This is the second time I'm wearing the Party White uniform. To be able to wear the uniform that the founding father of Singapore wore and is still wearing gives me a deep sense of pride. White signifies purity and integrity. And Singapore remains low on corruption level till today.
Our branch secretary, Mr Sim Wai Chin BBM, attended the ceremony together with Hock Rong, Alex and myself. He is supportive of the youth efforts in the constituency and we deeply appreciated his presence.
Among those present at the ceremony were Comrades Sam Tan, Eric Low, Vivian Balakrishnan and Faishal Ibrahim.
The event started off with an impactful hiphop dance performance by dancers who wore all white as well. YP Chairman Comrade Teo Ser Luck talked about the new structure and invited the various subcommittee heads to brief the YP leaders.
Then, region by region, YP leaders receive their appointment letter from Comrade Teo as well as Vice-Chairmen Comrade Zaqy Mohamad and Christopher De Souza.
Then came the award presentation -- Activist award, Mobiliser award, Nurturer award and the service award.
Comrade Teo delivered a speech at the end of the award presentation. In my opinion, he speaks very naturally and casually, and makes us feel that he's part of us. This is the 4th time I'm listening to his speech and managed to spot a pattern. He always begins his speech by sharing with us his personal history. This is a good way to let us know him better.
He shared with us how he had always been picked at by the teacher when he was in school.
When he was working, his employer picked on him too and as a result he was sent overseas by the company. However, this increased his personal value and experience. When he stepped into the party, he found real friends who he could share his passion with and work together.
The ceremony ended early and we got to network and meet our counterparts from other branches.
If you're interested in serving the community and believe in having a multiracial, meritocratic Singapore, why not consider joining the Young PAP and do your part for the nation?

Hello, i'm doing a project and i was wondering if PAP utilises NACLI to train its talent in any aspect at all.
ReplyDeleteHi mangayarkarasi,
ReplyDeleteThe answer is no.
NACLI provides for training and development for students and People's Association grassroots leaders, not for political purpose.
Do refer to www.nacli.pa.gov.sg for more details :D
