, the children were fully engaged throughout the session.
Through games such as Fishing for Pairs and Snap/Find a Match, the children learn to identify matching objects, and also to socialise with their friends by taking turns. Numeracy games introduce basic Math concepts in a fun and intuitive manner. I used to learn Math using card games too
The kindergarten years are important in helping our children develop cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills. By providing a nurturing and fun-filled environment at our MOE Kindergartens, we hope to give them a positive and strong start to their journey of #LifelongLearning.

It is his job to visit schools and kindergartens. A cushy job given to him by his very nice boss.
